>>16770260No. They keep fucking up the entire genre with stupid aoe magicshit and over-emphasizing microing in fights, when micro is strong anyhow.
It's fine that exists, but it should never be the case you just press a button and make everything rout because dragon elite unit spew fear-flame attack after charging for 3 minutes.
Same as they've wanted to turn every single rts into a a shitty League of Legends clone, entirely hinging up muh clever trap card ultimate unit ability meter is charged, now I just take out 10x the cost of my units because pressed button.
Focusing on econ and macro should matter. Maneuvering and that meaning more than formation should matter. and yet every new rts is matters less and less and becomes more about squad micro. Make sure aoe wizard has super-bomb charged and make sure he's in the center of the group. Big brain.
It's how you get bullshit like late stage CnC that doesn't even really have resources, and units are just handed to you to micro around, pretending obvious unit/spell combos aren't obvious. It's gay. Might as well be a 3rd person shooter already.
