Do we feel like this decisively says raptor can fight against magpie or nah? TBH I can't be bothered rewatching to see what our totals were, but it felt like raptor and tarantula were doing a pretty good job when not enormously outmassed?

What a game. Maybe there should be a nukes launched stat because I don't think I've seen so many launches or hits in a team game before.

A cheaper mix of Raptor and Magpie seemed to destroy Magpie. The main fight to watch is near the start. I am not sure Tarantula did all that well, but there might be an angle where it hides slightly beneath the lips of cliffs to avoid the initial Magpie burst. Mixing Tarantula with riots could be effective. I would expect massed Ripper to remove any chance of Magpie being able to fly over.

There was also a concerning about of lagging out. It would be good to get a player that lagged out to run the replay for an hour and output some performance metrics. My PC ran fine as a spectator.

That is encouraging and disappointing. Being affected as a player is good because it means it can only be caused by a few specific things, but it is bad because it will be harder to find.

What happens if you watch the replay with /specfullview? Or maybe if you go to the end of the replay and do '/cheat' '/team 0' '/luaui reload' to really be on the team.
