(only to take my thoughts into consideration for possible change or to clarify on information I'm missing out on that makes the meta fair)
(I'm not expecting change :') )
Issues I want to make aware that I cant find on the internet. Problem being that of the Aeon Acu's Rambo combat effectiveness. I've tested all 4 Acu's and from descending order from strongest to weakest Acu are,
Cybran Acu - Effective in health attained through upgrades, stealth and 4000 dps microwave weapon (able to kill a GC, if positioned behind the GC and using overcharges.)
Sera Acu - Super Nano upgrade, double gun upgrade, highest regen, high health, massive dps, 1600 I think.
UEF Acu - Shield, Nano repair and +dps gun upgrade. can excel through billi nuke (long range)
Big Rant Incoming!
Aeon Acu - Nerf on shield, has omni range and gun speed upgrade. Aeons first shield upgrade is weaker then the uef's shield upgrade, double shield much weaker then the vanilla, not much different then the Uef's shield, bubble shield stronger then the aeon double shield. Aeon commander doesn't do enough dps to another commander with nano repair as the other Acu has higher health regen then the dps of the aeon commander even with overcharge thrown into the mix.
I understand that the Aeon commander has the strongest early game effectiveness but it is completely blocked out by the Nano upgrade.
Aeon commander upgrades that are never used. AOE pulse that does small damage and stuns near by units. this upgrade is never utilised in online.
I also understand that the Aeon commander is more effective in Ras and ARas unfortunately the Sera Commander can do that too and it is the second strongest Acu and would be the strongest if the cybran commander didn't have a 4000 dps beam.
I would like to see unutilized Aeon Commander upgrades to be swapped out for more appropriate offensive (Rambo) upgrades. I wouldn't even care if the salvation is taken out of the Aeon with the useless upgrades and the upgrades that make the Aeon Rambo commander more effective to be higher in cost
- Revert aeon commander shield back to the original or increased to (shy face) 68,000 hit points - increase cost (as the aeon commander could be more tanky, with the price of the personal shield upgrade as well as energy to run the commander shield. other commanders have higher HP then the aeon commander.
- A better source of damage, double dmg gun upgrade with 2 levels of rage increase upgrade - make more expensive in cost
Aeon are my favourite, but not utilizable to match my Acu play style and in my opinion seems unfair.
vanilla showed Arnold using his aeon Acu to spear head the assault on black sun, not to be seen by any other race.
would like to hear your thoughts on this
apologies for facts like dps numbers HP numbers and upgrade names I didn't use, wrote this in class XD
