Starladder Format and HP Improvements

[St.Guardian 514]

Hello is it just me or has anyone else noticed that there are currently barely ANY vikings in starladder? These days everyone else is using the "legendary" hunter which I understand, but I do miss the old days where starladder was more varied and balanced. Nowadays there are just around 3 hunters in Star Series and the rest are XP or BP. Even in AM series people are still using 5 hunters and Savanna which is a bit odd. Developers as Viking is losing its popularity, could you all boost the health just a little but more? Perhaps up to 280 to boost the popularity of Viking as you said you had to with heavy hulls?

 

One other thing is the ability to practise in a format battle with Starladder format. There should be a format where there would be Wasp, Hornet, Hunter and Viking (m2-m3) and Railgun (m2-m3). Also, only m2 hulls would allow protection above 35% but if you were an m3, it would have to be 35% and lower. NO smoky would be allowed in this format as it would be unfair if too many players wanted to be smoky.

 

What do you all think?

For SLTV, it's not the health that stops people using it, it's the speed. Viking with armour is too slow for a SLTV match considering you will have BP's speeding around you. Hunter is the tank players use to do the heavy attacks with full supplies. By the time Viking gets the supplies and goes to the base, they will begin running out and it will be destroyed too easily. However, I'm a big Hunter fan so this might be biased, but it's what I think :)

hmm ok cool but then maybe they could decrease the speed of wasp and hornet by perhaps 1 Meter per second? Or increase viking's by perhaps .5 metres per second?

I dont mind if you increase Viking's health if you increase every other hulls health...
