Oh yeah, this should go without saying, but the way you have the unlocks set up is absolutely devastating. You are punishing GDI players because Nod units are simply overpowering earlier on when you don't have everything unlocked.
Especially when used with Kane - Nod is vastly superior. If you guys decide to go through with this system, you will lose the majority of your player base before they even unlock half of the units.
Being punished simply because important cards are locked behind RNG crates is infuriating. It makes one want to uninstall the game. Why would I play a game when I a doomed to lose from the very start. It is not much of a game for the GDI player if the only chance the GDI player has is if the Nod player makes a grave error.
One should be rewarded for outplaying the opponent, not punished because of the faction they chose.
Question for the devs and for anyone else. How do you counterplay Scarabs?
What possibility of counterplay exists? I have not had one interactions with scarabs yet that I could outplay. If they opponent does not make an error, he wins the exchange.
you don't attack them at that early stage, you just hold back and defend the places that are important since scarabs don't win when they have to do the attacking, at the very least it stops them from taking out harvesters, holding down a bunch of platforms, and the like.
EDIT: Oh, and strongarm turrets are a pretty decent way to get rid of them too, not quite as efficient as riflemen but if you catch them by surprise while they're moving its no contest and if they trade with the turret its a relatively (but not quite) even trade
