Just went up against KingOfReason doing a mantis/jackrabbit rush, he says its OP and i should complain on waypoint about it so here i am. Ill agree with him it definitely felt like the Kinsano jackrabbit rushes of the old days but i dont really have that much experience going against it.
Yeah it’s pretty obvious, Time for Heroes is a hell of a buff. if it’s going to affect all unit types it should buff so much or so many attributes.

roflmaoooo at himtelling u to come complain about it
That guy is toxic to the community that is all. 
It’s true Jeromes time for heroes buff is insanely strong. He does need a nerf to it. Also found out hornets plus Jeromes mech can annihilate banshees with ease let alone anything. Early game marine spam with jerome mech closes out the game fast. I’ve never seen a bigger pay to win DLC in my life. 3 Jeromes in 3v3 might as well recycle your base if you can’t mirror match and micro. The mech needs to be in the tier 2 upgrades not the tier 1. He’s a cop out leader nothing more. I do enjoy playing as him but he is too Op.

Be that as it may, Jerome still needs some nerfing.

This is easily the best post of the day. I guess they banned him one too many times and he can’t complain about it himself.
I guess in a couple more days, we will see this strat become more popular, if it isn’t popular already.

LOL that would explain a lot, i was thinking “why not come complain yourself if you feel that strongly about it?”
I’ve yet to play against a good JR rush, after that I’ll see if I can add my opinion to the mix.
Don’t you like how Time for Heroes is basically Decimus’ ultimate (Boundless Fury) just second point instead of fifth? Actually, it’s better since Heroes gives you not just speed and damage but an armor buff too.
Before the patch came out I predicted Jerome rabbits would be busted because of Heroes. Everyone said it would still be the Banished meta.
Well. I won.
Jerome is busted, period.

Its pretty bad. ive had fun with this game but its starting to feel like i should invest my time in a more enjoyable experience. Its getting quite old waiting on one patch after another to fix known imbalance just for them to introduce new broken leaders and mechanics. Its a never ending cycle with this title. 343 simply does not have enough RTS experience to introduce so many elements so quickly and make it balanced. Starcraft would have been a lousy RTS if they used this same model of new monthly leaders and units with hard to balance spells and powers. This game feels more like a cash grab than a high quality RTS experience.

A question we also have to ask is how much is CA involved in the design/balance, because RTS games are all they make.
My suggestion for balancing:
Time for Heroes should be switched with either Spartan Morale or Mastadon. Jerome’s Command Mantis should be tech 2, switching with Improved Inspiration. This means he’s still viable as a hero unit and it will work well with Spartan Morale, should that be changed, still incentivizing you build Jerome, but not relying only on him.
That’s one idea. I know balancing is a lot trickier than “swap this for this!” but that’s all I got lol.

I wouldn’t mind this change, Spartan Morale would be really viable early game, and Time For Heroes would still be effective at that time.
3 Jeromes in 3v3 might as well recycle your base if you can’t mirror match and micro.
Atriox chosen with the stun upgrade destroys jeromes mantis. Decimus warlord with the “pull and stun” can beat him too. To be honest my team wins pretty much every game against triple jerome. I would still say he needs a small nerf though, although without his mech, he would probably need a buff.

Irrelevant nit-pick.
Don’t forget Alien: Isolation.
