Im really surprised that people think soviets are the strongest in 1v1, did not see that one coming lol

Second poll in two months that shows the same result.

Infact the results are remarkably similar to the previous poll with about 180 votes total iirc.

I'm actually surprised that people think OKW are the strongest in 2v2. Finally found someone who plays allies to AT with (as double soviet) and we fought primarily OKW and were consistently kicking the shit out of them. That being said, our one loss of 7 games occurred when they got a stuka out.

Didn't even realise it would end up as a reverse popularity poll until he said it. I just hope people don't vote the factions they hate.

Welcome to the CoH2 community, where people hate each other over faction preferences, because they equate faction preference with a political statement (and not just gameplay preference). Another great facet is that it prefers to flame and hate on other people (and Relic) instead of trying to improve the game.

Such polls in the forums, like the petitions or whatever are never representative. Relic can easily judge the strength of the factions by evaluating the data they get (split into low / mid / high / pro ELO levels) and then probably just ask a few players they know as reliable / unbiased. That should give a vastly better result

I really don't know how they balance the game but there is stats provided by someone on official board (top200).
And according to this stats, the only more or less balanced game mode is 1v1 (pre-patch), just soviet a bit a head but because those stats are made from the top 200, and well a good micro sniper is a good advantage that's it.
But all teams games are totally dominated by Axis.
And almost everyone know why, best cost effective units, strongest, less micro dependent, no weird tiers, better synergies etc.

Wait till you get a proper ELO, wait till you have 20games at minimum with your partner.

My controls weren't working
And if they were, you were playing dishonorably,
And if you weren't, you were playing without skill,
And if you were, it's not fun to play that way,
And if it is, you only care about winning.

Bible of Scrublord, Psalt 3:16.
