I'm really glad early onos play is no longer possible. I've had plenty of great games so far. People are using fade and lerk more and no more ridiculous shift egg spam into marine base.
Most games I've been in almost the entire team saves for onos thinking that they gotta pull it out because the commander may not be able to
One game 7 people went onos at the same time. . . 8 in another
Marine team basically just ****s themselves
I've also been seeing alot more Fades hitting the floor. . . I saw 6 in one game and I think that is a record for me personally seeing that many alive at one time<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I think that was the joke.... did you see the picture in the op? lol

i know people fear it, but with pretty late onos, fades may have to be slightly buffed... this was an issue before, but onos and exos weren't really involved...I feel lerk is fine, maybe lower the res to 25... we don't need to always stick to NS1 res.....

Well obviously your team just didn't have enough Onos to win!
I've got a fever, and the only prescription...<i>is more Onos!</i>

The problem being...?
Let's be honest, Onos desperately needed a nerf. Not only did it make every other life-form obsolete for nearly any task the Aliens may need doing, it was technologically available too early at a modest price. Moving the cursed Onos Egg to third hive tech means Aliens will have to actually play as other life-forms to control the map, where as before it a no-brainer decision at the mid-game.
The Onos Armor nerf was needed as well. This will force players to refrain from sloppy play and teach them to not over-extend while driving 75 resources.

Onos been around for a while, doubt she is off any time soon.
