slider, i dont' understand what you're trying to say. It seems like you're asuming that the exploder's going to be a total idiot. you can't get a barricade if the other team already has one. And i can't always keep an eye on an enemy exploder in base when i'm fighting other guys, and a good exploder with a little teamwork and comunication will kill me and not his own teamates if i give him the opportunity. Of course if the exploder and his team are really bad it's easy to beat them. But that's true no matter what tank they have. Wherever a cp tp is possible for them they need only time it right and then get a little lucky. Though i will admit that taking cps from exploders is much easier than seiging a base vs one. especially if you don't have a flying tank. When you're in an enemy exploder's base at the same time you can try to set breakers and/or be ready to avoid a regular teleport you must also prepare for them to possibly cp tp to you (plus they might be using antigrav, infernal, schredder, goblin tank or something else which you'll have to watch out for). all they need is a little luck to get you. it's just too easy for them to defend in my opinion. Even something simple like a scout can kill you without you having a chance by netting you and cp tp'ing to you. Or just a stun from an allied tank of his as he cp tp's to you is an-avoidable sometimes. if you get a tp breaker outside there base to protect a tcc in order to try and bomb their base then they can get a lot of different tanks instead of exploder and still explode you easily despite your tp breaker.
Slider, i'm able to counter exploder in most situations and sometimes it is easy. however, like i said, i still think that in a close game the reconstruct can be imba, cp tp is overpowered for exploders, and not all exploding tanks can be countered esp by slow titans. If it's a close game and you're down a player and one of them starts exploding then you're really screwed. if you dissagree then either you're a better player than me or you just haven't faced a skilled enough oponent who's resorted to this tactic.
In my experience, a team of moderate skill can prolong a game for a very long time or even defeat a team over 2 x's their skill level with exploding tactics when they would otherwise be unable to compete. I think that this should not be the case. Exploders are way too defensive I think. They have waaaaaaay too many advantages when defending and they make the game boring for me. I can understand having patience is important. But doing stuff like just sitting outside a base for an hour with no chance to force a victory is really stupid.

Why's the rothchild family crest and the illuminati symbol on my 1 dollar bill? Why do rich and powerful American "christian" leaders have gay sex and worship a giant 40 foot stone owl at Beach Grove every year? Why doesn't anyone care?
