Currently YapYap has a unit drop on leader point 2. Unit drops before leader point 3 are greatly imbalanced, especially when they are of this size. I would recommend switching grunts from above to point 3, moving the shade turret to 4th point, and moving guilt trip to point 2. Otherwise we will be having everyone and their mother dropping this leader power on the enemy base at 2 minutes.
Let us wait until YapYap’s release before we start posting about YapYap being OP. People will probably find counters in due time.
I hope they have the hot patch team on stand by in case any exploits or incredibly unbalanced match ups occur.

I think 1 week or under is a fair time window for the developers to hotfix a major issue.
As I predicted people are saying grunts are OP. Enough said.

This drops more than just Grunts. It drops Heavy Grunts, Brute Riders, and a Methane Wagon. I’m not going to go as far to say this ability will ruin the season. But I have my concerns about this ability, just like Metaloid. A unit drop, at the 2:00 minute mark of this size, is very strong.

It’s really all that?
That does seem like a lot for an early drop.

Yessir. I think it’s two Heavy Grunts, one Brute Rider, and one Methane Wagon. I’m not 100% positive, though.
Can I get a link? I didn’t know they released new info on this leader.
Couldn’t you mix that with his mine and get 2 veteran 1 units as well and pretty much have an army?

If it drops all of that Id imagine is costs a ton to get, so that could help balance since youll take an economy hit, and at 2 minutes, that can really set you back a ton. Also, just let him drop first before speculating it ruining the season lol thats a little aggressive dont you think?
Don’t forget the 45 seconds of invulnerability at Tier 2. I think things will be okay, but I agree with UnheardCARNAGE. Keep that hotfix team on standby.

It’s not hard to have the economy to purchase this drop before the 3:00 minute mark. I believe it costed 600 blue, but I could be wrong.
Also, not once did I state this Leader will ruin the game. I have concerns, yes, but never hace I said he’ll be game breaking. You gotta read, my dude.
Also x2, Metaloid is currently one of the top players at the moment. I agree it’s too soon to say anything for 100% certainty. But, I respect his opinion, and I believe he brings up valid points.
Im sorry that you disagree, but that’s just your opinion :).

I think you’re misremembering that ability. It’s only 15s long, and it affects all players.
It also doesn’t provide invulnerability, it prevents any new attacks from taking place. Shots & abilities that have already been fired still deal their damage.

I was more talking about metaloid’s title of the post, i have my concerns but it does no good in saying itll be too good because we just dont have it in our hands yet. I have my opinions too and sure freedom of speech and all of that, but a lot of it leads to arguments that have little to no info to reinforce either side besides people guesstimating. I just don’t see a reason to get mad at people for an factless argument. That’s also just my opinion

For starters lotus mines are good at cheesing clumps of infantry and it’s cd is relatively low

Theres no doubt to me that the drop will have 0 consequences if dropped early game. the grunts are free and theres gonna be a supply curve change.

I guess we will just have to wait and see because again, you dont know how the new grunts function

This, even if it is expensive you can still crush the enemy pretty early.
The drop gives you one brute rider one heavy grunt and one wagon the wagon does like no damage and the other two can be killed off by snipers or flamers easily.
