Turtling Discussion

[ArtNJ]

I may be moving away from the Scrambler. If you cant prevent the turtling from reaching a certain point, the Scrambler just isnt enough to win, particularly if its a Feedback v Feedback match when you need to fear hidden Scramblers yourself.

Bombshells and Mobi's are generally better at preventing turtling. The Scrambler is fantastic at killing non-feedback turtlers on Sharkfood and perhaps other smallish maps, but on larger maps (Peekaboo!) I think it can be defended against by turtlers. As long as soldiers/runners are in front of the heavies (or other soldiers) the scrambler just isnt cost effective.

I have come to believe that Peekaboo is a good reason to prefer Bombshell or Mobi to Scrambler. Peekaboo is also a possible illustration of a problem with the game (crazy long defensive battles), but I need a few more matches after switching to another faction which may cure my neg view of the map.

Edit: I meant Sweetie Plains, sorry! The big adorables map.
