Quite simply, at least for now, no.

That is not a priority.

The priority is getting botters/cheaters/hackers under control first …

Then fixing known issues …
then rebalancing …

Then maybe some new and/or improved stuff …

Gotta have priorities my man …

other than that … although it appears thought out and somewhat detailed [I only glanced over it, too early and no coffee yet] …

it looks to have too many “kickers” to it and may turn out to be a little too powerful … lotta “if”'s in there too … from the game balance side

That’s a pretty cool idea. Do you mean they act as a walking corpse explosion when hit? Great idea.

Play solo + no ladder.
Bots will be powerless.

Which ones ?

What skills or items ?

Yes !
They attack enemies.
They agglutinate around bosses.
When an enemy hit them, Poison Explosion is released.

Alternatively, you can run, let enemies chase you, slalom between zombies and when enemies collide with them (“touch”, collision box), Poison Explosion is released.

This second strategy is particularly useful against enemies that have a low attack rate.
