I'm more concerned about the Onos vs Babbler, I mean that big guy doesn't stand a chance fighting something that small. Elephants are scared of mice for a reason ya know!
Ooh. I got an idea. Playable babblers. Speed of 15-20. Does 10-15 damage a bite. Give them a big double jump so they can leap over a marines head. Super low health so if anything hits them they die. With enough skill, you can use the small size and speed to dodge everything and are balance by your low damage.
It's not going to work. Lerks and fades are practically unkillable, since their speed makes landing melee hits impossible, and even landing a few lucky hits they will have healed back up in no time using regeneration. We used to have fade or lerk duels on a private server. The rules were that you weren't allowed to use regeneration and you weren't allowed to leave Crossroads. The duels lasted 5-15 minutes. Now imagine what would happen when the players can actually retreat and heal themselves.
It would end up in the teams racing to kill the other team's hive, the only unit that doesn't move or fight back. And it would be extremely uninteresting.
