Have we now established that you should not start hovers here?

I mean, people keep trying to start hover here and I think it generally shouldn't work. Is this game the nail in the coffin for the hover-start theory?

never!

How does a game with less than 20% win chance for one team prove anything? This is the kind of skill difference where people would start comnapping..

In Godde's hands ship seem to outperform hovers, but against players other than him I've had much more success playing hovers than ships. Personally I prefer to start with 5-15 daggers and only use claymore once the ship player transitions to heavier units.
