This kind of balancing is what I believe keeps adding to the constant imbalance between factories. Fleas being so disproportionally powerful is what gives the spider fac an edge in many current matchups. Instead of just removing the strong unit and making the factory weak, the strength between the different units should be normalized. Find the strongest unit and the weakest unit and exchange some of their strength. If the factory is generally a bit too oppressive you can nerf slightly more than you buff.

For example we've just had the amphibious bots, who relied mostly on Archers and Grizzlies, nerfed. Ducks, Buoys or Scallops were rarely used, and by simply nerfing Archer and not buffing one of those underused units, the result is that hardly anyone starts Amphib anymore. (Although I don't believe more than a 2% buff would've been needed)

This
is
by
far
not
the
first
time
for
this
to
happen
and
I'm
just
unsure
whether
the
intention
between
every
discussion
of
a
single
unit
is
really
intended
to
nerf/buff
an
entire
factory.
Because
if
that's
not
your
intention,
you'll
have
to
include
some
other
unit
in
the
spider
lineup
to
compensate.

To get to the point of this thread, I do believe Fleas need a [i]slight[/i] range or dps decrease. Keeping the longer range does make for more interesting swarm strategies. I also believe that Redbacks, Venoms and Hermits are generally underperforming.
