Need I say more?
NO BUT I BLOODY WANT TO!!!!
They are the most imbecilic, overpowered, boring, inexcusable wastes of RAM I have come across in this game. I just played against a team running 3 Mk2 StainTrain Spectres on carrier. You've got nowhere to go, its a shooting gallery.
Yes I know the opinion of many in the forum is that you just need to get used to playing them, but frankly no. We shouldn't have to get used it. Its an offense to competition.
How can I plan my attack when not only am I watching out for those 4 little purple bulbs but I'm also trying to get cover between myself and my teammates so I don't just get killed by proxy.
I was so proud of my team in that game, we kept the game going into the final minute and were even 4-1 up on beacons at one point. I had great satisfaction in roasting one of the little Stains with my inquisitor towards the end. We just ran out of bots.
Post game stats; our whole team had 400-600k damage and the bottom 3 of the reds had about the same.
The top 3 reds had over a million each. 2 of them turned out to be clan squadders and when I looked at their profiles what league are they in? Diamond. DIAMOND.
Tanking Stains.
So Pix MM actually thinks it's doing me a favour to pit me against them. Now my win rate has dipped below 50% it'll probably pit me against them again to try and get me back up to 50%!
Rwwwwwwwwaaaaarghhhhh!!!!!!
Ok now I feel better. Thanks for your patience.

You say Shocktrains!
I raise you Hydra! Admittedly hydra don't bounce from person to person, but they're equally as annoying and the user doesn't even need to pop out from hiding.

I think you'll find I said StainTrains ? Yes Hydras are frustrating too sometimes but they don't SO much damage that all your opponent has to do is press the "win" button and your precious bot you lovingly raised from a level 1 ankle biter is a steaming smear on the ground. Plus if you're in a spectre you're not really sacrificing that much protection to stealth-jump straight up out of cover, blow your poisonous load all over the enemy, then land back behind the same cover again in perfect safety. Like I said; Rwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaarrrghhhhh!

Few things are more frustrating than using good situational awareness, being behind cover, and dying from a noobtrain bounce.

I think the ST Spectre and the Hydra Spectre top the list of most annoying spambots of all time. I had a match in Canyon and there was this little 「cotton headed ninny muggins」 of a ST Spectre hiding behind cover and just popping up every 20 seconds to do massive damage with his mk2 maxed STs. Then, in another match, TDM in Dead City, the reds spawned a pair of Mk2 Hydra Spectres. They ripped my team apart and no one could get close enough to take them out.
