moderators (unit) are bad

moderator edit: excessive profanity removed

please tell me i'm not the only person that agrees that moderators need a serious buff. despite costing 240 to make, they have only 480 hp and only do 680 damage per shot (slow damage is fine). they either need


1. increased hp (600-800)
2. hp regen (10 hp/s)

3. increased range (600 elmos. 420 is extremely small, making it vulnerable to most skirmisher, assault, and support units)
4. decreased cost (240 for a unit that dies almost instantly in a battle is horrible. 150)

I was doing really well in a game vs esainane until he demonstrated what good moderator + placeholder micro can do and set me back home with my ass in a sling, a chocolate cookie and a pat on the head. Moderator is just fine. The problem is with the operator ;)

>> Idk those moderators are my worst nightmare. I rarely play properly and prefer to troll all year around, but they have insane kite potential, hit-and-run strategy - they run to you and give u a banana.
^_^

Nice let's make moderator most overpowered unit in the game

So true, @_Shaman! :P

please learn how to use units before you say they are bad. Jumpbots would never be used if they didn't have moderators, they are literally good against just about every unit. They are also my worst nightmare, like shaman said decent accuracy that murders every unit in range and are so fast they can kite most units.

> Jumpbots would never be used if they didn't have moderators

Plain lies. Jacks are extremely good against porc, juugglenaut crushes almost everything lightweight and is a best counter to crabs, pyros and toads are more than good for their roles also. Jumpbots are good even without moderators.

I would even say that Jugglenaut solely are good reason enought to switchfac for jumpbots, given right place and time. Juggle can boost your metal income considerably in right cicrumstance by using pulling gravity, so that wrecks of enemy come into reach for your caretakers.

That moderator edit is so ironic
