Saving up for a frost?

[jonjon]

Won't that just cause the Demon tank to become the 'new' final, constantly spammed tank? After all it beats the sky tank, and pretty much everything lower, bar the earth robot.
The most expensive tanks available are almost always going to be the one spammed in 'late game'.

No it wouldn't. As you said, Demon is effective against Sky (or Air tanks) but can be beaten by a few tanks such as Goblin Tank, Hunter and as you've noted Earth Robot. Just because you get a Demon doesn't mean you can beat everything lower. That isn't the case with frost. Frost is so much better at assisting team mates ganking and slowing multiple units with slow-aura. Not to mention the specials that can wipe out fully built mid level tanks. It really belongs in the final tier of tanks.

what about winning the game before the other team can buy their frosts? If you have a squad of demons, and manage to take out their team twice, that should be it - go in, take down their main base and win.

It's only in hb games where the time difference for the extra 3k is so small that destroying the base is not possible, and the game isn't balanced around hb anyway.

Yes, that is true (besides the fact that it is way too easy to defend) but that is not the point I am making here. The fact is, some tanks will never be used because of frost. A frost with almost nothing is way too available and way too effective against those who like to use medium tank builds. I'd like to see some smaller tanks being used in battle more often. And if someone had to get a frost, they'd have to make the upgrades like others.
