How NOT to counter RAIDEN | Mechabellum

[@Cobaltz246]

AA wasps absolutely destory raidens in my exp with range and elite with shield

AA forts want to know your location

[@OhmIsFutile]

They probably would destroy the raidens, but opponent chose to go range first, didn't get elite, ignite, emp, or shield, didn't buy more... also yeah, AA forts. Also didn't go hacker or multi-melter or raiden themselves into medium units.

Wow it beats them with only 4 techs?

[@OhmIsFutile]

@ Yeah, I don't think you need 4 techs for them to be able to at least slow down a raiden play by not allowing them to level up as fast... though honestly, not even sure why they picked that drop. Wasps aren't great in this meta beyond 1 or 2 rounds of tempo when they don't have AA.

I have had good luck just getting 1-2 with range only and using it as a medium unit counter.... at 1600 MMR this baits players into going all-out raiden counter: mass shielded fangs, lot's of aa spec mm.... so I just focus on chaff/chaff war while they got lost in the weeds there. And I mobile beacon my only main raiden to avoid AA spec MM and after chaff war the raiden is able to take them on... Mainly this prevents them from going carry charged shot arc which is very common at that mmr as an aggro counter.
