I haven't been clear but I wasn't refereeing to the armor change but the price. Like many people already say in this thread, 444 and 666 are going to be meta at that price. For such a cheap price you are going to roam the battlefield with 2 or 3 222 with no fear of anything.
I'll not speak for UKF but as USF those changes combined together mean that you must invest yes or yes your early fuel to unlock zooks or must go lacklust T2 first to get an ATgun. That's the main issue with the USF gameplay design, USF lack of AT solution on the early game. Should the M1 ATG being tied to T0 after unlocking T1 or T2, I wouldn't care that much.
Now I'm not going crazy about it since changes are most likely going to evolve.
oh damnnnn, usf actually have to be the ones reacting for once and investing resources to counter OST strat, damn should always be the other way round right?
