Super buffed ro'god'ka play in power plant

HUSH! don't say things like "buffed tooo much...," they might hear you.

In fairness, some very smart gameplay did you no disservice here...

Nice! The speed and faster jumps make this the ultimate hit and run bot. I am really hoping this makes it to the game.

It's a Cossack combined with a Griffin!

Not sure if I'll like the uptick in hp. Increasing the ttk will make it easier to respond to ambushes and flanking, lessen the value of cover and positioning, lengthen game times, etc.

To put it into perspective, this is basically a griffin that's traded off two of its light hardpoints in exchange for a smaller hitbox and more than double the speed.

While there is some value in buffing rather than nerfing, there are times where it goes too far.

Watching that video I also thought it might have been buffed too much- it looked almost overpowered... until I realized that no one in that whole game ran any plasma? I'd wreck fools all day long with a Rog in a parallel, plasma free universe. But in the one we live in, with plasma Galahad, Griffin, Fury Zeus and Ancilot dominating top? I honestly wonder if this buff will be enough for me to run it. I'm still going to lose heads up to any of the plasma bots, while in close I won't have the punch to burn though Ancilot shields with Orkan.

Put it this way: back in the day before the Griffin speed buff I used to run two maxed Rogs- easily my favorite bot to play. But even pre Griff buff I retired the Rog due to the Griffin's higher firepower and health. The new Rog speed buff cancels the one the Griff got, so that's back to previous status quo. And now it's got 5% less health than the Griffin instead of 15%- better. But firepower is now more important than ever with the rise of Anciles and physical shields, and those two extra mags or Pinanta so often make the difference between punching through that shield or not.

So is this better than it was? Absolutely. Overpowered? I ask myself which bot I'd drop from my lineup- Plasma Galahad, Ancilot or DB Griffin. Maybe the last? But then I'll virtually lose the ability to wack Ancilots, so quite possibly not... Does look fun as hell though.
