I've been in this community for longer than a year now, and I loved every second of it, even when things weren't going well. Before I started playing, I thought that rovers are a joke, and I didn't see anyone play them well, in a calculated manner. After I joined, I got to witness things that got nerfed like Fencer only meta, kodachi retreating meta, and I was one of the first to discover these metas. But what I really wanted to do since I joined this game was bring rovers into the meta. For a long time, I thought that they were quite underpowered, lacking the cool shields shieldbots have, lacking the gimmicky mechanics jumpbots possessed at that time, with the only thing that seemed to stand out being the artillery. Damn, even scorchers seemed to struggle against other raiders! But as I played the game, I started finding interesting interactions between units such as fencers fending off raiders if protected by scorchers, fencers countering lotuses, impalers being useful after constant raids, badgers countering riot units, 5 darts being able to take out a lotus turret and mexes with ease, 5 darts and 3 scorchers being able to take quick work of lone commanders, dominatrixes countering most things tanks throw at them. I made an entire guide, at the end! I might make a small remaster on it once I hit 800 hours in the game.
But the question that really bothered me is if I was able to really bring rovers into the spotlight? I might not be as good as Godde, create a mod like Shaman, or be just as volatile as Firepluk, but knowing that I was able to influence the opinions on my favorite factory in the game would make me happy. :)
I'm prepared for heavy criticism.
