dude strikers do HORRIBLE against robotics save for pycho droids. I've seen alot of BR where Cybernetic Warriors RAPE the **** out of apaches with ease because strikers can't kill them for anything.
And I, and many others, have seen a considerable number of BRs where Robos are destroyed by Strikers. And not poorly setup robos either, but properly set up and designed robo routes. Srtikers perform fantastically well against robotic units, whatever you seem rather stubbornly inclined to believe. But please feel free to show me BRs you have seen recently where Robos/Strikers of equal size fight each other, and where the robo wins easily in a hands down (or pants down
) rape. To reiterate my point, strikers are an exceptional unit and route; if you think they suck, you're simply not playing them properly.
Personally I think Harriers are better than strikers. I used to play that route back in earlier rounds and it seemed like both the other sides of the route chewed through my units with ease. Even with 4-5 million strikers and apaches they STILL got leveled by harriers or rpgs.
Harriers die so easily it's laughable. They die almost as easily as PBs (exaggeration but not by much). Yes, Harriers pack quite a punch but they are all dead after first tick so it's more or less irrelevant since
most robo routes don't die entirely in one tick. Even against strikers if you've massed CW you can do equal damages the first tick, then ofc by second tick you're dead since massed strikers won't die versus robo very well, and will be utterly crushed by a properly setup striker.
Again, i can't help but think you weren't playing strikers properly if you were being totalled by harriers and RPGs. Massing purely strikers is a no go, since it's an invitation to get assraped.
so why do you question my experience? I know because you are an asshole that's why. Rather than flame me you could of stuck to the topic. But typical of most of the other veteran players you are complete and total douche bag thanks.
I only question your experience because you seem not to understand some very basic game functions and how certain routes work.
And again I like how pick some parts of what i said rather than the whole thing. It doesn't help when about 30% or more of the round is playing that route it gets rather irritating. And They are overpowered for a unit that costs 56,000 a piece. They can EASILY be in bulk which they usually are which makes it rather easy to chew through ANY armoured units strikers and apaches included oh and Snipers fire before the health units in that route fyi...and before Apaches. But I shouldn't have to tell you that either now should I?
Every round there is a route that most people play, that still doesn't make it overpowered, it might make it annoying, sure, but i didn't attack that part of your gripe because i didn't think it needed to be addressed since you're right. It is annoying when a third of the playerbase goes one route. Although where you picked up those stats of 30% does intrigue me since i'm highly skeptical you hacked the entire playerbase and counted everyone and their route setup, but if you did, kudos to that.
They are
not particularly overpowered for a unit at 56k. They have their weaknesses as i delineated in my previous post. On the note of
picking certain aspects of people's posts to reply to i couldn't help but notice you ignored a large portion of my helpful post simply to rant and rave about my 'asshole-ish' behaviour.
Wait, hold on, the phone is ringing, Oh, it's the pot calling, it's for you!
RPGs and Snipers should not be able to wipe a well set up Striker with plenty of Health flak. To reiterate my point for a third time, if you're continuously dying to RPGs, then you're not playing the route right.
and if you were reading my sig..why don't you finish reading it...the bottom part preferably.
I was trying to be helpful to answer/address your gripe, if you'd prefer i just behave like an asshole without posting any sort of useful response, ask anyone, i'd be more than happy to oblige you
As it stands, you're behaving like quite the asshole and **** disturber yourself, so it's rather ironic you'd be calling us out on that.
Oh ****, the phone is ringing again, the pot is calling for you once more.
