    You're still assuming that he's supposed to be on the front lines – he's not.

    The Commander is not supposed to be on the front lines. He is intended to be a liability. Uber has used the word "liability" over and over.

    The only reason he has a powerful gun is to protect against early rushes – not so he can be leading the charge.

    I didn't say front lines. Not anywhere ever. It simply doesn't make sense for something like the commander to have the structural integrity of a crêpe. That's all.

    Except he doesn't...

    He has a ton of health and the most powerful gun in the game.

    Yes, and it shouldn't be changed.

    One person suggested it. Whoopdeedoo.

    Everyone is not with that, and neither is the devs. You don't need to campaign for not making the commander weakening because it doesn't look like that is happening.

    I'm not making a campaign, I'm making my usual humorous remarks.
