That was before Bramble could retract thorns or attack.

Kudos for experimenting with bramble even in such hard times! Yeah that tip hex has been bothering lots of people, but if you play hard and fast (control the top before pulling out a bramble), the opponent will have a hard time getting a sniper up there.
PS the replay in my sig is hilarious in your situation

Just my two cents: I am not a fan of being able to snipe over the water and wish this would be removed on next update. An enjoyable game (on any platform) is largely driven by consistency. This ability to snipe over water is an anomaly only available on one map. That said, it isn't something that would be obviously possible unless the player was privy via this thread. Fortunately, I haven't had this happen to me but now that I stumbled upon it in the forum, I am glad to be aware. The only way that this ability seems fair is if there were several maps in which a player could use this or none at all. It just seems like any player who this is used against for the first time wouldn't stand a chance. For the average player who isn't active in the forum (majority), this move would tick me right the F off. Good to know now that this is possible, however it is inconsistent with all the other gameplay; for that reason it should be either be widely available (on the next wave of maps) or not at all. Having it there on just one map feels gimmicky.
Perhaps that was more like four cents worth.

Additionally, it's not "inconsistent," although it is perhaps "non-obvious." It's not inconsistent because you can also shoot over holes in the map, which are present in many maps (peekaboo, glitch). Shooting over things is not inconsistent, but shooting over the map may be non-obvious.
With that said, what is inconsistent to me is that you can't shoot over the edge in sweet tooth. I know the map technically "ends" there, but like the other maps you would perhaps initially think you can shoot over the edge, but you can't.

I agree with cor, sniper can shoot over the void, so I don't have any problem about these SFI and SD tricks. But this sweet tooth bug ruined some battle because the player justly thought it worked here!

Well, it does favor adorables more than other teams. Removing the ability to shoot "over the water" would be a slight nerf to adorables...kind of elegant actually.

That's true, I wouldn't miss it if they got rid of it. It does seem like an unfair advantage for Adorables and less so for Scallywags.
