Unit Pricing

[aaronINdayton]

Sure, Runners get used a lot, because they're super good! But soldiers are the counter, soldiers destroy runners. The reason I personally build so many Runners is for map vision, I have to have vision of the majority of the map at all times, or else I build another runner. They're also great for medic/sniper diving, equally great when buffed and killing other Runners, taking wit spaces, covering enemy spawns, all kinds of amazing utility!

But, if you only build runners, you should lose. I rarely build runners for combat, only when I can spawn one and reach the conflict and do that 1 last point of damage to a heavy or soldier. Combat wise I roll the other units and compliment the fight based on the circumstance.

About the Super Units costing 7, I'd like to see how it'd work if they only cost 5 or 6, and I'd even be curious how the game worked if Runners were only 4 move/sight. But I'm sure all of this was hammered out in Beta. That's what the Beta was for, right? It's way too early to be asking for a Runner nerf, a Super Unit price drop, or anything else for that matter.
