Update 1.5 Balance Changes

" Someone " once said about programming AI,  " ...Just Prevent STUPID Stuff from happening & you're 90% there... "

Well...  I've seen a bit. of Stupid that needs looking into... 

Flame Pool of Inferno & Scarabs seemes to Not Only Be Shorter BUT Less Damaging...  had Scarabs survive walking through their Own Fire Pool 100% Unharmed & The Fire Pool of an Inferno FAILED to finish off a Widow Maker... The Persistent Fire Pools are JUST a decoration or very near to it... no matter how short The Fire lasts if it's harmless it's pointless... 

ALSO, 

The WORST is Units like Flame Tank AUTO Disconnecting from intended target,  such as matching all the way across the map focused on the enemy HQ only to fire on some other RANDOM Unit & NOT the HQ... 

It's one thing to fight the enemy,  but fighting your OWN Units is... " Stupid "

While you're looking into THAT,  also observe the POOR Unit Auto Targeting choice when multiple options are near... 

If I send a Unit near a Direct Counter Target,  it'd be NICE if my unit preferred to target it's Direct Enemy Counter Target rather than FOOLISHLY Attacking any unit that it can't really damage... 

I KNOW I can work around some of these deficiencies but every extra redundant command just makes the battles a bit more laborious and they really need to be especially when you're in a fast-paced battle and every command is crucial really just don't need to repeat my commands or give additional commands that should be obvious...

Every command that is interpreted correctly the first time yields an opportunity to take advantage of the vanity communications, which are incredibly fun to use 😂😂😂

@Artriedes How do you expect to win with that attitude? Apart from air units you can bring one down with two tanks or two zone troopers, even rockets/lasers last longer to get some shots off since damage vs infantry has already been toned down. The games where an Avatar spawns, kills your Harvester and then goes to burn the base down uncontested do not happen anymore (goes hand in hand with the Oxanna nerf). Also keep in mind the Avatar is super expensive and can’t attack air units.

What attitude are you talking about mate? Expressing my opinion about what I think should be nerfed in the game? I thought thats what this forum was for. And I've won plenty thank you very much. I didn't get to tib league multiple times without winning some matches. And I've never spent a single dollar on this game either.

The devs know what they are doing. They actually have stats that tell them which units are overperforming and overly popular and which arent. The Avatar has been dominating and getting picked more than other tech units in the nod side for a reason. The top players in the game have attested to that. It actually became the win condition at one point. So I have expressed my opinion on what should be done to fix it. Don't like it? Agree to disagree.

You insinuated that as soon as an Avatar hits the field one might as well give up. That simply is not true anymore based on my (and others in this thread) experience. It was that statement that didn’t sit well with me. Obviously you should always express your opinion, just like like I do.

The Avatar now has been nerfed three times, it was during the first two where people (including me) demanded a nerf.

Since Hammerheads and Phantoms can attack buildings with their anti-air rockets, I guess it makes sense that a Talon could do the same?
