The main bad thing which can happen to a Darklings player is that there's no leech/TP companion (especially on the base map on the eastern continent). But that's unlikely since said leech/TP companion (especially when grey) benefits just as much.IMHO, a nerf of the Darklings (even if it would be an over-nerf as with Shapeshifters) would help to turn the whole meta around - I'd expect that Engineers would also become weaker on the base map as their preferred partner in crime :p would be picked less often.
