I somewhat agree with some of the points above, but with reservations.

It should either be really bad at killing mobiles, or be able to do it automatically, but never "good at killing mobiles if you micro it".

Units should be smart enough to use their abilities reasonably well; if a killager can kill, it shall. My thinking here is that Emissary should not be as good as it is at killing mobiles (or maybe mobiles can be made worse at dying to killager, e.g. with idle dodge unitai?)

I think trading resistance to artillery for weakness to direct assault (gauss vs stinger) is a valid tradeoff. But in many cases it feels like the amount of resistance gained is too large, especially for the cheaper turrets if they can be actively repaired.

Ideally they introduce single points of failure: cut the power, and your super duper defensive line is now just shooting practice for fleas. However, it's way too easy to provide reduntant and hardened connections.

Reducing Pylon link range would make that a lot more difficult. In an extreme case, consider whether you would be afraid of a Desolator linked using Solars (which shut down when you damage them) or Winds (which blow up when you sneeze on them).

I think there should be way more terrain-destroying weapons, and all factories should have terraform-busting units - ideally, integrated with UnitAI. Some steps were taken in this direction (Ogre and Ripper will now gladly shoot obstacles with minimal hassle), but not enough. Samesaid Ripper could automatically destroy walls around walled mexes etc.

But many factories are completely SOL when dealing with e.g. a buried outlaw (everything besides tank, plane, maybe rover?), sunken fusion, or even a terramex.

Constructors don't count for this purpose, especially as they cannot be given terraform-defeating UnitAI.

These are fine IMO, except for snipers being open about their role as unit-killing artillery.

They are a bit unfun to play against but they aren't that degenerate IMO.
