So.... as some of you may know, I'm making a Mech/Battletech based AoS.
I hit a really weird obstacle... what kinds of abilities would a 'Mech have in an AoS style map?
I don't need help with the map unless you want to contribute, but I need some ideas for abilities.
So far the game works like this, you have an empty 'Mech chassis. You buy units and load them inside your 'Mech, and the 'Mech is basically a giant walking bunker.

So right now for abilities... I have
Leg shot: Decreases move speed of target Avatar. No cost, has long cooldown. 5-15 sec duration
MASC(Sprint): Increases Avatar movement speed, no cost, has medium cooldown. 10-20 sec duration
Overheat: Slows down Avatar. Increases firing rate of mounted weapons. No cost, has long cooldown. 10-20 sec duration.
Headshot: ranged stun(knocks pilot unconscious briefly)
Plan for the distant future: Giving certain Mechs jump jets, letting them slowly 'leap' to where you where you target. Can also be used for DFA attacks.
But that's all I can think of. From your experience is AoS style maps, but keeping in mind the giant machine genre, what other abilities could I make?
