    The Warthog Thread

    We're seeing a huge increase in Warthog related posts. I'm going to be combining threads in to this one, so please post in here instead of starting up a new thread on warthogs.

    Here's the official line on Warthogs:

    Re: The Warthog Thread

    Rush is not OP Spam is.  

    I think that the warthogs have been dealt with in the new update.

    Cookie crisp your an idiot, gunner hogs are fine.

    guass hogs at tech 4. that way you can counter them effectively. Aloyius, glad to see your taking some initiative. 
    If you say PLZ because its shorter than please, I will say no because its shorter than yes.

    Re: The Warthog Thread

    Please do not balance this patch around newbie complaints, Robot. I know you're a good dev team, and probably will not, it's just my plea.

    Gauss hogs need a tweak. Just a behind-the-scenes stat change, I'd personally like to see the building damage and damage against heavy armor reduced significantly, once again allowing scorpions and wraiths to counter gauss hogs. As it is now, regardless who wins the fight, gauss counters scorpions and wraiths because they are faster and do more building damage per resource, forcing scorpions/wraiths/hunters to sit and defend.

    Nobody above trueskill 40 has ever had a problem with gunner/grenadier hogs. Please do not hamstring the game as a PR move.

    Re: The Warthog Thread

    Hogs are OP because n0obs can pick them up and own, and pros use this tactic because they know that the opponent will be unable to effectively counter it, no matter their skill level.

     

    If you say: I can counter it, just get better,  back to me    you are an average player who has faced average players and average gauss hogs spams

     

    GAUSS HOG SPAM IS OP  THE RUSH IS NOT

    there is couple of main points for ya'

    Re: The Warthog Thread

    Oh my god... OH MY GOD!

    Thank you, thank you so much. Aloysius, I'm not kidding, all the threads were too much, and those not understanding the problem apparently didn't realize it had been acknowledged by the devs.

    Thank you.

    thank god you made this, now the forums wont be spammed with them,

    though I now relize they are stronger than I once thought I still dont quite think that they are strong enough to be as OP as most claim.

    Re: The Warthog Thread

    people are able to easily counter the elephant rush,  its just people cannot stop the spam

    maybe turrets need to have 0 tech to upgrade,  or something so people figure out a turret will stop the rush ( pre-3:30)

    gauss hog beats tanks with micro

    beats marines with micro or without

    beats hunters with micro

    cannot beat cobras with micro, but you cannot get enough of them to be effective

    Re: The Warthog Thread

    Im against these threads becuase i dont think you (robot) read them. Its just to silence the people.

    But, dont nerf the hogs, just the guass cannon. The damage to heavy armor needs to be reduced so that counter units actually counter them.

    I know now they are strong (did a little research, read some posts, meatshields really convinced me,) but I know some people have stopped it so I dont like the idea of calling it "OP"

    Re: The Warthog Thread

    The game is fine gauss is not OP, just drop it you guys and get better at the game! Gauss spam is only hard to counter if the enemy has 3 bases, and in that case it's your own fault for loosing, at least that is if you dont have 3 bases for your self as well!?

    they dont read them anymore atleast because your plan of spamming the forums with the idea to get the point across was just annoying

    Useually, it is a case of getting better at the game. But when the best still say its OP, then theres something wrong
