Dozer - a tanky backline support/trapper (images + abilities)

[bonesaw]

Saw @burnmelt post requesting heros that are less aim oriented. Here is my attempt:

My goal was to shift the skill focus from weapon aim towards ability timing and trap placement.

Dozer has support and trap abilities at their disposal, as well as a slow shooting pellet spray weapon with an unprecedentedly wide cone.

Play style involves:

• using constant low DPS from pellet gun as spacer
• keeping your teammate shielded with Gyrocopter Drone so they can take focus
• finding timings to setup Radio Dynamite Bundle without enemies seeing
• baiting or pushing enemies into range of Radio Dynamite Bundle with Scout Mini-Tank
• nuking them with The Finale

Love the musical touch on the tank.

Could you self launch with the radio detonator?

Thanks!

I hadn't considered the possibility of using the radio explosives as a movement mechanic. I could see that being part of tier 3 upgrade perhaps as this hero currently has no mobility options.

Because this is a slower moving tankier hero, I was focused on allowing the hero to play in range of their own explosive and take reduced damage from it to keep an upper hand in a fight where the explosion hits Dozer and the enemy they are fighting.

Never considered a Gatling shotgun before. Love it.
