If shieldbots are genuinely overpowered in low level play but not in high level play this indicates one thing: That they are easier to use. That might be a problem insofar as it makes the game less interesting at that level, spider and jumpbots are good examples of 'pro' factories that few people can execute well.

There is another possibility, of course, that players at this skill level have simply seized on a set of strategies they have learned for this factory that they understand well how to execute, and have copied them from higher level players and eachother. Next week, some high level player will re-introduce people to the jack rush, or everyone will realise that ravager spam beats almost anything, or how dominant a plane start can be on a large map, and they'll be doing that. This is called the metagame and it changes even at high level play.

the
