Bramble v3

While I initially suggested the same thing (that removing thorns gave feedback a (relative) boost in matchups) I'm actually doubting that now.

I essentially never get one of my units scrambled by surprise and I think that only becomes more true as skill improves (I play on the edge of gifted/masters 1v1 right now).

The ability to retract thorns (for free!) means that it's very easy to deny scramblers the ability to scramble them. Much like it's tough to scramble a mobi.

Paired with the fact that scrambled thorns start with 1 health and bramble thorns can do 1 damage I imagine the scenarios where thorns can usefully be scrambled to be quite few once players get even a little 'hip' to bramble strategies...

Of course, you can always use a medic on the thorns. But front or mid line medics are generally a no-go against bramble. I actually think feedback is currently much worse off, relative to other teams, due to this new upgrade. (Especially taking into account that scramblers low health makes them very vulnerable to wit positive thorn kills.)
