+1 Wits: Why is it a mistake?

It encourages fast paced games and aggressive play, and also allows specials to be spawned much more frequently. Lets face it: if you rushed a special before, chances are your opponent will simply swamp you with soldiers before you can make any use of it. Not so anymore if you can get a few early kills in.

As for turtling, why discourage it at all? Turtling is a legit strategy. There are bad turtles and good turtles. There are tricks to maintaining a turtle wall and smashing through one, knowing when to hold a line, and when to go for a full out attack. It is a deep, competitive strategy. Why do we want all maps to be ultra fast swap fests? Let the turtle maps stay, I say. It is just another play style. There is no 'better' or 'worse' playstyles. Only ones that work, and ones that don't.

Spawning early specials is a completely viable tactic. Bombshell and especially scrambler rushes were and are still very deadly. I first got rushed by Harti with a bombshell (Although I guessed it's position
right so took it out) and then p1noyboy just crushed me with a turn 7 scrambler I think which wowed me and made me rethink uses of specials.
