Instead of nerf a unit that does not require nerfing because patch notes "said so"
Far more reasons have been given than that
The team game one is the biggest in my opinion. Areceived damage aura is way too strong for it be shared amongst teammates. This nerf doesn't touch it in 1v1. That said i think the unit should be buffed and the aura removed
And haven't you yourselff advocated for removing always active auras and reworking them in the past? Replacing them with command abilities similar to the style of commissar? I got that idea from someone else, thought it was you tbh
Edit: nvm i think it was thedarkarmadillo talking about sturm officer that i got it from
Does it buff infantry or just tanks?
I don't get how it encourages blobbing?
It buffs both. Which would answer your second question
