In my opinion it's a mix of both, it's possible by all means to be the best of both worlds, or you can focus on one function. Think of it as an army...say a BM-13 is a shooter, a great one for that matter...and then you have T-94 which is a a heavy defense robot in our case. The BM-13 picks a spot to hit its target while the T-94 makes its way to the BM to terminate it. (or knock off course in our case) The BM-13 by no means is a heavy armored vehicle because its built for one purpose...eliminate from long distances. Say we had all BM-13's on the field...it would be a weak resistance on each side (depending on how the BM-13 (a shooter robot in our case) is built) If we had all T-94's, (say that t-94's can't shoot) it would be all pushy pushy shovey shovey and no fun fun. So to even it out the BM-13 eliminates its target while the T-94's job is to go after the BM. I think what it all comes down to is a good balance of both sides. Defense can be a dominant part of the game but a good and fast shooter can be just as good. A Bm-13 can shoot 8 consecutive rockets (balls) while a T-94 will shoot one and it'll take long to reload but that one shot is enough to eliminate or knock the bm off course. (just like a strong tourqey defense bot spinning around a shooter or pushing them away)
