Licho

lol..after Stilleto comes LICHO...........NERF ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

Obviously someone has never used a licho before.

its good as it is. it is not invincible, but requires a decent amount of AA to stop it. because it forces either having an planes player or massive investments in static AA, maybe the pricetag is too low. you get a high mobility, high alpha weapon with nice HP etc.

suggestion: after bomb dropped, nerf the return-to-reload-pad speed, so the likelyness of repetition is smaller. that way there would maybe less complaints about licho being OP. (but i dont like this suggestion -.-)




[lolz]
licho has too much alpha to show its unique negeative impulse powa.
it could be so much better if units do not insta die on missle impact but are thrown around and die on ground impact! pure awesomeness! (thats what quake missle is missing)

Now you just need 2 hacksaws on every bit of your front line.

I'll support additional impulse for Quake any time of day.

or you could make plane factory and 1 avenger and makes the cost better after 4 more avenger investment:)?Epic right?

I used to go air every game (when I first climbed into the #10 ladder) and I understand the game mechanics fine. I tried everything to exhaustion before settling into light veh/cloaky/jumpies for most games, which I use because I enjoy aggression and raiding. I am also unbiased towards the unit, since my elo is neither a product of whoring the unit, nor are my favorite facs cloaky/light veh esp vunerable to it. I raise the issue because I think - and have always thought - that the unit is poorly balanced for the reasons outlined.

The only effective counter is having air superiority already. All the ground-based counters require a much larger resource investment than the cost of the licho, and many of them rely on the licho player making a stupid mistake (competent players will not oblige you). Heavy units that are harder to counter than to use are not good for unit diversity and are frustrating for players to face. The unit is also effective vs both heavies and swarms, and can easily make cost in 1-3 passes in a larger game.

Forever: you are not being objective and argue like a child

Stiletto tangent: I agree current Stiletto is not very useful and needs love

quote: It only works as anti-heavy when you cluster your heavy units together. If licho was removed too, I wouldn't use planes fac ever again...

so you only use the factory for the licho.

We are not talking about licho rushes here.

licho is definitely op in 1v1 games, as it forces the enemy to go air and can easily instagib most ground aa

Well goli is op in 1vs1 too and costs the same

Edit: ok maybe not

well. there is a gap between licho and krow. a very heavy, very slow bomber, like the suppreme commander forged alliances experimental bomber (search youtube if you dont know it). what about introducing this unit or modifying licho to be like this (HP, speed and firepower for a corresponding cost)
