Meh it's just been pubs an' all, and it has been "rush" mode..... so i guess it certainly does "rush" things along..... but i'm going to just put the thought out there to possibly nerf Mortar Teams.
In this game, and in a few others (this has worked pretty reliably) i've developed a strategy for Rush mode that has proven somewhat overpowering to most opponents (not saying it itself is definately overpowered, but it has proven very strong).
Start with Heavy Tank.
Skills: 4/5 Missile, 4/5 Mortar Teams, 1/5 Cannon, 1 in ult.
Buy: Troop Command.
Tp top/bot, quickly take control point and 2 towers just b4 enemy base.
At this point u should have enough money to afford a Mortar Team Item.
Buy it, and decimate the other side in the same fashion (now being able to have 6 mortar team units at a time + the building armor reduction), but this time, go all the way to the 2 factories in their base on that side.
From there, it's relatively easy to gg in < 20 min, at least in the games i've played.
Obviously they were just pubs and all, and perhaps Mortar Teams are perfectly balanced at higher skill lvl's of play, but still, i did wish to mention this.
Here is a replay of a 15 min game with me doing this.
