You forgot to honk. Also to provide more information. Are you talking about Stiletto? Racketeer? Something else?

It was only a few months ago that the stiletto got disarm instead of emp because it was overpowered. That was why the entire concept of disarm was invented.

So you want to get rid of disarm because it makes the units wielding that type of weapon inherently overpowered? And EMP doesn't?

Keep in mind that EMP disarms as well, it just has the additional usefulness of removing the ability to move. EMP is essentially a more powerful version of disarm.

It would be more fruitful to discuss specific units. It would help if you provided replays. Replays of somebody's failmorph getting countered in a large teamgame don't count.

Perhaps it is a mistake to take this thread seriously, but this is not the first time "Racketeers OP" gets called. I'm genuinely curious about the recent RackOP bandwagon since to this point I haven't discovered a good reason for its emergence other than unfounded opinions.

Racketeer is one of the hardest units to use in mass (cause no sane fight exists) + it's expensive enough to overwhelm it with swarm of cheaper units.

Please provide a replay, where you play duel with equally skilled opponent and can't do anything with racketeer(s).

Successful trolling was successful.

This is why this post was made.

midkar and @Shamansrnutreel got pissed off at racket WTF spam in this game. Yay I finally get a baww post :D

Racket skirms beautifully, you really have to screw up to lose a Racket. The problem is that it picks targets terribly. With better targeting AI, it would completely shut down the enemy.

I've been meaning to ask, what's the official "graphical effect" for Disarm?

I mean, Slow is beautifully consistent - anything glowy-purple is slow.

Stun is a bit worse - blue lightning is stun + damage, yellow lightning is almost pure damage, and blue-explosions are pure stun. Still, okay.

What's the "effect" for Disarm? Another lightning, another explosion... what color? I can't say I've even noticed a particular color. Is it pink?

it seems like anything that makes a unit disabled or die gets called as being OP.
wouldn't be surprised if lasers,machine guns, or nuke get labeled OP in the future.
not to mention the fact that a weapon type would have to be really broken by nature to consider removing from all units(disarm doesn't- it's always localized. if it stunned an entire team's units at once that would be considerable to rework but it doesn't do that).
each unit brings different things in terms of versatility and fire power, so it would be more worth looking at what a specific unit is doing wrong and see if that can be fixed first.

White/gray-ish lightning. This can be either by itself (Thunderbird) or added to the weapon's typical effect (missiles get white sparkles in their trail - Sketeer and Racketeer).
