Everyone is saying new mm sucks bc it emphasizes getting most damage as opposed to capping... But maybe we're not truly appreciating how much 'more' important damage is than beacons. Of course u need a balanced approach.
Consider this: the strategy is NEVER just survive the longest, bc u don't win simply by being alive when time runs out.
So that means u want to be focusing on beacons or damage from the get go, not just surviving (Natasha's w Noricum. I hope u die).
So, u want bots that r strong for taking beacons or doing damage.
But here's the thing...
When u destroy a bot and send them back to spawn, u can grab the close beacon they were defending whether u r a stalker or a fury. Thus only super heavy firepower bots are the only ones capable of performing both required roles of dealing high damage AND getting beacons.
Thus since bots that do lots of damage r most strategically useful, damage itself comes out as a good stat for play quality.
Not saying beacon-running dedicated bots r useless. But certainly beacon-running dedicated lineups r just silly, and should b unless u want to change the game name to 'beacon-running robots'. Unless it's part of an overall team strategy or st.
I'm sorry u guys can't play crappy lineups anymore. The whole point of the developers job from the beginning was to make u buy a bunch of different bots. Luckily if u don't like this game... It is free...
