Allow xeno evolution regardless of caste/remove evolution tree

How could you not enjoy drone gameplay and enjoy Hivelord’s? Impossible, thus problem stated in the first post doesn’t exist. Burrower is a hybrid between support, ambush and frontline, but the main issue I have is having ability to plant weeds and make tunnels.
No backliner should be able to sneak around and then evolve into support T2 to plop weeds and make a tunnel. If a drone, or actual support T2 can’t slip past marine frontline, then runner, sentinel, or defender shouldn’t be able to do it and then evolve into those squishy and slow castes.
I can already see sweaty runners finding themselfs a dark corner, weeding it and making a tunnel as a burrower, something that would not happen otherwise.

Builder players might dislike drone since the structures are way worse.

Last I checked burrower is the best “sneak around” caste since it literally ignores terrain to teleport, non-issue unless burrowing was removed.

I dunno where you got the idea that evolution trees are some conscious balance choice or that it actually affects what people do. Its just not true. It predates the existence of several caste and especially their current state and popularity, so it’s not “well designed that warrior cannot become a ravager”, it’s just you making things up.
If people don’t want to play or die as a runner, they will simply afk in a safe spot or run around doing nothing, applies to all t1s/t2s - it’s not an “achievement” to afk in a corner or spit from max range till you get to evolve into a boiler lol
The TL;DR is that it’s a well written schizopost with no basis in reality.

He is super vulnerable after resurfacing and can’t ventcrawl.

Gameplay is nearly 1:1 copy, if such person exist, I am sorry for their sad existance.

Ahh yes, calling something a strawman argument rigth before admitting to not even read said argument. Truley, the sign of a master wordsmith.

Your rigth, people that buy mechanical keybords to lower the latancy of their inputs for singleplayer games. Because we all know, PvP comp players are well known for only caring about fun and not much about playing optimaly. Because “people arent always to optimize, especially in multiplayer games.”
Thats why the very high competetive scenes of multiplayer games, are well known for being generally the most friendly part of the community.

I could go on and on with that one. Its wrong so many levels.

Also nice job on repeating me. Maybe try not to repeat the concept of player freedom impacting balance with the only new additions being lack of examples and insults. It usually makes your argument seem more petty then anything.

Only thing of note i can add that i havent said before, is optimisation doesnt only refer to the most optimal route objectivly. Thats why i made such a point of it that not wanting to change is also a big part. Cause once you have the optimal route for yourself, you wont likly change out of it unless forced to. Yada yada, read previous message again.

Maybe you should have chat gpt explain what the import distinctions of anwsers and statments are. Then you migth know that an answer “lmao” to a stament has generall only one form of information.
That its meant in a mocking fation of disagreement without the deisre to actually provide feedback with relevant information.

aka: you dont want to argue, and/or you dont have an argument. One makes you a dick, one a dick with no clue. Pick your poisen.

The logical conclusion of the poor decision to allow literally everyone to evo to prae.

Not terribly fond of this one.
