I've been seeing these a lot more lately and I always cringe. It wastes the Griffin's mobility and wastes the light spots at the top if you use spirals because spirals are useless. Adding aphids means you need to get so close that it wastes the hydra's range, and players who know what they're doing know to hug the walls (and if they're not already, they will very quickly since hydras can only fire one aat a time) so at best only half your shots are hitting.

I could see it being a bit better on Moon Map, if only because 99% of the fighting is within 600m and it's much harder to wall-hug, but given how fast-paced and bloody fights there are (how many have you even seen last over 4min?), even if you are hitting every shot it's just not doing enough damage over time compared to DBs, PDBs, Carnages, and Magnum Leos.
