Poll: Aim the Nerfbat of Damocles: AI-side (III)

As for the Ravenous Shadow - I think the player really needs some way to distract or delay the golems in this scenario. The shields you can spawn barely do anything until the golems start working on the starbases, but with the firepower the golems have the shield isn't really any more than a speed bump. And since the golems are much faster than your champion, if you go out to try to save the enclaves you'll probably be way out of position when the golems start working down the starbases.

I never had much of a problem with this scenario, but that's because I tended to use slicer drones as "target jammers."  It works just as well with enemy bases as it does the RS. On the whole, drones are way more effective at reducing enemy dps than shields...plus, they do a little damage themselves. And reduction in enemy shot volume means that when you do place shields, they last a whole lot longer. Which makes sense, considering that drones go into the same spot as a shield.

However, I'm not sure this is still valid, as it seems like drones have possibly been nerfed heavily lately(?)
