I feel like striders are much more fun element of the game rather than giant superweapons that just force resign and they should appear more often. Detriment never gets built in team games, even though it is in a much better spot than before. I don't play a lot of FFA so I'm not commenting its balance, but for team games there is like 0 consideration what to build - it is always DRP - the cheapest, safest and most reliable and best out of options. It can kill enemy from the safety of your base without much risk once it's built and it counters absolutely everything.

I really wish that all superweapons costed closer to 2x the Detriment cost so the bigger striders have more incentive to be built in comparison. My suggestion is that the cheapest superweapon should start at 50k pricetag.

Also in another thread concerning Zenith there was a little bit of talk about superweapon balance and I brought a small detail to attention that I wanted to restate here. DRP is clearly the best in team games (and probably in a lot of FFA scenarios). I suggest a very small nerf to it that will help by taking a little bit of its power away to allow for more counter play. It's the most offending feature for me is the EMP stun time - it's almost equal to the Shockley at 25 seconds, which is way more than necessary to keep things stun locked when focused. It also brings all striders that attempt to escape it to a halt. I suggest to cut it down to no more than 10 sec. In some clutch scenarios I saw it would make a difference, mainly in trying to counter play it with a silo. I probably should have saved the replays so I have some more concrete evidence for @GoogleFrog that it matters.

Another small nerf that it could use would be make its range a little bit lower so it needs to be in a more risky spot compared to other superweapons.

I suggest 7500 -> 7200 or 7000. For reference, Big bertha is at 5600 range (using wiki numbers).

Another
small
change
I'd
make
for
all
superweapons
is
to
increase
their
footprint
to
make
them
harder
to
wall
off/terraform
and
protect
from
cloaked
enemies.
Basically
introduce
a
bit
more
weaknesses
that
could
be
used
for
comeback
in
some
clutch
scenarios.
Also
bigger
=
more
epic.

Superweapons cost vs strider cost
