The Rog isn't viable in gold and above for the simple reason that the Galahad/Griffin and Aphids become viable in gold and above.

Below gold the Gal and Griff simply aren't competitive as they bot and wep levels just make them sluggish targets that can't hit back hard enough.

Below gold the Aphids are only at dangerous levels on the Gepard. Once in gold, the Aphids are available at high levels on all bots that can use them. High level aphids are a jumping bots nightmare, as they turn their main asset into a liability (as the jump trajectory lands you in a place that is usually 100% hittable by Aphids for the 2 seconds you are standing still).

If you couple the emergence of the Gal/Griff and Aphids in gold, its easy to see why the Rog simply disappears after the high silver tier.

IMO, the Rog is a useless bot and a waste of Au as the game currently is set up. I say this because MM makes the Rog viable in only 1 tier - high Silver. Below that the Rog can't compete with the tri-mag Gepard and above that the Gal/Griff/Aphids eat them up. I never see a hard core pilot in gold/top tier using a Rog, as a Rog simply can't hold a precious bot slot given the options available in gold/top tier. Anyhow, who would consider using 2500 Au on ANY single item that is only good for 1 tier?
