2 hour stalemate due to mines? That sounds like some people were too careless to spend 1250 (or 3250) to get rid of them.
For me, using a remote fuse to blow up mines in my enemy's face (or his teammates) is probably the most entertaining aspect of the game. I always get a kick when I get kills off of the items he purchased - especially when his teammates start yelling at him to sell the damn things. So what if you have to hold out on a Basic Magic or an Iron Hull - for 1,250 gold one of their teammate is rendered completely useless, it's an excellent deal and great fun when you see people avoid their own team's mines, especially when they can't enter a choke point in fear of being blown up. :lol:
The remote fuse can be used every 20 seconds. The mines have a 50 second cooldown... So I don't quite understand how he's able to throw down 3 mines for every time you can defuse a mine. At best he can throw down 15,000 gold of mines and a grab a Demolisher to throw down mines every ~12.5 seconds, but that's just a waste. If someone is defusing most of your mines for 1250 (or two players getting rid of them for 2500), you're better off spending your money elsewhere - like a Demon Tank or a Laser.
Mines are fine, maybe even underpowered - having a mine defusing unit is plain overkill. Just because some players are too lazy to change their strategy a bit doesn't make them overpowered.
