1 lol watched replay. I understand now the complaint is not about domi's being OP (which they are not, watch the replay), but being unfun. 1 lol watched replay. I understand now the complaint is not about domi's being OP (which they are not, watch the replay), but being unfun.

14 I feel the problem lies mainly with tanks vs domi: tanks are really fun to play when you can win by attrition, keeping your heavy units alive and building up an army until you are unstoppable. 14 I feel the problem lies mainly with tanks vs domi: tanks are really fun to play when you can win by attrition, keeping your heavy units alive and building up an army until you are unstoppable.
15 However, domi's take this fun away from you by literally taking away your tanks... 15 However, domi's take this fun away from you by literally taking away your tanks...
16 With other facs you can have the satisfaction of wiping out the domi's with light units/scythes/snipers/air/bombs, but with tanks it is a bit harder. 16 With other facs you can have the satisfaction of wiping out the domi's with light units/scythes/snipers/air/bombs, but with tanks it is a bit harder.
17 Emissaries work, but since they are finicky and often hit them out of LOS you don't get the satisfaction of seeing the domi's explode (as in this game). I think almost anyone agrees that using arty to kill units is annoying for both sides. 17 Emissaries work, but since they are finicky and often hit them out of LOS you don't get the satisfaction of seeing the domi's explode (as in this game).

20 I find burning domi's fun, especially if they were trying to cloak. koda being immune to burn also helps somewhat to survive against captured koda's. 20 I find burning domi's fun, especially if they were trying to cloak. koda being immune to burn also helps somewhat to survive against captured koda's.
21 The question is whether this is fun enough, and if it is possible to reliably pull this off with decent unit control... difficult is not fun. 21 The question is whether this is fun enough, and if it is possible to reliably pull this off with decent unit control... difficult is not fun.

35 Having some more replays of tanks(koda) vs domi can help to diagnose difficulties/unfunness in koda vs domi. Perhaps koda needs a buff, or a some changes to reload/damage/burn time to make it more fun to use (vs domi) 35 Having some more replays of tanks(koda) vs domi can help to diagnose difficulties/unfunness in koda vs domi.
