the are way to over powered and need to be nerfed or have a limit on them
You are certainly not the first to complain about them.
Their power are where they are supposed to be. Sentinel’s are powerful. The issue is Anders ability to push them out in mass very early on in the game. Usually before someone can actually get Anti-Air out. The cost of Protector Sentinels needs to be higher, and their build time slower
Sentinels are Locust with wings and Speed hack
They wouldn’t be bad if they didn’t wipe bases so quickly. I’d propose a 50% damage decrease to their siege.
They definitely need a speed nerf and damage nerf. It’s not even funny how fast they can out maneuver wolverines. If you try to position them around to counter they get picked off. If you mass wolverines, his teammate masses Cyclops and gains map control because your base slots get taken out by the super fast massed sentinels. You fall behind in resources. /game
I hate sentinels
So long as the Uber Unit isn’t touched. It’s supposed to be Uber.
I mean there fast cheap strong have shields they kills everything no problem seems a little to much
I agree, reavers are the only unit the Banished got that can effectly fight off an early sentinel rush but because reavers are so costly, slow and take up 5 units per, even if I can produce 3 reavers early on they’ll still be no match against 10 fast and overpowered sentinels.

I’ve never thought about it like that. Pretty accurate actually.
Marines/grunts are a pretty good counter. Also if you turtle effectively (keep your infantry army at your base/bases) then it can be countered
Hey I’m sure you guys all saw the patch notes that were posted 2 days after this thread was made but 343 is nerfing Ander’s sentinels in the upcoming patch. They are addressing pretty much what we are all (righteously) complaining about. They are reducing the speed and overall DPS of the sentinels and, furthermore, fixing some kind of incorrect modifier that caused them to do huge damage to buildings. Wolverines and reavers should have an easier time with them and banshees (especially w/ plasma torpedo) and hornets will probably be more effective too due to the decreased speed. Even marines and grunts, the latter of which is also getting buffed in this patch, should be a reliable-ish counter to them.
For all you Anderses out there, take advantage of the few days you have left before your precious sentinels becomes not as OP.

(à la Gollum) Filthy tricksy Anderses!
Nerfing sents would destroy Anders as a leader. Anti air units need a damage buff and speed buff.
