Much as I agree with the sentiment of Dusty that the game should be balanced for good players you can't just balance for the top 200 players.
You coin dota2, cs:go and starcraft as games that balance for top players but thats only true to an extent.
I'm L.eagle rank in cs:go, I definitely enjoyed the balance changes to the weapons back in 2013, im definitely not top 200.
Dota2, not sure on my rank but I was top 1% of players when the stats all got leaked last year, I definitely benefited from the recent patch changes (-lone druid aghanims buff ), I'm definitely not top 200.
I'm a big silver rock star Starcraft professional though so ill not comment on that.
Fact is, game needs to be balanced for people who know how to play it reasonably well, that is a lot more then the top 200 and it definitely does not just include AT. I agree the stats are skewed but in 3v3 and 4v4 there is an inbalance and it does effect people who are good enough to legitimately complain about it.

Thing is, top 200 is actually not a very high rank for 1v1. I'd rate top 200 as average/above average players, because of coh 2s very low playerbase. Yes, coh 2 should be balanced for people who know how to play it reasonably well. I'd say that anyone in the x <500 range generally knows how the game works
This is strictly speaking for 1v1 though. In 2v2+ the matchmaking is just a catastrophy so you could have some top 10 player stuck in 10000 ranks in randumbs
Also , leaderboards, relic plz

Long story short, the "pro's" aren't game devs.

Devs came up with stock elephant and doctrinal ISU.
Devs came up with 1240hp, 60 range panther with 7+ speed that turned into 2500hp 60 range panther at vet2.
Devs came up with 251 flame halftruck with firepower of 2 KV-8.
And that is just the opening of the list.
Devs don't lack their brain farts either.
Also, what you expect is impossible.
You can't and won't have a game with gameplay balanced around bads and good players equally.
You should NOT balance a game with bads taken into account unless your creating single player game.

If they didn't they'd get a declining fan base with a rapidly stagnating set of very good players with no fresh competition and a lot of very bad players...

Game should be balanced only for top because other loses are not from imbalanced content but of players mistakes in build order and bad micro.
Im talking only for 1vs1 perspective

i think the 3v3 and 4v4 tabs on the coh2charts at least prove that axis is easier to play in 3v3+.
the problem i see is axis is easier to play no matter your skill level in 3v3+. equal skilled allies team v. axis team = axis win imo.
