I am tired of losing over and over again because of people spamming one over powered units, or using cheap cowardly tactics. There needs To be severe buffs for the banish, and nerfs for the UNSC units. I will speak of more in a little bit, but right now to prevent spammers These things need to be address ASAP!
- {Nerf the marines} The marines are way to powerful, and out class their Banish equivalent. Their health needs to be reduced as well as their damage, a whole army of those guys is unstoppable! They are suppose to be cheap and expendable not a unstoppable wall, when ever i fight a group of them with my grunt squads i always lose the fight and get destroyed. Even the eilte rangers can’t even kill them efficiently(We shall get to them next).Next to every person i play against spams them, and just charges, And there is nothing i can do to stop them.
2.{Buff Elite rangers} : Let us address the elephant in the room, The elite rangers suck. They have extremely low health, there damage is inept,and they can not be upgraded making them terrible at there job. They need to be given upgrades To make them practical in a fight, such as Shielding, longer range with a new weapon like a beam rifle, Increased movement speed so they can relocate quicker or get out of a fight quickly. The few elites in the game are all about speed, why not them as well. Also there damage and health needs to be increased, because right now you are better off getting Basically anything else to aid you in a fight. The little that they do is unnoticeable to a point that i forget i even have them. Also adding the fact that There carbine projectiles are extremely slow, most of the time they miss their target. They need hit scan(Or what ever it is called in RTS) weapons, The carbine it self is a hit scan weapon, why is it projectile based now?
3.{Buff the wraith, nerf the scorpion}: This is kind of a major jump from infantry to tanks but it needs to be addressed. While the wraith is not bad in damage it lacks in health and armour. I know the wraith has a shield, but That thing goes down almost immediately in a firefight, And once that happens it is basically dead at that point. The scorpion clearly out classes the wraith in both Strength and in how much damage it can put out in a second. Making a battle between the two predicable and unbalance. The wraith requires More armour, and it needs it weapons projectiles that it fires to move faster, because if you want to battle against anyone who uses scorpions(4 out of the 7 leaders right now) You are -Yoink- out of luck should have gotten hunters. Even they can get destroyed by the scorpion easily. Also nerf the scorpion take away a some of it’s health because people just by a whole bunch of those and attack, and you better hope that you were not one of the things that they flattened. It’s a cheap and scum baggy move that requires no skill.
4.{Buff the scarab}: now i will admit the scarab can be a unstoppable death machine, But when it is tasked with fighting another super unit the chances of it winning are low. With the introduction of the condor, and the Retriever sentinel the UNSC got there own super unit to help level out the playing field, But there are three problems with this. One They both fly, so some units can’t even attack them or do decent damage to them,While the scarab can take fire from everything that can attack. Two they can hit multiple targets at once, while the scarab has to focus on on unit a a time(With exception of its missiles on its back),And it does not have burst damage like it’s counterparts so killing a target is a long struggle while everything else shoots it. THREE, The scarab has to look at a target, do a little animation, charge up, and fire. While the other two simply look and shoot, hell the condor doesn’t have to look at you to kill you. How to fix this? Lose the little animation, it is cool and all but it leaves it open for some time before it starts doing it’s job. Make it fire immediately when it has spotted and is in range of an enemy, This will make sure it starts doing damage in a fight. Another issue is it needs to move with its target while it’s firing, so it not dancing around trying to shoot one guy. In addition it’s damage need a slight buff, because it takes to long to kill anything. On the opposite side of the spectrum the condor and Sentinel need there health to be reduced, there is no reason to have something that can fly and give it so much bloody health when most of your army can’t do anything to them.
