It is not uncommon for, within 2 minutes of one Paragon being completed, another 3 are complete too! Your enemy then has 4 Paragons worth of resources between them, with the ability to construct a new one in under a minute... Trust us, it is by FAR the most effective of the Game-Enders at the moment, especially as I have not seen Mavor or Scathis actually END a game in, oooh, 3 years?
This, really.
Paragon is already on the cheap side of game enders, and it already practically gives infinite resources due to the scenario outlined above. Also I've seen a Mavor get held off by a Uef player shield layering on Roanoke - and we all know how good Uef shields are.
Hell I've had about 4 Aeon t3 arty get held off by a cybran player that layered and assisted his shields (cybran shields!). For that mass I could have already had a paragon and pumped out salvations, nothing stops that.
ShadowKnight is practically proposing a nerf with the bigger explosion and nothing else being different in actual practice, which is good, as it is a difficult unit to balance by nature.
On another note: what about the salvation? I imagine it should fall somewhere in between the Oss and Scathis in terms of cost and effectiveness, making it a more viable option to rush one instead of paragon --> salvation spam as it costs more than a paragon now, which is absurd.
Nobody expects the mercy inquisition! Our chief weapon is surprise, surprise and fear - our two weapons! ...and ruthless efficiency - our three weapons! Fear, and surprise, and ruthless efficiency and an almost fanatical devotion to the aeon - four!
