hydras are possible to evade - often by wall hugging. you're just doing it wrong.

or you have a fat bot, or you're using the wrong wall.

and if a hydra can hit you - a spiral can too. Spirals are just somewhat harder to aim, given that they are all fired at once.

and the thing about the comparison to noricums - while noricums actually do suffer from the weakness of being unable to track targets moving straight towards/away from them, they have comparable DPS as a light weapon that can attack from longer range (with less risk to the pilot).

also, i believe part of why they've gained popularity is fragile bots (spectre) and hard-to-hit bots (dashes)

but while I do accept that you find them irritating, I don't like the amount of hate they recieve - they've always been designed as support weapons and counters to light, agile bots that are otherwise hard to hit - and now we have large agile bots that are hard to hit and twice as durable as the light bots
