I would like to try the regenerating idea though with thorns going back to 2 hp at the beginning of each veggie player's turn.

As for adorables, xixon, sniper moves aren't a problem at all. You can predict and attempt to defend appropriately against mobi sniper attacks. Hit and run on the other hand is a huge balance concern. Even if you know it's a possibility, unlike mobi sniper attacks, you often cannot prevent hit and run without giving up massive ground (and even then only delaying it for a turn). Hit and run is wit neutral if done correctly and gives the adorables player a unit advantage. In other words, that aspect of the adorables is broken while mobi sniper attacks are not.

I'm honestly getting sick of this discussion. Maybe at the very upper levels of play it has some balance issues. But sorry it's preventing scally from turtle the hell out of everyone? Scally turtles with a wall of bombshells are probably the most annoying this in the game. Particularly on maps like peekaboo.

Additionally, spawning a mobi would technically put you behind in the unit count anyways.

Peekaboo is shit map to play against scallywags.
If your on a big map, and your opponent spawns a bs, just attack from somewhere else.
The smaller maps require more strategy

I understand that, and I am fine with that. What I don't get, is why when I say scally is OP on X Y and Z map, the response is "the smaller maps require more strategy", but then everyone complains about mobi users USING STRATEGY to beat scallys. Then the response is "well mobi is OP so it needs to be nerfed". Its a joke. Scally users may have to learn strategy against mobi players. Maybe some of you are only ranked so high because you turtle, which doesn't require much "strategy".

That's funny. Firstly, gametaker and I are both FEEDBACK users so trying to playoff our comments as defensive scallywag players is just wrong. Secondly, adorables get the biggest advantage from turtling now, not scallywags. That's not just my opinion, I believe it was terenceshiu or garcia who made that statement. Another high level player also stated that adorables are like zerg. If you let them sit back and macro (or in outwitters, turtle), they get a huge advantage. Scallywags were the big turtlers prepatch and it was a problem. Now though mobi turtles are worse.

As feedback players we can be more neutral in this discussion. Are you an adorables player? Sure sounds like it.

Also I meant to say, I don't quite agree with gametaker's blanket statement that small maps are more strategic. It's more dependent on the particular features of the maps than just the size.
