Scrambler Balance?

[Katastrophe]

Hello everyone.

I've been playing Outwitters for only a few days, although I've already purchased the Uber Pack and the extra games. Games like this and Hero Academy are hands down my favorites to play. When ArtNJ posted on the Hero Academy League forum about this game, I had to check it out and I'm not disappointed. While I dislike that the teams only differ based on aesthetics and their uber unit, I like how the game is far more strategic and less random than Hero Academy. This game can be very unforgiving for those who aren't sure what they're doing, something I found out the hard way.

What's interesting is that I play as Feedback, and I do this for one reason: they look the best. I have used the Scrambler two times, once to test it and again to quickly take over a Bombshell my opponent had fortified on his own spawn point to win the game quickly. Aside from that one instant, I feel that the Scrambler is completely useless.

Has their been previous discussion about balance between these uber units? Bombshell seems to be the hand down victory when it comes to which is best. A 3 Life unit, long range, and AoE damage? Absolutely insane. I haven't used the Adorables, nor have I see the Mobi in action, but after reading the forums it seems like it's only truly useful in 2v2 for joining your forces and quickly moving power units.

And the Scrambler... has an average movement, 1 Life, and a range of 1. While it can outright 'kill' any unit (and if used on a deployed Bombshell, it retains it's 3 Armor Life), it's extremely fragile and it has to get right next to it's target to deploy. In my opinion, and maybe I just haven't played enough, the Scrambler isn't worth a 7 Wit cost. I suggest one of the three things be done:

List Updated: 10/23

1. Reduce the Wit cost to 5. As it stands, due to the needed protection and time to get within range for the Scrambler to be effective, it is a huge Wit investment not only to summon but to use effectively.
2. Make it's ability range equal to it's movement range. While still frail and vulnerable to Runners, it's range will allow it to serve as a sort of "one shot cannon", like a frail but more powerful Bombshell.
3. Set it's life back to 2. This will allow it to survive a single Runner and put it on par with the Bombshell, trading the BS's slightly higher life and range for it's power.
4. Keep Scrambler as is, but only reduce target's life by 1. This will leave Runners the same but otherwise reduce all other scrambled units by a single Life, giving them more survivability.
   

Does anyone have any replays of the Scrambler being used in a way that makes it's not worthless...? I can't justify ever purchasing one unless I have a lot of pooled Wit and he's got a 5HP power unit knocking on my front door, and even then I'm looking at a huge investment.

I don't mean to come on the forums and complain. As it stands, I'll continue using Feedback purely for aesthetics until Veggienauts are made available. That uber unit looks boss as hell.
