New patch, same story.
CA is in no position to receive buffs. It’s been unchanged since practically forever and never nerfed, and has been viable or meta in it’s current state for years.
Any claims that the CA and HCA has been changed from DE is baseless and without merit as we’ve had tons of time to confirm the precise opposite. If the unit is bugged, provide evidence and it’ll be fixed, as all bugs should be. We should not be buffing Cavalry archers for the following reasons:
- Base damage of 6 makes it deal twice as much damage to Mangonels as Crossbowman, making it possible with micro to reverse the counter wheel.
- High movement speed invalidates the generic counters of Skirms and Spears and forces opponents who want to eliminate them to invest into very expensive Knights.
- Masses in lategame are absurdly population efficient and making the cav archer stronger in the early game neuters chances of preventing these snowball masses from occurring.
If we need to go over these again because the peanut gallery wants to complain about some nonsense irrespective to the actual strength of the unit I’m going to save myself the time and copypaste the bullets unless something unique and reasonable is brought to the discussion. You guys have fun.
Here, since someone will want this, G1 in grand finals, Huns vs Chinese, Viper goes mass CA. Seriously can’t wait to see how someone will try to ignore this to prove their point.
