Hackers should target air units?

[Iso Koala]

I kinda feel they should. Visually it makes no sense that they cant, they look like a long range beam unit which definitely should be able to attack air as well. If that makes them too strong, belance their range or something.

sorry pal but i opt to scrap hakers and make healers or necros instead

One of the worst threads ever made.

Edit: In fact, hackers should just be flat out removed from the game. They aren't in any other types of auto battler games for a reason. The fact that they even get an upgrade that immediately makes whatever they hacked go to full HP is disgusting. You can't reach the back row in this game so good luck with countering this. "Just use air units" you mean units that are easy to counter?!?!? The best bet you have is an overlord and that's a rather sizable investment. Now that I think about it, why wouldn't you just use the 5 beams + full HP version? This thing honestly shouldn't be in the game because it's pretty broken and no, broken does not mean, huurrr duuuurrr, just use hacker and you will win every game! Nothing has a 100% win rate no matter how busted it is. Even if you beat hackers it does not even feel remotely rewarding because all you did was beat your own army in the first place. I guess you could say the counter to hackers is to hack your own units back but that sounds so utterly stupid I don't even want to go into that topic.

I agree that they should be changed into healers/nerfers instead, THEN I would allow them to be able to target air units. As it stands now it's just another toxic mechanic that's in the game.

I didnt read your message, since you started with such immature aggression just for a personal thought, that I am not going to bother further with you.

I mean he's right though.

He is not. He might disagree with my idea, or actually a question as the topic has a ? mark to imply that its something to ask opinions about, not state as a fact or persue. But this is not "One of the worst threads ever made.".

lol it is hilarious how you can always find someone who will call any unit OP.

As long as suicide Rhinos are in the game, Hackers should stay in the game as well.

"X unit is OP it has no counters and can 1v1 just about anything!"

Here are a list of counters

"Well things don't exist in a vacuum there are stuff to cover it!"

Here is a list of stuff to do to counter those covers or the combo as a whole

"Well X unit is strong in its own right and 1v1 beats out just about everything!"

And repeat. Like the recent Stormcaller OP one where the guy can't decide on arguing about the unit in a vacuum as a unit in its own right vs equal cost other units or when adding in other things like tech for what it can do and other units to cover it, seemingly just switching to the other whenever the argument is turning against him.

I would say just use EMP to disable the self destruct, but Photon Coating exists... Heh, an idea is to make EMP shots deal full damage to Photon coated units instead of being reduced by half like everything else but still won't actually slow down or disable until the coating runs out.

Hacker is just the ultimate glass cannon. I will never use it unless 500% health choice pops up, then a valid choice. But even then, works against some combos. Strongest part of Hacker actually is, that when it takes a 400 credit unit under control, it causes 400 extra damage, not just take that opponent unit out from the play, like every other unit does.

Yeah, because of its size I think people forget that it actually has less HP than an Arclight.

you have 49h in the game....
yet you seem to know everything about the games balance....

I have only 43h in this game and feel i understand maybe 30% of whats going on by my own
rest of my knowledge is from watching ~ 15h highest level streamers .
i still have a lot to learn

Since i know highest level streamers dont agree with your opinion
this tells a lot about you....

you earned yourself a troll award
you try something for a couple games....
doesnt work out for you

-> immediately go on forum and say unit xy has to be removed since you as a beginner player didnt counter it in his first couple attempts -> it must be broken ....

lol
