One of the rare games vs solid SM that I could even fight in when it got to the late game. The more I play the more i feel that SM is simply over designed and stacked with faction mechanics that carry players.
Drop pods doing damage and knock back, providing shields and separate build ques all the while enabling a near instant tide turner....
Banner with 450!!!! Shields in tier1 , and full army heals in tier 3...
He's really an awesome player ( you are too ofc ), he was literally taking a lot of risky situations with low-hp squads and low-hp heroees and turned them into his favor many times. And he succeeded all along T1 - T2 (due to good micro and game-knowledge, I wouldnt blame balance here, HE could have lost easily in a parallel universe )
Then he somehow messed up building unneeded lascannons (WTF?) all the way - and then he went for the annihiltor pred which was an akward decision as well (WTF?)
to your claims:
-due to drop-pods you have an better build cuecue - that's true! On the other hand, what hinders you building another warrior portal, 200 req , pffff, if you unlocked units like shadow spectres or rangers , theyre accessible in all warrior portal so no need to unlock again.
Waagh and drop-pods are they key-mechanics to bring action. it adds speed, dynamics and promotes fighting instead of stall camping games.
- and for sure, the T3 heal is really kkinda Overpowered: The heal basicly sustains staying power in critical situations and you can barely fight them. It replenishs a broken army way too fast (and vehicles as well! WTF!, should be infantry only)
tl/dr: yes, T3 banner heal OP drop-pods are more or less ok, regarding game-dynamics.
btw u think Kyre is fine in his current state?
still watching , GG
WUB WP !

Dude are you for real ? Do you really suggest to counter those op drop pots with another warrior portal ?! The reason why they are so broken is because #1 they deal tons of damage and #2 they teleport your units to the battle field instantly (other factions have to walk) and #3 huge knockback AOE.

I agree that without drop pots the game becomes boring and less dynamic but their damage should be removed and cooldown increased.
sangetsu, no, I meant drop-pods are a mechanic, referring to production queque here, so a 2nd warrior portal is good. and you can relocate, use it quickkly offensively
