So as many have pointed out the wild west bots have yet to fill a niche as they are underwhelming at best.
After playing my doc live and on the test servers I feel it has some potential but needs tweaking. Most would agree.
It has a hard time surviving under 350m and running 4 orkans you are hard pressed to unload them all without dying.
I propose a buff tied to the quick draw ability. After quickswitching your weapons have a 50% increased fire rate for 5 seconds. Obviously this might make it overpowered with running rockets but even tarans and punishers would be fun. The bot needs something more and I feel having a time sensitive buff tied into the quickswitch ability would make the bots much more desirable.
What are you thoughts?

Doc is not meant to be run with 4 Orkans.
Best Jesse setup is Aphid Pinata / Aphid. Best Doc setup is 4x Tulumbas or Taran Orkan and best Butch setup is Trident Zeus or Trident / Zeus Thunder

Pfft. The guy above up there needs a good talking to.
Jesse: It's 10 second cooldown make it ideal to be used with EE Aphids. The reload and swap times mesh up identically, making it a great hit and run robot. Don't expect any other weapon to garner you similar success.
Doc: Due to the bot's lack of shielding options, you're best suited to play this at a range or at cover. My favorite damage heavy combo was 4 R40M Orkans; play it like a faster Fujin and you'll clean out the house. Alternatively, you can try 2x E-SG Tarans, they're a very deadly followup to an unaware opponent. My favorite for fun combo was 2x AC Molot Ts and 2x S-25 Tulumbas; pegging at people 700m away, and laying down extra hurt on anyone who got to 500m.
Butch: Don't be fooled, Butch is no brawler. Don't bother equipping ECC Thunders, since it suffers the same problem Fury does when it has three strapped onto it. Midrange weapons, while swappable, aren't a great idea since Zeus reloads very quickly and the HRS Tridents punch through physical shields with only +4 seconds of reloading. Long reload time weapons like Kang-Dae (15 seconds, 18 to swap) will work better if you don't have the WP. Ideally, get 4 Trebuchets; their burst damage on one target, with a 24 second reload time is very dangerous, whipping unaware light and medium robots with their shields down to within an inch of their lives.
