Dear Bliz, can you fix Bob so he doesn't contest points?
See title. I was playing on Dorado or something and someone ulted on the cart. We wiped them up, but we had only a healer left alive or something. We could have won, but because Bob was on point, it contested until the rez wave hit. Torb's turrets can't contest. Sym's turrets can't contest.

Hey there, as others have noted this is intentional. When we were creating BOB we started out with him being treated completely the same in the game as a real player. This did lead to some problems! For example, if you were in the assemble heroes phase and one team had 6 players and another team had 5 with an Ashe the game would start if Ashe summoned BOB! Not ideal .. :)
While we made a few fixes to systems like the one above, in general our goal is to make BOB very close to being a full player when he's active.
Cheers.
