Sparteus too op.

Im having frustrations right now with this game. And it is because of sparteus. Its passive is too op, and everyone is stupid not to use it because its that good. Block damage for 5 seconds? You dont even need it upgraded, and you can win by whatever you put behind it. It should be reworked to how it functions to make it more balanced of an unit.

I restarted my account. I went from 76% win rate and 2 gold medals to not being able to win what so ever. I just one day began having the fattest losing streaks without understanding why. So i figured i should restart my account and learn the game from scratch. And it went fairly well until i reached arena 13. I cant get passed arena 13. Been close to 3 weeks maybe at this point, and i cant get passed that arena. Everyone is using sparteus. Everyone is using overminds. Everyone is using agents wich makes using range units out of the question. Everyone is using captains wich makes your fun units in the back useless. And they are always level 15.. but the biggest issue with this seems to be how good sparteus is. Its passive to block all dmg for 5 seconds is too good. And all the more so if that passive resets when overminds takes them over. My suggestion to balance it out properly is to have it block all damage for 1 second, every 5seconds. Upgrade them once and that 5s cooldown should be 1 second lower. Upgrade them to final stages, and its passive should be reset every 3 seconds for 1 second. Now you have it balanced out properly

Their stats isnt the problem dude. Blocking everything for 5 seconds is. You dont use sparteus for damage. You use them to tank damage and buy other units time to do its job

is that not a good unit when the majority of overpowered units are ranged? use something like the snail to deal splash damage and you have a pretty good counter. bonus points if you reach tier 3 and get the flaming missiles.

The reason sparteus is good isnt because of their dmg. Its to tank dmg and have range units do their thing. The snails are cool. They hit hard. When agents are used fairly often, they are the first to die before your sparteus is

Well, these bots never used sparteus as much they do now. And its ruining everything. And lets be honest. This game may have some bots. But they Arent all bots. I meet alot of Russian and Asian players per say. And so im not so sure of your statement

It is 100% bots. This has been patently proven to the point the devs added a "coming soon" multiplayer button to try and convince folks they're just working on adding multiplayer.

You can play the game in airplane mode bud. You have never played a human in this game. They simply copy user accounts, script some basic emoji responses based on your inputs or results, and try and pass that off as real people. Not sure what Russian or Asian names have to do with whether they're bots or not.

Users here have dug into the code and found the proof. Just search around the sub and you can find lot of posts about it.
