It's unsporting to complain about the way an opponent is playing during a match. I'm not surprised you're getting a negative response. |
It's very easy mechanically to decrew your own ST during it's reload phase to call in as many as you want. Just fire it and reload, then tell something to attack ground it.
Would doing this ever be a good idea? It's not free (you lose vet and need to recrew it), and I'm not sure multiple STs is really something you want.
What do you think? For 2v2? For 1v1?
I had this idea that you could go 2v2, make 3 of them (would cost 480 fuel, doable if you didn't tech, maybe?) and then have your partner make a JP4 so you don't just get picked off by jacksons. The 3 STs would move in a formation so that they could cover each other after firing.
The map would be Trois Pons or some shit like that. |
This thread really isn't the place to discuss Katitof's merits, or if he deserved a ban. This thread was just a gag, not a place to flame someone who isn't here to defend themselves. Australian, I realize you aren't flaming him, but any discussion along the lines of "should he have been banned" will invite attacks on his corpse... |
Abilities that are regularly used aren't exactly edge cases ... |
If the rest of the commanders abilities didn't "suck" or where more "meta"...
I'd argue that if a unit isn't being used much, it's a bad idea to start nerfing it.
I think adjustments are fine but this thread to me seems like "I hate the design of this unit, please make it as extinct as possible."
Also, HEAT rounds are pretty good, aren't they? |
But if you keep your units farther apart, stay mobile, and scout a little, the ST becomes meh. Yeah if someone is blobbing tanks then it's a hero, but the answer is to stop keeping tanks in stationary blobs. Again, what I would like to see is some examples of this unit being used effectively in a tournament setting |
Given the reload on these units, if they don't have absurd wipe potential, Wouldn't they suck? AFAIK the ST/AVRE don't get a lot of competitive use as it is; it's not like we are suffering through a Sturmtiger versus AVRE meta right now. I'm theory yeah it is a BS unit, but if it were really imbalanced, why is it not more popular?
I think that if we need to take away the wipe potential then it needs a shorter reload, reload while moving, and no more abandon while hit during reload. Something that (realistically) will fire once every 3-4 minutes can't just bleed, it needs to annihilate. It's not like arty that can fire frequently and consistently from a safe position far away.
On the other hand, maybe I've missed it. Show me some high level games with AVRE and ST and I'll concede the point. |
Personally, I'm good now. I read this forum a lot and Katitof was literally 1/20 posts, maybe even closer to 1/10 in some sub forums. So whether you liked him or not, it's a huge change to the forum. |
Bans are irrelevant. Balance is fine. You will change your avatar and be assimilated into the collective. |
I would just like to say I was the first convert, and the rest of you are posers. That is all.
I took a look at your forum profile. Total strategy forum hero, barely any balance forum posts, which is the only competitive forum. Almost no reported posts. Not even 1300 posts.
But go ahead and wow us with your amazing forum skills |
