What if there was a "parallel" system to the usual stat distribute system, like every 5 levels we could gain a paragon point, this point could only be spent on the cool paragon "buffs".

The paragon buffs would be the same as the regular buffs, 1 point would increase your base of that buff by 1-2%, cap each buff at 50%, these paragon buffs would be permanent, would be a cool way to tailor our bots even more.

Nothing to OP, but sure fun with more options on how to build our bots.

Just an idea.

Or even cooler, some other stats.. like chance for extra hit, increased block cap, armor-- the list goes on.

You could alternatively just play Diablo 3 lol.

I think it's an entirely reasonable idea though. Probably a good one.

...so long as it's tied to things like abilities to win an individual fight and not things like the buffs that try to "break the system." Even if increased battle speed seems entirely reasonable for highest-level bots, overall it certainly shouldn't allow bots to increase battle speed or collect more energy or whatever, imo.

Could we maybe even use the points to invest in abilities to make our bots feel more unique?

I've always wanted my bot to have a chance every round to spew an acidic ejaculate over its enemy. Wouldn't even be very good, mind you, DoT effects being bad and all... but would be really awesome!
