If the focus is actual balance then I would hope they do use this method. Anything else would be foolish.

I don't like Gaurds Motor, but right now it might be the ONLY good doctrine for Soviets.

Unfortunately, we don't have that data yet. Why don't you ask your buddies at Relic to pass it over? It's only data right? It couldn't possibly harm them in any way. Well, unless the data suggests things are skewed in a very clear direction.

Really awkward how people can explain away such an obvious advantage in team games, even with a ton of data.
It's like listening to someone try to convince you that the sky is actually green, and you're only perceiving it to be blue.

Devils_Brigade: man captain molo why dont you just buy and m3 drive that around instead of playing coh

Nope, you're describing a quasi-balance, where only the skilled will see it.
True balance would involve all players, regardless of skill and faction choice.

Nailed it. The attitude of "well, only top XX skilled players count towards balancing" is doing nothing for the over all health of the title. Should a paying customer not have a fun experience no matter the skill level?

Here we go again, the Relic Dusty conspiracy of Axis buffing or some shit. Didn't expect any less from you lot.
Keep grasping at the straws of the hidden data conspiracy though.

Just because people resist learning the game properly and continue to play Axis over allies and vice versa, doesn't mean that we should cater to the LCD. Your perceived notions of balance can be completely wrong if you aren't a good player.

I would love to see what you think is OP in this current patch Tatatala, what specifically do you think is causing this discrepancy in win rates?
Posts: 4951 | Subs: 1
I haven't got any concrete data to work with, so, I can't say with any certainty what it is.
My best guess, is a mixture of lots of things, from ease of use through to maps.

Why did you make this thread then? If you have not played the game to see what is OP and what is not how can you make informed statements about balance?
Statistics are supposed to be part of and support an argument they aren't supposed to be your argument.

Jesus Christ the hostility. Simmer down folks, we're all adults here.
Tatatala, Dusty has it right though. A game featuring dissimilar factions and asymetric balance intrinsically needs to be balanced towards the most skilled if it is ever to be competitive (or an actual e-sport), anything else would be self-defeating. Why?
People who play the game seriously with a mind to winning will necessarily shape the meta, and if the balance at the highest levels leaves to much to be desired, they will leave the game, and in consequence the game will stagnate and die, thus compromising the very goal of a competitive scene.

So the health of a game is dependant upon the top 1% of players? Ignoring the clear balance issues the other 99% have to deal with?
Seems logical...
FYI this game is never going E-sports dude. Ever.

Ostheer actually got the Alpha fixes it needed to be competitive while every other faction got left in the dust.

Maybe the 99% have to skill improve first before juging balance ?
