Hydras were extremely effective in TDM. They could pick off enemies and get those kills without any risk.

It was a moderate risk, no reward, as opposed to high risk high reward in being a knife-fighter.

The problem with Hydras is not the physical part of them, but the mental part of them.

Well, ok. And the physical part of them.

But mostly, it's the feeling of getting shot by a Hydra player. You see these missiles going around terrain and shredding your bot, and it's just so infuriating, since you can't get out of cover, and this Hydra player is just sitting there.

And then, when you die, you feel cheated out of your bot.

So yeah.

I mean, frankly, it's not very different from being killed by an RDB or Trebuchets.

Also, Galahad shield doesn't block hydras. Wut.
