Watch the tournament. 1 fabricator building laser defense towers is worth more than an entire basic army. Everyone uses gunships and vanguards. There is no unit diversity or use of basic units. Can we get a balance change?
I'm pretty sure this particular horse has been atomized by the amount of beating it's received... Sorry if I come off as a bit of a **** here, but yes, it's an issue. Yes, it's been a while since we got a balance patch. No, it does not help the issue to mention it AGAIN.
Actually, I'd like this to be pounded into the forum please. Balance isn't too hot right now in my opinion. So let's change it. ASAP.
Exactly. I haven't been playing much lately because the "Have more peregrines than your opponent" current gameplay balance is super boring.
T1 balance is alright (except for laser defense), but T2 balance is okay is some places and terrible in others. Peregrines are better than using flak turrets, Vanguards need to be taken down a notch, and bombers need a buff.
t2 air is mostly fine by now, spamming t1 aa bots actually works okay to give ground based aa support. What needs work is economy balance and t1 usability. The latest stream shows that Uber is working on just that. The shown concepts might not be what we had in mind, but the overall goal is the right one, so it is okay. If they fail they can just patch more after all.
Peregrines cost twice as much as a hummingbird, but almost 19 times the DPS (plus AOE), 7 times the health, and greater range than the hummingbird. That is NOT fine. T2 Air is still way broken.
well yeah, sure t1 fighters might as well be removed from the game, but it is already far far far better then a few patches ago where everyone was going t2 air at minute 5 or earlier. t2 is required, just like t3 air is in FA. Personally I never had an issue with that.
Needing air to support your land is fine. Needing T2 air specifically, not T1 air that is pointless in comparison, is not fine.
That's the exact same issue we see on ground as well. T2 units are just >>> t1 units and since the eco balance makes it easy to tech up quick nobody really uses t1.
