When Bob gets thrown out into the fight he is able to be bubbled, healed, nano’d, hold point, has autoaim, etc… He is basically another (automated) player on the field.
So why can’t I get ult charge from shooting him?
I would like to see more reward for destroying BOB, turrets, and the like.
No. I stationary target with 1000 hp is just a feed machine. Wouldn’t be worth using him
1200 HP of free ult charge…?
Pretty much this. Unless he gave like 1/4 ult charge or something like that, it would be a huge handicap to toss out an ult battery to the enemy team.
No Reaper would literally just farm Death Blossom off one bob
There is a way around this. Suppose he had 500 hp with 50% damage reduction. The total effective heal would be 1000, but you gain half as much ult charge for doing less overall damage. There are other things too like say he has 250 hp and 25% dmg taken.
Exactly this. Thank you.
I get so tired in these forums of the lazy responses where people just can’t use a little imagination. We don’t have to give the same ult charge as normal but it seems a little unreasonable to give 0.
I agree, but this doesn’t include the fact that healing would become twice as effective on him with half hp and 50% damage reduction so heals received would also have to be half.
I had not thought about that. Well, in custom games it is possible to reduce a target’s healing received stat.
If that occurred it probably wouldn’t be a bad idea to just let someone get ult charge off healing him if that too is reduced.
I mean, they could just give B.O.B. some unique code that allows him to have the same amount of HP he does now while providing 1/2, 1/4, etc the ult charge.
Doesn’t need to be over-complicated.
Why do you want more free ultimate charge? LMB and TNT already gives out far too much.
Because Ashe doesn’t get ult charge while he’s out. This is your answer.
Wasn’t that confirmed to have been a bug?
If it was, I haven’t seen anything about it. I can easily check if it’s “fixed” on PTR.
Oops, somebody didn’t actually read the post…

Thanks, I thought it was weird that they just put that in but never documented it. Maybe they were testing it out and forgot to remove it?
EDIT: It’s fixed on PTR, neat.
No but supports should get ult charge from healing him. Maybe 50% less ult charge vs a regular player.
Spaghetti code gonna spaghetti.
I used to work in QA for a videogame studio, and boy there were some bugs that just made absolutely no sense. It’s best not to think about them too much.
No I didn’t, don’t confuse your reader with a header like that then. There’s been so many clickbait threads here intend on wasting peoples time, you wouldn’t mind being a little more clear for the sake of others?
