How does rover play the earlygame against this? It feels like theyre forced into playing super defensive against the early glaives, and dont ever get the opprotunity to stabilize, because of the forwward comwalk...

I feel like rovers also struggle against this strategy when fighting amphs as well. Are rovers just not good here?

your purple rank so i cant help you maybe.. but iv seen fencers protected by scorchers screen huge areas.. or dart + radar = scouting.. + leveler ripper reaction forces.. i dont know if those work against a pro tho

Yeah, Fencer is key. Also proper Scorcher skirmishing and pressure is also key. Ripper is kinda bad compared to Scorchers against Glaives.

Submit the replay here for an analysis :-)

O.o oof i called it leveler and its ripper. huh its strange that the riot unit is considered sub optimal to a raider vs raider.. ripper has nice aoe but i guess maybe its the slow speed or fire rate?

Hard disagree on ripper there Godde, 1 ripper is easy to overrun but 2 rippers is the most effective glaive counter you can get from a land factory for that price. Scorchers on the other hand I find tend to have turret rotation speed issues vs glaives a lot of the time, much too volatile for my liking. If you have one player monospamming glaive and another spamming scorcher or scorchdart, the glaive monospammer is going to come out on top eventually.

Riposter wasn't monospamming Glaive in that game Stuart.
It is better to get Fencer in combination with Scorchers for initial defense. You can then use the Fencers to push out on the map. 2 Rippers is really expensive and are too easy to avoid for the Glaives on a map like this.

so.. maybe your both right depending on the situation.. im guessing maybe a nice bottleneck would favor ripper and a wide front ~ fencer + scorcher.. at-least vs glaves
