Cookie Krisp: Nope, the current gremlin nerf is going to ruin Anders. Forge is gonna run over her every time if gremlin gets moved a whole tech level. And it is even worse than that, they are moving the upgrades up too. Even Cutter will own Anders now.
I was going to write a big paragraph criticizing the gremlin nerf, but I'm busy today. So i'll get to it tomorrow or so. I know the gremlin tech level nerf is going to ruin the game because the same people who wanted that nerf also wanted to buff PoR again. I'm not saying the gremlin shouldn't be nerfed, but moving it an entire tech level is just gonna completely tip the scale against her. Without the gremlin, she has nothing. Waiting till tech 2 to use the gremlin is pointless because it'll be too late by then. Forge will already have 2x the economy and Anders will have no tools to prevent it.
you don't even need to build them to win, Forge can't go inf' that hasn't changed, so its vehicles or air.
Air gets countered to hard by wolvies and hogs, so vehicles, Anders will out-tank forge everytime on hook maps, and forges ECO' bonus isn't good at at all, if anders's upgrades her pads by 1min later they have equal Re's coming in.
i just don't see whats going to change, forge can't go hogs, or inf, or vehicles, air get raped by hogs, and Anders will have allmost the same eco as forge anyway, i dont see how forge can win where he can't build usefull units.
