I think OP it's name doesn't OP show how OP this unit is, OP how about renaming OP it to "OPndit" or "BandOP"?
Just OP kidding, bandit OP is fine OP as OP it is.

Ok, i'll post em here as soon as I find more
An unit that can pwn glaives and scorchers easily unbalances 1v1s a lot, and EErankAdminAnarchid can agree with me there.
A speed nerf would fix this imo

A fellow raider that can simply and easily deal with Glaives and Scorchers for cost is an issue. However, having units in general that can deal with them is good design.

That's why its opness isn't noticeable on medium/big teamgames, which explains why most people are not aware of this issue. It's a balance problem that affects mainly 1v1, since in these kind of games depend mainly on raiding, and that's where bandit is op, because it can deal with all the other raiders easily and force enemy to play defensive, which means a slow expansion -> death

For reference how do bandits perform against basic defences like mt and llt?
In comparison to other raiders of course
+0 / -0
I wouldn't say that the Bandit in general is OP even though I'd say that Bandits got the micro advantage against Glaives and Scorchers. What I mean by micro advantage is that Bandits will win for cost when they are using fight commands against incoming Glaives and Scorchers. If the Glaive or Scorcher player want to destroy the Bandits he needs to find a way to close the distance or catch the Bandits off guard.
However Bandits are one of the slowest raiders where only Duck and Archers are slower so Glaives and Scorchers can outmaneuver them and attack them from several angles to be able to close the distance.

But because of the low speed Bandits have trouble catching Pyros or surrounding Venoms.

When I go hovers or spiders I don't fear Bandits. I fear Glaives.
Glaives speed and cheap cost makes them the best raiders to counter flea harass and you just need 2 Glaives to beat a venom. Basically Glaives can shutdown spider expansion and prevent flea harassment in 1v1.
Glaives regeneration of health and speed makes it very hard to kill them with Scrubbers, hover raiders.
Bandits are more expensive than Glaives and can't really run down a Venom or regenerate health after being hit by a Scrubber.

1v1 is often won by raiders.
