I just realized why everything seems overpowered.

No one does anything about it.

Oh, theres a lazer guy. K, ignore him, cause he totally wont cease fire just for me.
(lased)
WTF THE LASER IS SO OVERPOWERED.

This is what EXACTLY happened in a game of mine except replace Laser with a Scorpion.

the Data Core was on the stairway to the phantom
okay guys, last stand, 30 seconds left, lets go! GET THE DATA CORE
(DATA CORE TAKEN)
(SCORPION BLOWS UP CARRIER AT DISTANCE)
(3 seconds later)
(DATA CORE TAKEN)
(SCROPION DESTROYS CARRIER AGAIN)
(another 2 seconds later)
(DATA CORE TAKEN)
(FUCK MAN DO I NEED TO REPEAT MYSELF)
Whiny kid: MAN THAT FUCKING TANK IS SO FUCKING OVERPOWERED FUCKING GET RID OF IT REAAAA (quoting his almost exact verbatim lmao)
Me: (facepalm), yeah yeah yeah, i'll go jack it, brb.
(destroyed)
(core taken)
(core captured)
Whiny kid: man why am i doing all the work on this team.
Me: ...

See, if I know there's a laser up, I attempt to find him and avoid vehicles, not just grab a vehicle and hope for the best.

Also, invasion is fucking amazing and you suck.
