The population growth formula just doesn't make sense. But despite having used it myself and experienced its goodness, I have to say that it's a very tiring build. I don't care if you have to macro it with some program, but the process of abusing the formula is relatively long and repetitive. On top of that, it's not a good build for hitting, which is unavoidable towards the top (the only reasons Billmaan was able to stay there with his hoes build was that everyone was so busy hitting us SYN people, while I laid down a "no hit on forty-four" rule very early on in the run).
Making hoes build weaker is not necessary. Hit-and-delete tactic should never work, because otherwise it'll just become a simple resort for people who can't compete at the high levels to take revenge easily.
