Please help me, Mechabellum is ruining my life

I…don’t know how this happened. Really, I don’t. The last pvp game I spent more than a few casual hours on was, without exaggeration, Halo 3. I have spent almost 20 in strategy autobattler Mechabellum since Sunday, exclusively 1v1-ing strangers. What’s scarier is that I even win sometimes. I'm vaguely aware that autobattlers have been a thing for a minute already, but I think this might be the evolution of the RTS I’ve been waiting for? It certainly feels like everything I’ve ever wanted from competitive RTS, minus needing to have any sort of reaction speed whatsoever. It is turbo crack, I tell you. Nay, it a thousand flame mechs laying waste to turbo crack city.
