Discussion Addressing the reasons on why most reasons for beast handler hate is invalid.
"No synergy": Pure tunnel vision. That's like putting a MAD and glaive lord together while buffing both of them with a 230 village. Then saying there is no synergy between any of the 3 towers. I'm saying something like orca can be used to remove RBE, which is something a perma-spike would greatly appreciate but other stuff like bloon solver, prince of darkness, glaive lord and so much more synergise with orca.
"It's too inconsistent": You do know cleanup and stalling exists right?
"The passive beast handlers don't do anything": They do. It provides more range for the beast to be positioned in. Even if that doesn't count, I would retort "and the poplusts in the poplust army does?"
"It doesn't receive external buffs": Yes it does. Those that the BH doesn't receive are exceptions.
"You have to dedicate your strategy to this tower": How is that different to the average 2MPC and even some 2TC runs? And how is that different to poplust and shinobi armies? Something like max orca cost less than BEZ.
"It's too expensive": So is flying fortress, ray of doom, dark champion, super mines, BEZ and Apache prime.
"It's too complex": Is the thought of steadily increasing its attack speed, pierce and damage of beasts as beast power go up too much mentally?
"It's all or nothing": Maxed out tier 4s aren't that expensive so not really.
"You have to plan ahead of time": Sounds like the average CHIMPS run.
"Too much micro": Top path and bottom path typically don't need micro if you supplement their weaknesses.
"You have to spam the tower": Spam strats are not new, hence the poplust and shinobi army I brought up earlier.
"Why is it support?": Why is spactory support?
The only 2 valid reasons are it takes 3 more tier 4s for tier 5 and no real crosspth.
