Oh god don't make me lock this thread too. Replays only.

[pip]

Yes please, replays and their analysis only in this thread, not reharshing of the same old arguments from the previous thread. This would be pointless.

Enemies were idiots. Pink overextended way out of his depth and deserved to die. The second to die also had no AA to speak of. The last opponent quit, but I think it would have been interesting to see of you could snipe him past his AA.

This was correct use of Mercies. Those players deserved to die.

In this replay mercies were used exactly as intended. In this replay gunships would have just as easily finished off Snake's ACU which had extended too far. In this replay mercies provided the same role as gunships. In this replay what is the point of having mercies in this game? Please remember this only pertains to this replay.

Pilot watch this one plz. Matrix gets mercied on 16:30

10 mercies for 15k hp acu under 2 mobile shields and t2 flak (flak hasn't made a single shot, even 15 flaks would do nothing). Matrix was agressive, but not "rambo style" agressive, it was pretty careful push, gunships wouldn't kill him and Matrix has more than enough skill to dodge t2 bomber projectiles.

Funny

But what's so wrong with the mercys?Well, on GPGnet they didn't build them so much because they wasn't needed.On FAF all want to pwn some commanders to get the points But because of that you want to nerf them?Each (unit)/Faction has their own OP units Like from the cybrans the fast and strong ML.

Evil_Mind: another perfect example of mercies working fine. He had no radar, he had no air cover, and he had no T1 aa, yet he was still pushing. matrix even complained in chat that his ally did not provide adequate air cover. eXxited put in a ridiculous amount of mass to counter his push, and it paid off.

Zock: It took how many mercies wasted to finally get through? Isen saw your previous snipe attempts, and did not make the proper counters for them. You were ahead in mass as well. Again, nothing new here - equal mass in a drop or T2 land, for example, would have ended the game just as well. More ints, or a single T1 AA, would have saved Isen.

I submit, for your replay viewing pleasure, a replay of my own, showing how to properly push and defend against mercies. The snipes start at ~12 minutes, and even though my micro and positioning wasn't perfect, it was enough to keep me alive.
