Yap Yap, unbelievably ridiculous. How the developers of this OP character went through validation is beyond me. I watched today as 5 of my level 2 hornets lost to a group of about 10 cannon fodder. How the F does a free unit have that much health and do that much damage. These little pieces of sh$t should die almost instantly. And at the start of the game, I had snipers, marines, the ice cream truck, and cryotroopers and could not kill an army of them. The A hole I was playing just kept pumping them out from main base and mini base and sending them in to protect his base. Eventually he got to tech 2 because zero resource free troops allow you to tech up faster than those who build real units. Then he proceeded to put 4 shield generators on his base. Absolutely amazing. And rest of the game just build hunters, elites, and stupid cannon fodder. And elites, wow, didn’t know they were diesel at shooting air. My snipers can’t but elites can, makes sense.
Let’s see if the next patch these genius developers fix this ridiculously stupid character. I’m sure won’t even get touched yet all the other leaders will be nerfed into the toilet. Great job 343, another broke leader.

I watched as I yelled at my teammate what I was witnessing. Even early game, 1 marine should be able to kill 3 or 4 cannon fodder. Free units should not kill 150 resource marines. If there were 20 vs 3 marines I can understand that. But the amount of resources needed to kill cannon fodder is absurd.
I’m 100% unless the Cannon Fodder were like 6/7 tier ten wouldn’t beat five tier two Hornets, also a Marine does beat 3-4 Cannon Fodder unless the Marine isn’t upgraded and the Cannon Fodder are. YapYap isn’t terribly unbalanced, only slightly, no one is currently extremely OP, in my opinion.

That…none of that is physically possible. Are you sure you didn’t confuse Heavy Grunts with Cannon Fodder, or didn’t see him use any leader powers on your troops?

Favorite Infantry unit. Hard to believe these Grunts can stand up to Marines. They’re slightly weaker but still. And they have Forerunner Tech that’s the best part for me.
The best counter to cannon fodder is to not target them. Golden rule is to never ever target heros or cannon fodder during any large battle. Ignore them.
That’s why hunter captains taunt is so dangerous cause it forces the opponent to waste all their resources on an easily replaceable unit. Same goes for cannon fodder. You are targeting them when the actual threats are taking out your army.
Also, there is no way 10 cannon fodder beats 5 hornets. I doubt they would kill 1-2 hornets.

First, snipers are anti-infantry only, it’s pretty obvious that they can’t hit air and second elite rangers are trash at battling air. But that’s not what I’m here for. I myself am no pro, far from it, but I do know that yap yap isn’t OP. He’s not the perfect strategy, I’ve tried to use him but I just haven’t found any success with him myself, I’m not able to micro all too well, but I have gone against some yap yaps and have found tremendous success. Number one if you have two turrets and your leader then thats usually enough to discourage them from trying to kill your base and even if they go through with it then they’ll most likely die and that’s not including leader powers. Second not every build order has the budget for two turrets and I get this, but usually in these build orders unless you’re turtling you will be building either an army or some kind of rush set up, don’t hate on me but I like rushing in this game. Jerome and kinsano are usually the one’s I choose, Jerome I choose because you can’t go wrong with choosing Jerome, but I have started rushing with Kinsano because if you combine marines, hell bringers, and your hero you will rinse any yap yap rush or any infantry rush. That’s the whole reason I started running kinsano, to deal with yap yap. If you don’t like UNSC leaders then play with any banished leader and just tech up as fast as possible and train 3 or 4 rangers. 3 is usually the amount you need to stop a yap yap rush and if you want to be safe then build 4. Yap yap isn’t broken and there are many counters, and besides give 343 some credit. Halo 5 was a mess but they have done AMAZING things with halo wars 2, bringing back the old art style, adding in new features while still making them all balanced(except for forge’s anvil round that took a long time to fix but at least they did fix it), and though this is MY opinion I enjoy the blitz system.

The game is unbalanced, all covenant leaders will outgun literally any UNSC leader, look at how OP the Locusts are, it’s a joke. The devs really royally -Yoinked!- the pooch on this one, been out this long and unless you use Colony, you’re most likely going to lose in 15-20 minutes.
