EA Staff (Retired)There may be a balance issue in regards to the Titan unit (at least in GDI vs. GDI). Rocket infantry are seemingly the only readily available counter to titans but are easily outmatched. At current damage rates I don't see how teams without air units or titans can really beat\stalemate titan swarmers.
A very simple fix could be adding an air unit as a basic unlock as a hard counter, forcing titan swarmers to have to deploy anti-air. Or even just reducing titan damage to infantry, leaving the titan intact as a hard counter to vehicles but allowing teams to counter the titan with rocket infantry.
It just seems like titan functions outside of the balance mold the rest of the (admittedly non-epic, specifically GDI) units are tuned for. Maybe I'm wrong and rarer epics are meant to be a haves\nots divider for league purposes? That would explain why titan seems to break the R\P\S mold since very few players seem to have epic units that aren't sandstorm at this point.

The Titan is way too powerful. Players that are able to get to Zone Troopers and Titans are just darn near unbeatable. There’s just no useful counter for this. At all. Even worse if the user has the health drones too.
As far as the Titan unit goes, if you look at the price of it you will easily see that it is a unit that cannot be produced until late in the game while sacrificing a lot of things to be able to get to it it is the most expensive unit in the game I think. It cost 240 tiberium
