[quote]I don't want to nerf striders, I want to make "hero" tactics - which are very appealing to new players - less attractive. There is still an element of surprise: when will strider complete, which one, where will it be deployed. You still need to scout for everything else that can be built. Plus if you send e.g. bombers in blind then you might be in for a nasty surprise.[/quote]

Anyone rushing a strider would get one of the lesser ones. If a strider lab was revealed to me I'd go:

And soon the battlefield would be flooded with anti-heavies. Dante rush? Lol. Dead to anti-heavies. Lol scorpion rush? Anti heavies everywhere! Maybe dead. Ultimatiums? Tell a teammate to get some fleas along with my anti-heavies.

You
don't
seem
to
understand
the
element
of
surprise
part.
If
the
enemy
does
not
know
I
have
gone
striders,
I
probably
don't
have
to
worry
about
anti-strider
measures.
If
the
enemy
gets
auto
vision
of
the
strider
hub?
They
start
making
anti-striders.
It
doesn't
take
much
to
make
an
Athena
and
rush
a
ultimatium
completely
out
of
view
of
the
enemy
unlike
your
strider
hub.

Newbies [b]rarely[/b] are attracted to the 'hero' tactics. They very very very often make a little porc fort behind the front line and just sit there spaming shields and pylons. I believe my data shows that about 1 in 12 newbies are actually aggressive. You really don't want to get rid of newbie aggressiveness. You want to [b]ATTRACT[/b] them to start attacking.
