I couldn't care less, if it works then use it; that's how it's been since the start anyways. Besides, not like any amount of pleading/complaining is going to help anyways, Tvinita already said vanilla balance is final (we don't need any more "balance" mods).
Invalid Poll. Extremes are irrelevant and subjective. What is important is 'WHY' could it be bad, where does it bring detriment to the game. 'Yes' it's bad.... when? Why? 'No' it's not.... elaborate? Imo this isn't an issue of 'balance'.
As I said in other thread it's bad as it speeds up early game, removing the t1 stage almost entirely. It reduces viable opening builds to essentially one and prevents the com being used as anything but a builder. I refuse to use the tactic, as a result I can't remember when I last won a game. For someone who held a top 20 ladder position for a long time in both classic and Titans, that suggests the tactic is rather strong. I cannot find a viable, non com reclaim counter. If a better player than me can show me a viable, repeatable counter build (that doesn't require com reclaim) then I'll gladly withdraw all objections.
