Melee, lots and lots of melee
Double ASM, Raptors, 3 hormos, banshees, 3 sluggaz, etc. So much melee that FC can't deal with it by him self

Only hope when playing against the king of cheese, is to go an equally cheesy style from the very beginning, and hope that your cheese will counter his
Re: Solution to Sniper Spam?
Just slit your wrists and hope snipers get removed from the game.
But more seriously, if they invest heavily in snipers then they become much more vulnerable to out-teching. Just going fast t2 with a vehicle asap.

Re: Solution to Sniper Spam?

5 spotters is a good spam as well

Problem is when he uses his cheese powered army to power bash you into oblivion, then he'll get to T2 before you almost no matter what
Re: Solution to Sniper Spam?
oh yea whiplash's cheesy marine spam is really annoying
Mahror actually beat him in 1v1 which was nice (his ID was em7, same whiplash)

Re: Solution to Sniper Spam?
Just be tanky and aggressive. Or fast tech for a quick vehicle. Snipers can't gen bash. The reason snipers are a problem in 3v3 is because their opponent may not know how to deal with it and lets them continually build up. They then just go around switching lanes taking out your teammates for a free win.
Re: Solution to Sniper Spam?
Just go into survival mode and try to out-tech them. Once T2 rolls around the viability of sniper-heavy builds goes down quickly.
Also just ban known sniper spammers from your lobby like I do.

I'd say far more room to evade them without having your gens bashed, more linear map layouts and less line of sight blockers are the main reason snipers are so broken in teams compared to 1v1.
Lets make Ordo Malleus great again!

Re: Solution to Sniper Spam?
Hey, I'm curious what the solution to this is as Tyranids.
So far the solution I could find seems to be lots of Hormagaunts (and don't pick RA), at least 3 or even 4 squads because one will get gimped on the approach. Then try to tech to T2 asap and get a guard out. The problem is they build a setup team and park their scouts around it so gotta work out some serious outflanking if possible. If they build two setup teams then one can get a las which gimps the TG. Building any sort of range or raveners against scout spam seems like a non-starter because half the squad is dead before they're even in range. I can't build zoans because a scout mass deletes it almost immediately, so it seems like Tyrant Guard is the only real solution but there's a shit ton of ways SM and Eldar can counter that in T2...
I don't think the MU is unwinnable but it seems like you have to play a lot better against a really cheezy army.
