Yes, agreed. I only used the vityaz before the speed update, since it moved at 39kph at levels 1-2, with more hit points than the slower golem, and I could match both light guns together (two crvs for a trident, two piñatas for a thunder, two gekkos for a trebuchet.

However, with the new speed update all the mediums are nerfed in speed at levels 1-2, and while the golem and vityaz say they run the same speed at each new upgrade level, the golem is clearly running about 6kph faster than the vityaz and what the game advertises.

I am now enjoying the extra firepower of the golem on the medium weapon (like putting a reloading orkan there for when my thunder/piñata is reloading, or putting a tulumbas with my trident and crv pin so they are firing mid range rockets at different times and confusing the enemy).

Rather than nerf the golem's new speed, I hope they add that little extra speed to all the mediums, so that they truly are in between the speed of light boots, and the fast heavys now.

Best setups for a golem: Thunder/taran/mag (for lower tiers to take out faster moving targets or taking out multiple opponents with less cover and little reload). Thunder/orkan/piñata (for higher tiers to take out enemies faster before they can fire back and penetrate shield bots and rhino and raijin armor, where you are facing one on one opponents with more cover to reload). Trident/tulumba/crv (amazing for mid-range support at 500-600m from high bronze tier all the way to low gold tier. Great speed, but less hit points than a boa.)


 * A zeus is also great to have on a golem for mid range support up to 600m with molots, tulumbas/crv, or hydra/spiral, if the hydra gets buffed with the next game update). The best all around silver paid bot for silver tiers before the griffin starts to shine higher up.
