i dont see it. right now a 200 point squad have damage outputs in excess of 500hp of damage in one round. how much time would it take for an epic to fight back? 3 rounds? how much damage would a single epic have to deal with to gain a victory? the fact is unless an epic is just stupidly powerful, no epic can repel "fire power of that magnatude" that is the essance of competative play right now. what im saying is even if epics were made legal, few, if any squads would have to change much to face an epic. all the things that are auto includes to most squads would be effective already against an epic.
cannons, towing, swapping, diplomats, override, bomb squads, direct damage, and so on are all competative build ideas that would still be effective against an epic. i dont see anybody saying that "if you dont build a hate squad to face GMLS, you wont have any chance at beating him". all epics are in the 100+ point range so that lone epic and a few fillers with have to face down and win against a 200 squad?
agains im only speculating, because i have no idea what a Gamers epic will look like, but im hoping that they will be balanced enough to be competative if the game ever went in that direction.
anyways, im actually having fun speculating on this, its been way to long since i actually was looking forward to somthing being released for this game
