Why does UWE prefer marines?

1. Egg regen was lowed by 25% so many patches ago cause skulk would rush in a 6v6 match and own. We will never see that again in a pub server.
2. Why can marines climb walls? Rephrase that climb anything that has a slant.
3. Almost every vent in the game marines can get into, while this is fun as a marine, come the F on.
4. Maps are be made for marines and while blatant marine plus's are fixed, subtle ones are put in (i.e. docking, courtyard is a massive marine advantage).

    do you really think they'd spend nearly half a dozen years making this game just to purposely make it one sided? get real.

    I'll take you as a nub then, I've been around too. They may have spent 6 years or so making this game but only the past 2 or 3 months have mattered. If I remember right the ratio was 70% marine wins and 30% alien loses in patch 223. Just a few weeks ago.

    Neither of you are new, but one of you is insulting and hyperbolic to the point of incoherence.

    Pretty troll post, as obviously they don't have a "favorite".

    but some of your points have already been addressed:

    1. eggs were just buffed by 100 HP (350 HP now instead of 250) so it's much harder to egg lock
    2. unfortunate side effect of the physics
    3. Map Testing has systematically been examining a lot of this, Docking was just updated recently and you'll notice there are very few vents that marines can easily get into.
    4. This is just ignorant.

    I'm going to lock this. I can't see this thread going anywhere worthwhile.
