Absolutely agree with you. btw, did you notice that the now runes have no bonuses for siege? I think it connects with less popularity of this troops type, but I hope they add this.

I really like siege units and their bonuses against infantry, but they need much more time for good knowledge.
Anybody use t1 siege units for attack?

Hi! I use t1 siege only for yielding. And I'm sure that the most of us do it too.

I have seen people use siege for farming unshielded towns for resources.

I do the same. The best capacity but not so good movespeed. Anyway lost t1 this is not so big affliction. 

My whole army of 40m trips of which 30m is t1 is just siege nothing else (not counting scouts) . I am very deadly, I can take any single hit.  However the runes are a game changer and someone with t6 melee plus attack runes for them presents a huge problem. Therefore I started working on it too so soon my army will be half melee too with t6. There are no runes for siege like you mentioned and t6 siege is not viable at this time, its literally last in line even after killers.

So my opinion siege are very good at the start of the game but late game if you don't have the coin for t6 upgrades and unless they bring us siege runes melee is a way better option.
