I think now I know where my bad feeling about riot/raiders is coming from.

When I started playing Zero-K, I somehow got the idea that against a certain composition, if I'd select the exact right units, and used them optimally, I could beat an army 4 times more expensive then mine. That Zero-K was a game of counters with a constantly changing battlefield. Now, that was never really true, but the idealistic idea stuck. I mean, you can still kill 4 Crabes with a Juggle. Or blow up a massive shieldball with 3 cloaked Snitches. I was fine with generalists like Minotaur or Harpy since were fun to play (and even play against) and weren't that strong.

But
the
riot/raiders
are
strong.
And
they
definitely
are
generalists,
and
there
are
a
lot
of
them
now,
putting
another
nail
in
the
coffin
of
my
dream
of
dynamic
Zero-K.
