The fact that NinjaKiwi has made a game so balanced that there is almost no update that is useless (aside from faster darts) really just goes to show just how much time and love went into the game. Keep up the great content ISAB, and I hope YT sorts the shite bot comments soon.
the darts being faster thing you mentioned is not useless in the slightest, it helped improve the consistency of dart monkeys in more difficult maps such as expert chimps maps, and it was needed for a while, not only are they more consistent due to the faster speed of the projectile they also have longer span now, which allows them to snipe bloons on different tracks.
Laser blasts is much worse, it's ONLY a stepping stone and nothing else. It is quite literally a downgrade since it gives the same amount of pierce as the super range upgrade which is cheaper and also loses the ability to hit purples. Therefore it's completely useless (and don't say 1-3-0 robo cause knockback is way more value than +1 pierce.). Not to mention laser blasts also loses the ability to be sharpened by Geraldo 😭😭
I feel so dumb now, I used all the same towers but put them i different spots and instead used razor rotors for camo lead instead of a second jug, then sold for infero ring and mib
