GoogleFrog 4 years ago Should Redback be a little worse and Hermit a little better to add it to the matchup (instead of just Flea, Redback, Recluse)? +0 / -0
Godde 4 years ago I think Hermit is sleeper OP. I feel we are currently in a period of buffing everything. What is holding Hermit back is the slow speed and dodge-able projectiles in low scale engagements. I think any buff to Hermit would put it in the territory of just being able to overrun anything if you are allowed to build up for a little while. +2 / -0
PRO_rANDY 4 years ago (edited 4 years ago) As it was Spider vs Spider we see Hermit at it's weakest. Against any other land factory, units wouldn't be able to kite it as well due to terrain and the slow Hermit would be able to corner units in to areas much easier. Hermit is also great for busting porc, but yet again with this map in Spider vs Spider, there isn't any real choke points that you're trying to bust through, but a longer more fluid front. Current Hermit has its place and uses, to buff it because of this specific game wouldn't be a good idea in my opinion and result in it being OP in other circumstances. Best to look at interactions on a wide range of maps/factory match-ups. +1 / -0
GoogleFrog 4 years ago (edited 4 years ago) I have thought that Hermit is sleeper OP for quite a while, but don't see it used across many matchups and situations. +0 / -0
Sigero 4 years ago just buff its projectile velocity and firerate a little and youll see it mow down everything short of striders +0 / -0
RyMarq 4 years ago Hermit cannot really be buffed to be anything but super hard-countered by recluse. Crab exists as a unit that can disrupt recluse and add a bit of texture to the matchup, but it can only just do it. The only unit I feel can be changed to add to the matchup is venom, by increase speed or health, though I already feel its quite powerful in other matches. +0 / -0
dyth68 4 years ago That was indeed a good game to watch. +1 / -0
Godde 4 years ago (edited 4 years ago) This Rover vs Spider game shows off a fair representation of Hermit viability I think. http://zero-k.info/Battles/Detail/851375 Edit: History repeats itself http://zero-k.info/Battles/Detail/851400 +0 / -0
