5 Because if I pick a game like this one (picked because it's on the front page): https://zero-k.info/Battles/Detail/1138793
6 I see a 4000 metal cost Funnelweb (the price of a singu that would have paid for itself in overdrive in 4 minutes), in its 10 minutes of existence, reclaim around 2000 metal that was already being reclaimed by multiple caretakers and constructors, move forwards a bit against a retreating enemy and then die when it discovered it had advanced too far and was too slow to retreat.
7 And looking at things objectively I can't see much more it could have done of use, it's just not an efficient unit for any of the things that needed doing in that battle.

9 That 4000 metal would have been better spent on pretty much ANYTHING ELSE (singu, dante, scorp, merlin, half a trinity, most of a bertha, 60 glaives, 5 Minotaurs...).
10 I feel Funnelwebs are giant noob traps in most non-FFA circumstances atm.
