I can see how it could be a slight compensation for
Forge's weaker early game. My opinion would be that they just need to
somehow buff their purpose
as a "building killer." I just think the only way you can make them any
kind of a formidable threat is by increasing their ability to kill
buildings faster. Then, people might care a bit more about them.. Like
more risk/reward maybe? Keep their health relatively low but make their
damage somewhat higher..
