the raijin is a very good close combat fighter. If you think a little medium bot with 182k health (including the shield) is better as a close fighter than a robot with 250k health (not including shields)? I don't think so. The carnage has less health than a Doc or even a mid level boa! In any close fight, its shield will get ripped up before you can say thunder and your robot will be next up, getting 5 shotted. The carnage is better as a treb, zeus or trident user than a close range comat bot. The raijin with its shields can sit an the enemy's spawn point and eradicate any robot that respawns in the area. And if you say that carnage has a better shield because it can protect from all around, well remember it has less health, and plasmas are still a very common weapon type. Raijin is immune to tarans and magnums while carnage is not. Orkans are not as common in the meta as most top tier players use lancelots. And on those lancelots, anciles and tarans since they have a higher dps and want to max out the highest possible double medium firepower. Even with two full max upgraded orkan dumping salvos off a chubby lancelot will still take 5 orkan unloads to kill a max health raijin. However, a carnage can easily be killed like a twig.
