Increasing speed can also lead to increasing skill gap.

What about nerfing the rifle?

Nerfing the rifle would have an greater effect on the game than increasing dretch HP.

I do realize that, but I believe that currently rifle is simply too powerful for it's cost. For a free weapon it's really effective against not only dretches, but also against maras and even goons. Pack of two rifflesuits is capable of killing a tyrant without that much effort. Maybe I'm going offtopic here, but there were (and are) discussions about underpowered dretches. Note that dretch seems balanced in fight against lasgun, shotgun, whatever. The rifle is the problem.

I think dretches have too big amount of credits in them, 180 is enough to buy psaw + armour. 1 dretch is certainly not an equivalent to 1 rifleman.
If humans push-on early in the game with riflemans, as a rule they get to S2 earlier.

i think too many things nigh instantly kill dretches.

i think of the dretch bite as a median-ranged ultrasonic sound wave (which ruptures flesh).

Amazing how everyone attempts to avoid the question. It's a very simple problem: A dretch is less than one foot high, yet it can reach a human player's head and achieve a critical hit from the floor.
Uhh i kinda measured the dretch hight, and it being 30 units high and a human 54, that totally is NOT less than a foot high. In fact, that's the size of my lego table! (half as big as me, and i'm slightly short for a 15 yr old). Also, it was kinda hilarious how the old 1.1 granger was only a few units shorter than a dragoon and taller (and fatter) than a adv marauder. Good old fat times.

Shouldn't every human within the dretches range be killed?(e.g. the dretch bites a human, while sitting on a human's head (not biting).

Dretches aren't as good in dretch storms, especially againts things like shotgun, painsaw, luci and flame thrower. Rifle storms usually rape dretches unless they don't know how to aim or they got screwed up mouse sensitivity (e.g. the mac's mouse is REALLY dodgy, it has its own version of cl_mouseaccel and accelerates in squarish numbers, and also, the sensitivity gets turned down to default when in the game so system settings don't interfere with it unlike windows, so no point of me turning up the sensitivity.

______________________________________

Was that last paragragh too long? Read this instead:
Point 1: Rifle raids rape dretch storms unless the riflemen are noobs.
Point 2: Relates to point one, complaining about how shit the mac mouse is.

Broadcasting ultrasonic waves to all directions is a total waste of cellular energy, unless it was developed as an evolutionary trait in dretches that were grown up in the conditions of some invincible godmode marines constantly raping them in packs of 10.
the mac's mouse
lol.

You make up Qrntz, u always angry, just calmdown. :police:
