AEONS are GARBAGE!
-
Percies are slower than chickens and same speed as GCs let alone t3 units. They have zero agency in choosing fights and are horrible at combat because of it. The best usage of percies is keeping anything away from your actual damage dealers, which for UEF is often just spearheads.
HP is overstated, percies have 5.62 hp per mass, harbs have 5.47.
DPS is just wrong with .26 dps per mass for percies and .38 dps per mass for harbs. (Spearhead is .6 btw)
Range is the only real thing there isn’t an answer for, and that’s what GC exists for. If percies are forced to move into harbs, they lose the engagement when both are in range of each other.
It’s way more controversial of a take to consider percy better than harb, percy is a unit that needs buffs even.

Percies are 2.2 speed, while chicken/GC are 2.5/2.4 speed respectively. You're thinking of bricks with 2.4 speed. The rest of what you said with them being unable to start fights is correct though.

I thought they got buffed last patch to be 2.4 like GC so I edited it. I just manifested by own proposal to buff them I think. So sad.
-
Also I'd like to mention that Aeon gets another anti-Percival unit in their double range double shield ACU long before a GC can be built, so it's not like Harbs are even bad on one-lane maps where in theory Percivals always kite and win. Harbs are great for keeping Percies off your ACU in that situation because the Percies have to try to swarm your ACU to kill it instead of dying one by one but that requires moving forward into Harbs/shields.
-
Aeon is just boring to play tbh, even if they are balanced or the strongest.
-
Seems like this type of complaint all stems from what I believe makes FAF so great, the fact that certain things are only possible for higher skilled players meaning the skill gap actually means something.
Just because I'm garbage at using aeon doesn't mean aeon is garbage.

@Dorset I have 12000 games.... i think i have hability to play with every faction.
But, his weakeness are giant in dozen times.I cant consider a good faction just in case after t4.
Thats the reason i consider some buffs in PDT2 like AOE, velocity of some of his units.
Buffs on build rate acu. -
12000 games doesnt mean anything. there are 0 rated with 8k games and cant play any faction at any stage.
Rating matters. and youre 1400. so you didnt even got the fundamentals of the game...so no. i dont think that youre capable of playing "every faction" -
@Seraphim-Noob Despite being unnecessarily rude in your comment and displaying such arrogance, you simply keep ignoring the main points I raised.

With all due respect Aya, Sera wasn't being rude or arrogant he was being straightforward. He's right. Ranking is what matters. You can't say that because you have 12,000 games you can play every faction as good as a 2K rated player. They understand things and are capable of doing things that we can't at level 1400. Rating is what matters. I have 5,000 games which is like twice as much as many of the 2ks I play with but I am a fraction of the player they are.
Reading the deep insights that FTX (and others) outlined in this post basically answered all of your points, you're just not wanting to accept them.
