Pfff, aphids need to get nerfed? Dont get me started on trebuchnets. With aphids, you have to get in close range, within magnums and taran range, and all 8 missiles dont always hit you if youre moving, even for slowish bots (32 km) if they ate moving side to side. They take like half damage.

Aphids are not perfect. If you shoot them at someone under a roof, aphids dont shoot straight, they always curve up first so it hits the roof instead. This is a problem at certain parts of some maps.

Its fair game. They have to get close to you. You can catch them and hit them woth something else like missles. A great counter to them since you can hit them out of their range so they wont even think of going around the corner to hit you. With hydras, trebuchnets, and spirals, you cant even touch those noobs because their behind their teammates. Those are the real noobs, not people with aphids.
