Never implied that shocks were op. Just saying that shocks are better than pgrens, and they should be. I had to explain to Rollo, who obviously should spent some more time playing, that pgrens are not better than shocks
He tries to explain you that PGrens have other applications. You can't use shocks on the defense from cover, you need to charge with them. ALWAYS. It is only niche they cover, of course they are better than PGrens in that particular function.
But this doesn't translate into "shocks are better than pgrens". If unit X can 1v1 unit Y doesn't makes statement "X is better than Y" true. That's debatable.
Just because PGrens can be also used defensively
I'd rate them higher than Shocks too despite the fact that Shocks can 1v1 them. I'm with roll0 on that.
