I could always leave the T/M crosspath WoF balance to others. But I'm sticking by what I am suggesting for base Wizard. Of all the base towers, Wizard gets the worst DPS/$1K this side of Sniper and Spactory, gets arguably the worst damage type in the game, and doesn't even have standout Range. I end up suggesting a more unique handling of upgrading where base Wizard has more untamed stats that are still below the curve while choosing a path reduces a given increased stat to the past value, but it would make Wizard upgrading more interesting when the stat changes would also have to be weighed against each other. In a way, the Magikarp Power aspect would still be maintained, but for the player to manage rather than just the game.

I did mention about the 2 round lifespan idea being on my notes at all. If it's been around since V18.0 as I can be sure, then no worries about it.

Players can always still apply decamo methods, but rewarding players for not doing that too early can certainly encourage placement and everything.

And thank you on the agreement about the M4+ buff ideas as well as Pat Fusty's Rallying Roar self-buff idea. For reference about Pat, I think he's actually good on his own when his range doesn't suffocate him, and it even gets to the point of letting him bank on Round 63 of all moments if his support is decent: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xUAErm4DAI&t=10m7s Of course, gosh does he feel incomplete regardless. The Rallying Roar self-buff idea of double attack speed would fix that when the player would be rewarded for timing it with the compliment to his already above-the-curve DPS against floods. It would even let him want to consider juggling between support and frontlining, since if he is in a more mixed position, he could use RR to pull his weight against a threat of choice. Suffice to say why buffing Pat as a solo Hero would help regardless.

In the meantime, I posted my thoughts about Sub Commander if you're interested: https://www.reddit.com/r/btd6/comments/hichsq/sub_commander_rebalance_points/
