What are the "competing" titles you speak off?

You trolling, right?

As for the commanders, they aren't so bad anymore. The OP Elite Troops and Soviet Industry were nerfed in the February patch, plus there have been 4 free commanders as well, which really added flavor to the game, so much so that I have become a supported of the commander system; It adds new units, abilities and keeps the meta from becoming stale - As long as the commanders aren't OP.

All in all, the game is in a really good place right now; enjoyable and balanced. Western Fronts looks promising as well.

COH2 goes like this:

1) Make a lot of infantry.
2) If you're Ostheer, you get maxim or conspammed. If lucky, you fight some cars, which gives you lots of map control.
3) If you can hold on, as Ostheer you get 2 paks and an AC. Soviets make AT guns if their mines don't kill your AC.
4) You make Elefant in 2v2 or 2 Tigers in 1v1. If you're feeling really lucky or want to troll, hold out for Tiger Ace.
5) Soviets make ISU or IS2 or Shermans. Everyone's infantry now dies because Relic didn't want us noobs to have to micro both infantry and tanks late game, so the tanks obliterate all the infantry now.
6) Heavy tanks shoot at each other till someone wins.

I'm sorry I won't be giving it a try until all the DLC commanders become free or are removed.

I'm not bothered about the commanders being OP as such, it's more the principle and how it affects the game competitively that I don't like.

My 2 cents: Relic should be concentrating on growing the player base. Judging from Steam it seems the player count has peaked already. I know a few other people that stopped playing too who would have stayed without the DLC commanders.

There are no tournaments apart from SNF, which is telling.

That's sad for a game which is not even a year old.

But I'm glad you are having fun. I wish I could

I'm not trying to be rude, but it sounds like you'd enjoy SC2 a lot more than CoH2. There's nothing wrong with that, but personally I find SC2 incredibly boring because the lack of flavor and variety.

I'm not trying to beat up on SC2 because it's a good game in it's own right, but it happens to be the perfect example of this. It's usually a pretty well balanced game due to the fact that there is less variety. Think about all the different little things that you can do with your army in CoH2 to customize it and adapt it to your individual play style. You can even change the appearance of your units, and the performance of them very slightly.

Those sorts of things make the game more interesting to me, but they do inevitably cause balance issues. Some people thing a perfectly balanced game is more fun, others think a game with more variety and flavor is more fun. There's nothing wrong with either choice, but I happen to fall into the latter group and prefer a game like CoH2 to SC2 - even if the balance does suffer.
