Well if you cant get your teammates to defend you, then effectively being alone against someone who took the right tool to counter you is aggravating. Never tried it, but I think a single stun spell does the trick. And besides, I rarely killed someone with above 15k HP with this technique, because of weapon range, creeps and just simple teamwork.
It could use a little nerf (mainly about the time, about 20-30% less should be good), but overall I find the skill a lot less effective than the way you describe it. Different experiences with it probably.
Besides, I even WELCOME such a skill in the game because it provides a counter to tanks that are so powerful they can go solo against the entire opposing team. With such a skill in the game, they need their teammates again.
As for the grav tank, I think you greatly underestimate it. My point is not to compare, but to illustrate that no matter what skill is used, when used at the right situation and correctly, can be a certain death. Some are useful in certains situation, useless in others.
But of course any argument that involves TEAMPLAY in a TEAM GAME as a basis for countering tactics should not be used. How inconsiderate I am. It's like saying buying teleport breakers to prevent exploders from wasting your team is a valid argument against a exploder, or actively protecting weaker members of your team is time well spent. (sarcasm off)
So, in short:
- Move as a team (dont be alone, with stunners if able)
- Get more HP (through hulls or better tanks, 15k HP+ recommended).
- Hugs your creeps
And there you go, the skyfortress goes from 1v1 rape artist to normal 16k tank. Which is always dangerous.
