Posting in stealth buff-allies thread.
But seriously, the matchmaker % is situational and we cant infer preference, much less imbalance, from it.
We sure as hell can....

Sure, you can claim the world is flat too.
You can, but it would be idiotic to do so.

Permanently BannedQueenratchet, when was the last time you've seen Axis dominate competitive play? The answer is, that has been a long time ago. If you take a look at the recent events/tourneys, Allies is very much the way to go if you plan on winning...Ostheer especially has taken a serious hit and is more or less boxed into 2-3 viable commanders, all of which revolve around the Tiger.
I play more Axis than I play Allies, yet I am generally higher ranked with the Allied factions. Its true that this appears counterintuitive, but the remarkable thing is that in this case faction preference seems not to or only marginally correlate with success rates at the higher levels of the ladder.

1v1: so "few" people that numbers go to either faction
2v2: "german/european" time, Axis tend to have a higher % American prime time, number tend to be a bit more equal
3v3+: axis axis axis...
Whoever plays this game and it´s not a forum warrior knows this due to experience.
Does this means that theres a huge player difference? Nope. But it's clear that theres a PREFERENCE.
Does balance have something to do with it? Not neccesarily.
Theres a difference between asking for BUFFs and making a faction more appealing to use.

Meh guys, tone it down. You know what they say about fighting on the internet - not that I've never been guilty of that.

Maybe the 9.9-patch will increase the interest for allies?
