More Bombshell Trouble

[Szei]

I think it would be wise to try the "overpowered" team before calling it "overpowered". If Scallywags are really so unbeatable, prove it =P

(I know mag1cguy already said he was going to play Scallywags, so this comment is not directed towards him, but rather, to anyone else who claims Scallywags are that strong without even trying it themselves)

I felt Scallywags weren't too strong way back before the +1 wit change, but I didn't blindly defend them. Rather, I switched to Feedback so I could see why people were complaining. After that I learned a lot regarding the difficulty Feedback faced against Scallywags. More recently (though still around 4 or 5 months ago), I felt that Adorables were overpowered. I didn't go around asking for them to be nerfed though. Instead I switched to them (actually I made a new account) and played them up to ST to help me better understand and decide whether I really felt they were too strong. As it so happens, unlike with my switch from S to F where my opinion changed and I became less sure that S wasn't too strong, my switch from F/S to A has strengthened my opinion that A is extremely powerful and perhaps overpowered. If you've seen my other posts you'll know that I still hesitate to call any of the teams overpowered, but the point is, try the team you think is overpowered before you reach a verdict. And by try I don't mean play 1 game with them. If they are really that good (or "unbeatable") see how high you can raise your rank with the team you perceive as being too strong =)

No one would use it. Even assuming that the bombshell is overpowered now, either of those changes would make it completely useless (at least against Adorables).

Quote:Here, because I forgot to advance my snipe turn 7, he could put a bs in the center. That turn itself made my loss, because a set BS in that kind of configuration is unbeatable. I did make mistakes, but I was forced to, because I had NO space where to put units without having them splashee. Same happened against terence, which explains my rank decrease this week. Yes he is also stronger than me, but in one of our current game I managed to put an early bombshell at the center and now I have the map control and he can't do anything against it. No one can disagree with this, something has to be done.

Well, if you forgot to do something that allowed your opponent to set up a strong position, should you blame it on team balance? You also quickly lose your scrambler without it doing anything (though you were already in a bad spot by that point so maybe it didn't matter). Anyway, I don't think this replay really shows anything. Your 100+ turn game with His_Daddy seems more concerning than this one (though I only skimmed through the His_Daddy game briefly, all those bombshells looks like a pain).
