Why is this a good thing? Just means the worse player gets an advantage for playing bad.
It's about spamming heavy tanks/call-ins and trying to wipe squads with RNG bullshit. Getting vet is meaningless in CoH2 when you get it so quickly from everything.
Certainly true, the CoH2 commander system had some potential. If only Relic actually balanced them. Right now 75%+ of all commanders are useless and everyone goes the same docs in 1v1 anyway. Docs like guard motor are the best choice in pretty much every situation.
Because everything has AT. There is no more strategic depth to teching. You can't get outteched because AT guns are so easily available and every basic infantry unit has really good supporting AT. Besides, getting your infantry crushed can easily be avoided. They get crushed because you play bad, same in CoH2.
CoH 2v2 meta was indeed boring, but same goes for most of the 2v2 matches in CoH2:
ostheer: spam grens + paks/mortar/HT -> call-in or close air.
OKW: spam volks -> elite inf and eventually KT
USF: spam rifles -> stuart or m20 -> spam jacksons + M4 + paras/1919rifles.
soviets: double sniper/T2 -> guards -> call-ins
Same thing in CoH1: Stugs, panther/p4, paks, schrecks, kintiger, mines, goliath
CoH1 has a boring meta, especially in 2v2 (which elitemod certainly changed quite a bit), but is still by far the superior game. The level of competition of CoH2 is virtually non-existent but when my mate asks me to play, it's gonna by CoH2 every time because at least there's still players playing 2v2s there.
Comebacks are still extremely difficult in CoH 2. Sure you are getting more manpower/minute but you have to push into squads that get to camp cover, you've almost surely bled more MP since you're losing, you don't have munitions for things like mines, off-maps, weapon upgrades, etc and you will be at a major fuel disadvantage. Come-backs are exciting to watch and keep people motivated to always try hard to win, even when they feel like they're in an unwinnable situation. Losing quickly because you can't even field an army is not fun for the players and it is not fun for spectators. The only way any game can be majorly competitive is if enough people like to spectate, because that is where the money lies.
Call-ins/heavies have definitely plagued the meta for a while, can't disagree with that, but hopefully Relic will address the issue in the future. We as the community have made our voices heard numerous times so the ball is in their court now. But to suggest that veterency is meaningless in CoH 2 is nothing short of completely ignorant. Vet is *extremely* important, and is probably the biggest deciding factor in games. I'm not sure I've ever seen a game where some one wins with a less vetted army...
It is hard sometimes to keep your squads alive but this patch is better than any other that I can remember in terms of squad wipes, thankfully this is something Relic can easily continue to improve upon. If you're playing for the "save me RNG gods" squad wipes, sure you might win every once in a while, but it is easy enough to out-play people that this isn't really the meta at all.
CoH 2 commander system is way better than vCoH's doctrines. Sov and Ost have numerous viable commanders, USF/OKW are more limited, but they also have way fewer. (Off the top of my head for Sov: Guard Motor, Shock Rifle, Soviet Shock Army, Guards ISU, Shocks ISU, Tank Hunter, M4 Shermans, Advanced Warfare... plus a few more I'm probably forgetting) the top two are probably Guard Motor/Shock Rifle but the other commanders definitely have their place, and are in some situations better than the two most used.
Rifles don't really have good supporting AT, you can easily get out teched - it happens all the time. That statement is just false =/
Your analysis of the current CoH 2 2v2 meta seems very wrong. Can't remember the last time I got a KT as OKW in a 2v2. Ost T3 is very viable, as are call-ins (of course). Soviet can do anything except T3 in my opinion - Shocks are Guards are both viable now.
As for the level of competition in COH 2, if it is as nonexistent as you claim why aren't you and your mate even top 25 of the 1v1 or 2v2 ladders? Well, maybe you are under a different name? But I don't think insulting the top CoH 2 players with a blanket statement like that is wise. There are a lot of extremely skilled CoH 2 players.
