I completely agree with the small note that much of what is taken away got introduced with the wit for kill mechanic. Their power will be more in line with before the update.

Others also question the logic of adjusting other races when the biggest problem are veggies. Also a fair complaint, if it was possible to fix veggies we can probably live with that feedback won't be possible to use if you want reach the absolute top in the rankings. But it is a big if, if its possible to fix veggies. To beat a good scallywags player you will need to kill bombshells, and I don't see how you will be able to do that from any buffs suggested to bramblers.

Finally to illustrate the problem (maybe I'm ruining a couple of games by writing this, but information wants to be free right?).
Autowin against feedback on Peekaboo:
* Get a boosted bombshell mid touching you base.
* Mass boosted soldiers and defend the bombshell.
* When you get enough wits get another bombshell and put it slightly more offense, just a tile or two.
* Never ever move a deployed bombshell, just create new one and put them further and further ahead.

Autowin on Glitch against feedback:
Having a bombshell in the middle is good but not the true OP position. That is the pocket touching your base 2 tiles from the spawn point. Put a bombshell there, mass boosted soldiers, never move deployed bombshell, just create new ones creeping further and further ahead.

Also, this is a very strong strategy on most maps with some changes. On Long Nine for example you need to scout to make sure your first bombshell goes down on the side the opponent invested most wits

Exactly...so the solution is nerfing adorables which will kill offense on a lot of maps and allow scallys to turtle people to death? I really don't get how scallys are complaining about mobi being op. Maybe they are just not realizing that they are overrated and need to play better?
