...to lumber bowling. All types of lumbers including freeze lumbers. Ultimately balances it. And kills off chaos clones. But on to a serious idea: integrate lumber bowling into a lockdown map and have lumbers to cap instead of standing around yourself.

Capture points that try to kill you? Interesting.
Maybe they only go for the enemy team and constantly march towards the enemy base, making it harder to keep control of the Lumber the longer you've had it.

I'm thinking that there are 2-3 lumbers per side with markings (or hats like they do at Christmas) denoting which team they belong to, but they attack anyone who comes near. Then you have to shield bump it (Striker dash hits it for a short distance like a normal shield bump, guardian shield pushes it further but slower, recon mark repels it constantly but not very quickly either) onto a cp to capture the cp.

I have a feeling that the constant-pushback could be extremely problematic. Some people would have it a lot easier, others would have barely any control, and it all boils down to latency. Then you have a divide between players between the "noob" regular-bump players and the "elite" constant-bump players, even though players with higher latency obviously want to use the regular bumps.
It's like getting rid of one brand of AA-rage and replacing it with another, dumber flavor.

I'd love to see more enemy map hazards
Right now it's just a gun puppy and the occasional rock jelly. Having various constructs enter onto a map based on the clock would be fun, but hopefully we could get the recon cloak to hide the player from these enemies.

Twist: All players have no weapons except the ability to shield bump and shield bash. Goal is to bump attacking Lumbers into opponent's team and time it so they attack them.
ie. this is how I play PVE. player vs everyone. including my party members.

NOOO!!!! Don't replace lockdown. I like lockdown the way it is. I suggest just make another PvP like Defence of the Ancients. Battle Sprites are allowed, lumbers for sentinel or whatever and zombies for scourge or whatever. Of course, shields, again, will be replaced by Guardian shield, Recon cloak, and Striker dash. The goal is to destroy the base like DotA. There are turrets, too and a long map so the base isn't easily destroyed. The base could be a really huge battlepod. I dunno it's just a crazy idea i had come up with and this is a really hard thing to make for OOO. Still, it would be awesome.
That would be wonderful... a map full of lumbers.
