This patch is really SHAKING UP THE META | Mechabellum

[@ZergBuddy]

Now we need a redeployment specialist to counter the missile specialist 😄

[@ArcaneAzmadi]

The Missile Specialist is going to make the upgrade that reduces the CD of skills by 1 really OP.

When you said "Loose Formation on the sledgies" did you mean damage sharing?

[@kakregax]

2 missile strikes feels a little excessive, maybe one at round 2 one at round 3. Either way the shake up to the positioning meta and stormcaller abuse is gonna be a good thing I agree

[@SvenThielen]

it's really strong against stormcaller comps and aerial spec as Stoney mentioned. But like you said, it's far better to use one each round and use another power when both on cooldown. Unless you're far behind and need a tempo switch to try and get levels on critical units (balls, sledges, spiders)

[@SvenThielen]

You have to revisit your analysis. Few misconceptions. Replicate is an ability you ALWAYS take the same round as drill to win the fight with as many crawlers left as possible. They've made drill cheaper and mech rage cheaper making it far easier to win a surprise round with that combo. I've seen many games today were crawlers ended with those 3 techs. Then you can either give up on your chaff and add fire or waste resources to try and catch up on the tech. Replicate on worm is really not that great, when you are past round 5, those larva get oneshot anyway and all other worm tech is better. Sandstorm, AA and Mech rage are far more efficient on high level worms (lvl one are kinda useless past round 3). The nerf tackles high level worms because with the tech mentioned, they one shot even overlords, take nearly no damage and assist your army a ton. If you combine a nanobot or absorption module, your worm can't die anymore except if it stays long above ground and gets chain emp'd

[@ZergBuddy]

Your mmr?

[@Santisima_Trinidad]

Thats a lot of resources to invest into a unit which can be hard countered by a vulcan. Fair enough if replicate plus mech rage lets you win a round super hard, but against anyone competent they won't be vulnerable enough to replicate to make the double or even triple tech investment worth it over just the replicate. As for worms, you severely underestimate the value level 1 worms with replicate get against single target stuff like marksmen. The little worms clear chaff whilst tanking for the big worm, so even at level 1 with replicate they'll be a really scary chaff type blob to rip apart crawler and tank lines whislt the reat of your units sit pretty. And mech division is mech divison, extra stuff on the board is never bad.

[@Mortis_XII]

Wonderful patch. The new specialist is my absolute favorite

[@der_balrog1383]

The only time I tried missile operator thus far the game trolled me by giving the shield card in round 2 AND round 3 😂

[@HolgFromHell]

Haha, Same for me. Just Bad luck?
