Official Riot Unit Ranking

Skrid tier

Why do I feel that like every other post on this forum is written by you, these times

There are several things about this.
There are a couple ways to rank riots, by how good they are at their job (which I'm assuming you did), or by who would win in a fight.

Redback I agree deserves to be higher than that, they are certainly much better than an Outlaw (in general, depends on situation), and I'm not really sure how it's lower than all the units in B tier. Some of this makes sense but I'd say it's off by a bit.

Also, some other things to note, there are a lot of situations any of these riots could be in that could favor one riot more than another riot against certain raiders, and how common these situations are could lead to one or another unit being "better" at it's job than another. There is also the fact that there are many different raiders and types of raiders that you could come across where one type could get wrecked by a certain riot while another type of raider could present a much more difficult situation for said riot. This ALSO presents another situation which is that there are some raiders that will never meet up with some riots in a normal game because of their differences. For instance, a Siren (an extreme example) will probably not encounter Glaives very often at all, if ever. There is also the case of if certain riots are better in groups or if they are better alone, and how they make cost compared to what size of an riot of that type army they are in, etc. Overall, it would take a lot of work and testing etc. to make an accurate list.

Also Also, why does it say "Official" in the title?

IMO Redbacks are like A tier. It's all about how you use them. Yeah, single target but fast rate of fire.

Is Ogre really that good?

Skuggtheother I think Ogre is very good. It can, under heavy micro, close in and destroy units like Rogue which it is not supposed to destroy. It shuts down most of Rover. It also makes Minotaur blobs extra deadly by giving them AOE and limited AA capacity.

Twin missile ogre is much better at handling swarms than is single missile incarnation.

It's funny that someone else rated ripper so highly in another tier list thread, it's gotten amazing dps buffs over time.

Mace deserves B or A teir, its such a good unit to push with. It kites other riots, kills commanders, rolls through llt, and its range + dps make it very hard for raiders to even touch it. Great pushing unit, and exceptional in a lance ball

Pyro actually loses for cost against all other raiders, so any designation as a riot is a misnomer.

Nice use of unit icons I guess, but I find the list pretty much nonsensical. Is this a rating of general unit strength or riot capabilities? Either way, the only thing I can agree with is Reaver as S-tier(but S++).

An interesting enough discussion, regardless.
