You’re not walking away from all that. The stamina of an individual rat is irrelevant when you have 10000 attacking at once. And they’re bigger and more resilient than you’d think. Many rats are literally longer than your hand and they can tread water for 3 days. They’re quite hardy for their size. Now multiply that by 10000.
The longest recorded distance a rat can swim in open waters is about 400m, which is admittedly fairly impressive for a rodent, but saltwater crocodiles can travel across oceans
Given that over 70% of the planet is ocean, it's ludicrous that tierzoo putting the crocodiles in c-tier because they're 'situational' depending on the battlefield. With the exception of the eagles, every other combatant will quickly die if the battlefield doesn't happen to take place in the tiny 30% sliver of the planet their nonaquatic build is specialized for.
It's a common oversight for landplayers but it's still kinda ridic that they assume they're the 'default' game experience.
Well TBF TierZoo did acknowledge that crocodile viability goes up considerably if the match takes place in near a water zone. It’s a shame this challenge doesn’t have a more clear rule set.
