Bruce I was expecting you to jump on the Blackbear OP bandwagon

But yeah Manticore got loads of buffs in 1.87 to the point of it being somewhat OP in certain scenarios against GLA.

OBLIGATORY MEME


Blackbear is bullshit in 1v1's, sometimes 2v2's but that doesnt also mean that it should loose to a manticore, manticores more multirole and could be resembled to an armored paladin in the middle of your blob more focused on healing and cant be sniped easily while sentinels role is being in the front and kicking ass/killing everything.

Manticore's balanced around the idea that it'll have an ECA blob with it and keep the blob alive with this.Even if you can use this as a spearheading tank, ECA doctrine suggests counter artillery with heavy howitzer/claymore bombardments and molemine/mortar truck fire to destroy defences.Then your forces go in and meet theirs, where they win because of the anvil and manticores silly advantages.Put 3-4 anvils next to your manticore, realise how unkillable it is.Or if your playing vs the AI or someone who cant or doesn't know to force fire on the ground then the same effect can be achieved.
