Quote:still waiting to see a single good use of the Snail in about 40 games

A well-placed snail can block off a large section of the board for you. Especially if you are able to get it defended and out from your base a little bit.

Try getting close enough to one of the opponents wit squares so that your snail can hit it with splash damage. That makes it easy to take and hold with a scout or two.

I will say it depends on the map. I've used it mostly on Glitch and Peekaboo and a little bit on Long Nine.
