Yes, I was really hoping for a unit balance adjustment in the most recent patch. I played a few games this past week hoping that the game had shifted away from turtling, but it seems worse than before. If you want, I can post a couple replays where my opponent sets up an intended slow-push that I defeat with aggression.

The problem is more that turtling with bombshells is incredibly cost effective. Too cost effective in my opinion. On small maps there aren't alternative play-styles that are as safe as simply turtling with bombshells.

Mobis aren't really the answer, since they are so expensive to operate and there is really only 1 attack lane on the small maps. Once that it's locked down it's over. It can be useful on the large maps to simply flank the bomshell and setup a base in their base.

Also, I'm not sure why you are apologizing, you are using and enjoying an effective strategy. I really want to enjoy it, the feature set of the game is awesome, I just get frustrated with games that reward passive play.
