1 [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] 1 [quote]I don't want to nerf striders, I want to make "hero" tactics - which are very appealing to new players - less attractive.

6 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. 6 And soon the battlefield would be flooded with anti-heavies. Dante rush? Lol. Dead to anti-heavies. Lol scorpion rush?

10 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. 10 You don't seem to understand the element of surprise part.

12 Edit:
13 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.
