I think they should add some character specific kill streaks. They could have them at 5 and 10 or something like that. The first one an instant kill and the other one could take out the whole opposing team. You would use them using the D-pad.

Sure, give a team that is probably already doing well even more overpowered stuff.. no sorry, I think that would make losing even more frustrating  Maybe a character that has a buff which becomes better when your team kills more and worse when your team mates die a lot.

I dunno, this kind of idea leads to steam rolling. Once your team has the momentum, the buffs could just make a bad situation hopeless for the other team.
This idea done in reverse would lead to a rubber banding of sorts, where the losing team gets to catch up to the winners, so to speak. Though I can't remember where I read it, I think the devs are against this kind of stuff.
I can't think of something in other MOBA titles where the teams get some kind of extra reward for playing well/poorly. Playing as a team and executing a good strategy is pretty much powerful enough in this game. A good team is going to out farm a bad team, unlocking more power items and overpower their opponents. That aspect of teamwork is kind of the point of the MOBA genre.

Yeah... No. Killstreaks might be fun in CoD, but they would probably ruin a MOBA. It's not designed to be about getting a large number of kills, it's about destroying the enemy base and turrets. Killstreaks just don't fit into the equation.

Er no, this isn't CoD. This would horribly ruin the game and I'm sick and tired of everyone suggesting CoD aspects in games they don't belong.

Kill streaks are an abomination to any video game that wants to be balanced. It promotes selfish play and hurts the losing team even worse than the fact that they're probably getting out leveled.

Ye, and besides after 5 kills your team already has about 200 more solar than the other team anyway, isnt that enough?

LoL. Great idea. I love KS. I get them all the time, but yeah, it would kinda ruin...mmm...not ruin, but it would mess with the balance of the game. Lots agree that this is a team and skill based game, that makes it challenging and fun at the same time. Good idea, but doesn't fit well in this game.

Yeah, this idea is silly, sorry, but I don't ever want to see this in my AwesomeNauts.
