I've had matches where I was able to roll over my opponents with hogs. But it was usually because they didn't attack my base and they didn't bother to obtain any of the power stacks scattered throughout the map. Rather than bolster defenses at their main bases, they spent their time and resources trying to stop me from attacking their newly constructed base.
If you spend most of your time in this game on the defense, you're going to have a difficult time.
It's not ridiculously overpowered, but it is unfair.
If someone hits T2 before you, is that their fault or yours?
Sure, it'd be nice to see Cyclops get a little buff. But if you're leaving your opponent alone, can you really fault them for hitting you with an attack that leaves you in a difficult position?
One thing I've learned with this game, if you leave your opponent alone, you're going to be in for a hard time.
The past few matches I've had where I was very successful had 1 thing in common, every opponent spent their time not paying attention to me.
Attack them with what?? By 3 minutes the first 3 hogs are out and ready to kill/delay any infantry rush u come up with. How many flamers can you pump out before 3 minutes. 7-8? By the time u walk 8 Flamers to the enemy base.

That isn't an issue where you're not paying attention to your opponent, it's an issue where you can't pump out units that can actually fight them fast enough.
If you scout his base and see generators, send units to attack them.
If you see garages, send units to attack them.
It seems as if you're trying to have the devs pick up your slack.

Just gotta think outside the box.
Lmao I'd like to point out that Viper Skills has in fact beaten my hog rush by swarming my base with full pop regular grunts before. And I laughed my butt off while it happened.Viper Skills wrote:Step 1: Complain about meta picks

If you just cluster all the fodder at the base entrance, the hogs will get trapped by all the fodder and won't be able to escape :PXTheManateeX wrote:Fodder building damage OP pls nerf.LoC SnOwGhOst wrote:80 pop of cannon fodder at your base in 2:00 should put an end to the hog rush real quick :P

We have a good competitive club set up that hosts tournaments that ban broken leaders. A couple things aside, it's actually quite a good balance. It's genuinely hard to pick a "worst leader" because all of them are capable of being viable.DT DarkPhoenix wrote:Decided to check in and see how things are going, Looks like more of the same.

Even if you rush, the rusher can still fail as he can be beat by hogs after a rush.Ol Skool85 wrote:So what is your strategy to prevent your opponent from getting 6 - 8 hogs by 4mns?BreezyStarfish1 wrote:When you're getting hit with 6-8 hogs at the 4:00 minute mark you don't have time to get enough AV to have a real good chance to fight it off.Ol Skool85 wrote:Unfair how?BreezyStarfish1 wrote:The issue is if you have someone quick tech to hogs you are at a ridiculous disadvantage.

80 pop CF will NOT stop a hog rush as a turret will stomp them out before they destroy a base building.LoC SnOwGhOst wrote:80 pop of cannon fodder at your base in 2:00 should put an end to the hog rush real quick :P

Hog rush is unfair, but not as OP as other metas had been
You don't attack buildings with CF. You swarm the hogs and any other marines/etc... that are out there.DeathRitual4977 wrote:80 pop CF will NOT stop a hog rush as a turret will stomp them out before they destroy a base building.LoC SnOwGhOst wrote:80 pop of cannon fodder at your base in 2:00 should put an end to the hog rush real quick :P

As Forge, i build 1Gen, immediately upgrade, build supply pads with remaining resources and try to grab a minibase.
Even if I were to obtain some of the power stacks throughout the map, I can only begin T2 research around 2.25 to 2:40.
Once you hit T2, after about 30 seconds, then can you construct a garage which takes about 25 seconds? Once you get that, then you have to build hogs which take about 18 seconds.
How are you getting 6-8 hogs before 4mns?
Please tell me your ways
Its worse against isabel. Since she can spam it 3 seconds faster per warthog and it costs much less. (She gets accelerated assembly at tier 2 abilitiesIllThe Weeknd wrote:I take back my earlier remarks. Seems Hogs are being abused at Onyx and higher.
There is no way to win against a skilled Forge player as another UNSC leader. Forge's eco is good enough to rush, and still tech up. Also, cyclops are seemingly worthless against mass warthogs.
