One
of
the
main
reason
I
don't
like
defenders
is
because
it's
used
against
its
main
purpose,
i.
e.
defend.
It's
very
frequent
to
see
that
defender
is
being
used
as
a
'static
skirmisher
unit'
against
other
defense,
so
it
out-ranges
LLT,
gauss,
urchin,
faraday,
stardust.

Secondly defender gains power from height of placement. Almost all assaults have limited arc of aiming/shooting, so that if defender is high enough they simply won't be able to shoot. As for artillery, defender on the hill easily out-ranges hammers and wolverines.

Thirdly there's a concern that defender nerf will cause skirmisher outbreak. This is of course a valid worry, however skirmisher power will need to be contained anyway. I second someone's opinion in this thread that mainline units should be assaults and raiders, rather than riot + BSS.
