@arran i dont have much time currently and not really intrested in deep research of other units unless i'll see some really bad stats like vulthoo buildtime, i am not a balance team member after all

(coding veto system rn)

@zeldafanboy said in Epic 0 damage Jesters:

Why do Jesters have AOE it’s a beam weapon lol

it's was added to decrease jester shots miss count... ironic

now range of damage will be incresed from 0.15 to 0.4
fast targets (scouts, labs, blazes) still can evade in some conditions, but overall that's ok

@etfreeman you need to hold-fire them manually after launching anyway. While TML1 might fire a missile 1 at target A, but the target is not destroyed before it can fire again so missile 2 is also launched at target A, etc. Same for other TMLs and other targets.

So instead of waiting for launch to hold fire, you now press shift-G again if there is no launch. Time is only wasted when the bug occurs, not pre-emptively.

But I definitely agree it would be good if it is fixed, but they apparently have limited manpower to fix things.

100% agree with this need seperate ladder for map sizes

sometimes i dont want to sweat for 30-40 minutes on a 20x20 and just fancy a quick game for 10-15 mins

but you dont need a seperate rating system for each map size just an average rating over all, so if your really good at 5x5 but hate 20x20 it should even itself out and incentivize mixing it up a bit

Coolio will work on it

@ETFreeman What you are saying is how can I defeat my guncom opponent without upgrading my own com? Units only?

This is kind of a silly decision, but it is however possible. The real logic table for bread and butter play is gun com and prevent turtle, or turtle and prevent pushes from your opponent and beat them into t2 arty creep. If you are ruling out these two very very very standard options, you will need to simply outnumber them

The build you need calls for mass factory drop and t1 tank/ arty spam. You will also need to essentially feign defeat when he comes in with his gun com and let him move forward some, then having built up numbers from your large number of t1 factories, run him over with your units and just keep your com out of it, or mopping up some back units (its severely outranged).

T2 units die to quick to oc so just use numbers of t1 and a bit of surprise to catch him off guard. Again I emphasize the need to let him "win" some and lose only a few units while getting him charging recklessly forward, then go in for the kill.

No guarantee you'll polish off the com here, but you can beat that timing just by backing up just a bit and swarming.

Really though, use the main two options the most. They have higher success rates.

You can't stack nano and t2 on sera com if you want to go splash in 5 minutes (the true rambo com upgrade), therefore the upgrade stacking argument is invalid (splash needs buffing as you have to have already won for it to do anything in team games).

idk where i should report bad rating change atm. but im gonna post here.
