I think Implosion was put into game for the main purpose to fight agasint Legion of Skels!
Without Implosion it is difficult to defeat a necro army with legion of skels.

when I make a map, I disable implosion.
why?
it was never in HOMM1 or HOMM2, and it only places a CRUCIAL demand for resurrection or animate dead.
One of my pet peeves: A battle that involves implosion and resurrection, there's NO fighting, and the winner is the hero with the most spell points! 
I do not believe that 3do intended to program battles like these.

My opinion..
Implosion is the highest level spell, and the only time I consider it "deadly", is when I use it! It's all in the spell power.
It wouldn't be so harmful unless the heroe deserve's it to be.

Implosion
I don't know about this one...
I have seen many armies hit with the infamous implo.. but its nothing a res, animate can't fix
true its a little disheartening when you see 600+ go down in one blast. but I hate it more when those 600+ skels kill my 10 gold dragons in one shot..
And honestly I would be much more afraid of chain lightning...
BUT lichking -- totally agreee Armegeddon is awful.. GRRRRRRRR is right!

just me two cents
Implosion can win a battle... espessially if you have a full magic hero (expert magic, lots of spell points) BUT it can't be as irritating as Chain Lightning... at least you can Resurrect an Imploded stack Imagine trying that on four or five stacks...
BTW: Armageddon is good ONLY if you have Armageddon's Blade and/or Blackies ...if not, it sucks...

Lith,
... don't you forget Gold Dragons, Efreet, Fire Elementals and -last but not least- golems! 
But yes Arma CAN unbalance a game.. maybe that's why it is disabled on most ToH maps.
Implo is ok.. if u don't want to see your 1000+ skels killed this way, get yourself recanters, orb, resistance, cast anti-magic (exp. earth should be no problem with necro) or - of course - animate dead

hehe
Implosion is a fine and dandy spell and to add a bit further into hmm2 vrs hmm3 imp was not as needed for the masses of skels necro can get cus necromancy was not as refined as it is in hmm3... ontop of that since hmm2 was THE diplomatic game u can easily amass troops just as fast as the necro. Armageddon true is a powerfull spell but think more on this only the fire elemental, efreets, gold drag and black drag are imune.(i am not posting with sod reference conflux) I can sometimes see why armageddon is disabled on some maps. Arma is the last option spell if ur gonna die but have some immunity arma is a good choice.... nvm i am goin way off topic again.
Imp is a fair and ballanced spell just overally used by hit and runners and newer people cant figure out how to defend against it early on in open maps.

I support Armageddon ONLY because it was part of HOMM1 and HOMM2.
And for some reason when I get the spell "prot from earth" or "anti magic" , I can never get earth magic.
Or when I do get earth magic, I get these spells:
lvl 3:
- frost ring
- land mine
- forcefield
lvl 4:
- inferno
- water walk
lvl 5:
- water elemental
which spells do I want: prot. from earth, anti-magic, teleport, resurrection, town portal, and (of course) implosion.

I think Implosion is very good, actually is very very very good...Just try to do the campaign "Dragon Slayer" from AB without the Implosion and you will think diffrent. As for your skel' you could have used AntiMagic or Recanters Cloack...I supose if you only had those...

I KNOW that Dragon Slayer campaign. Played it twice, and I tell ya it is the most annoying campaign ever!
However for that campaign, I would say resurrection would be a bit more important than implosion.

Yeah, dragon slayer
Dragon slayer was one of the one's I gave up on when I started Homm3. One day, I picked it up, got through, and I'll tell you, if you might up Dracon, that implosion is wicked.
I thought the best part was "tacticly" fighting those ultra horde's of naga's! The implosion meant nothing to them! Nothing!
The only thing that mattered to me in those battle's, were blind, ranged attacker's, and.. well.. Some may not like if I give the other thing away.
But yea', Dracon was wicked with implosion.

against the 3500 nagas ... and later the 3500 naga queens, I found that the best spells were:
- Clone
- Bezerk
- force field (VERY useful)
- slow
- blind
implo doing 3000 damage would only kill 27, while bezerk would kill 106 (assuming they're in 6 groups of 583).

(Dont let the avatar confuse you. This was japangamer)
Now that I remember correctly, I used all of those except force field. The battle field made it, unnessesary.
I thought I was a goner, until I realized "BLIND!"
I think status spell's are far more powerful (and cheaper) than implosion in many situation's.
(Sorry about the confusion, I made up my mind w/my avatar though)
