I gotta know right here, right now...am I investing all my time, effort, and some coin into a game that - in the long run - will end up with me having a hangar full of bots armed with Hydras only (OK, maybe an Aphid or two)  I'm currently in Diamond League II, but have noticed since Gold league that more and more players are using Hydras. So many in fact that I sometimes struggle to find an opponent in the middle of a map to battle cause they're all camping in the back unleashing homing missiles. Granted, there are also the long range energy weapons to deal with. It just seems as I climb the ladder, there are less players actually battling face to face. Everything has become long range. Kinda blows. I like the variety the game offers, but all signs point to Hydra and Energy weapon bots in the end. |

Nope. All Dashes with Orkans and Tarancilots.
Edit: You know you can always go to leagues > Legend League and then go through and look and see what those players are using right?

1. Don’t play Domination
2. Squad up with som Champions and see what’s top tier about. I can assure you that there are zero Hydras in top tier; it’s mostly Orkan Haechis, Griffins and Lancelots.

All opinion here: hydras piss off everyone; especially dashes. Hitachi not as much... unless your a thoughtful hydra user and wait till his shield is a sliver or less.
Plus, you know how campers are everywhere... well, what better weapon than one that can be fired from the comfort of your (home spawn) couch?! Cummon! I can spawn in, use one hand to play, and earn(steal) multiple kills, what is not to love? Skill? Well I have to turn from side to side, sometimes, if the target is behind cover. It's hard to explain, it's too technical to put into words. You wouldn't understand anyway...
K. Enough facetiousness. Those that use hydras will not make it into Champ... with hydras. Stop upgrading them, no matter how many 5% damage buffs they get.

Unless you have a bot that has 10 medium hardpoints for you to have a total cycle damage of Hydras of 150k, don't bother using them... They're an outright annoyance, not to the reds, but you will generally be ineffective in trying to fight and defend beacons.

I own a couple of Hydras but stopped using them because they do about as much damage as a bee sting (level 9). Its the spirals and aphids that are really annoying to me.

This game is more about enjoying a journey than getting to a cool destination.

I've heard talk of players in general being less skilled than they used to be with the advent of recent changes. Could this be a natural progression? That said.. I love hydras! And the bots who just sit and use them I love sneaking past the front lines And tenderly turning them into little pieces with orkan love. Sorry, they do take me to a dark place. ..I'm getting help for that.  |

I dunno...I've found squadding a Patton-noricum and a zenit-fury can be quite annoying to spydras...or any campers at >600M.
