Has the strenth of feedback been tested in beta? Did they manage to win any games?

During the early beta, scrambled units retained all their HP - which made Feedback immensely powerful, especially against Adorables. When you played against Feedback you had to constantly apply pressure to keep the Feedback player from ever spawning a Scrambler - as soon as one was on the field, the clock was ticking until your defeat because each turn, one of your units switched sides and since it didn't have to be healed it formed a nice wall for the Scrambler to survive the turn and keep on doing what he loves most.

Forming a wall of Heavies to defend your base? Maybe even buffing them to 5 HP? Well guess what, I just scramble one of your Heavies and now this 5 HP rock-of-a-unit is banging on your base. You can't prevent the first 3 points of damage to your base. Now you're in a dilemma: if you expend your Wits to destroy the 5 HP Heavy, the Scrambler will just turn another unit and finish your base. If you destroy the Scrambler, the Heavy will still destroy your base. The only way to get out of this situation is to inflict 7 points of damage to 2 units which may very well be not that open to attack depending on the map and unit placement.

This was too strong and therefore scrambled units are now reduced to 1 HP.
