A flame war? Without me?
We're aware of how overpowered this particular setup in TD is and it is being addressed. Stats won't be reset, since there are no rules being violated.
Jokes aside, it's nice to see the staff are aware and even though Tacosbefriends gave us a soon™ response, it's nice to see they actually know about it. I was kinda hoping for stats reset but it's not really important, I'll just look at the mob summons leaderboard which is actually legitimate.

My apologies, but you seem to be talking about something you have not seen. If you had been in at least one silverfish game, you would know they are in fact not "eZ" at all (the 50% health bonus from Hardcore makes that even worse). You cannot really "adapt" to the situation since there is only one way to do so and no other. You need to know the counter which is very unintuitive to beat it. If you care, it's quite easy to find a silverfish game : look in TD lobbies for Obsidian players and join the same games as them. They have around a 50% chance to abuse the synergy, get on the opposite team and watch the events unfold.

I don't want to get involved too much, but let's compare a controversial voting option (such as OP mode on Eggwars) with one that is actually broken, the Quick Start + Hardcore synergy. When a donator votes for OP, sometimes people don't like it. However, if you happen to have 1000 Eggwars wins but see OP for the first time (not likely, but it's a simulation), you can still pull it off with your amazing PvP skills, even though it's the first time you saw that mode. On the other hand, Hardcore + Quick Start
cannot be beaten even if you have 1000 tower defence wins. There is an extremely specific strategy you need to use (described
here). This would be considered
bad play in Normal mode. You literally need to know the obscure counter, and if you do, in the end it turns down to 70% click speed 30% number of players who know how to survive the rush. I'm not saying it's impossible or not fun, just that it's not Tower Defence. (Seeing the obsidians rage when you win is quite something). You have a donator rank, so you are free to vote for whatever you want, just know that a lot of people will dislike your doings since this has the tendency of making people quit TD. Sorry if you feel like I'm trying to correct you, I'm just saying that controversial/difficult is very different from broken/unfair.

Goodness! And I thought following obsidians in their games only to try to beat them at their own game was taking it too far... It's nice to see how determinated you are to end this exploit once and for all. While I agree with almost everything of what you said, try to keep things polite, since we will only acquire a patch by keeping calm.
My apologies if I sounded VerySmart™, but I just wanted to put my two cents in this discussion.
