2v2 is done

Really really really silly and flamy post.

Name one occupation where 700 hours is "not enough experience". 700 hrs is more than a month straight of playing if you played 24 hrs a day.

Hell even learning how to drive doesn't require 700 hours before you're an "experienced driver".

700 hours is more than enough to be experienced in a game.

The balance in 2v2 at the moment is the worst it has ever been, by a long shot. Germans have zero answer to any skilled British players, their snipers are borderline invincible. Match those snipers with US riflemen and the game is just hopeless. I've played roughly 10 2v2 games as axis in the last 2-3 days and haven't managed to win out a single game. Admittedly, I'm no pro, but I do have 700 hours in the game and an equal amount in the first CoH, and consider myself a fairly competent player.

Something needs to change, and I'm not touching axis again until it does.

Do think that these win rates are all wacky because all the OKW were trying out the new doctrine that horribly sucks and the USF playing the New commander at is absolutely superior?

ummmm im sorry but 700 hours is not a lot, reach around 1200 hours and you can consider yourself an experienced player, all i can say is stop playing axis like you were used to. adapt , or find yourself a good player mate.

Actually the common metric is it takes 10,000 hours to be an expert.

700 hours is only 17.5 weeks of work. Someone who has only worked ~4.4 months at a job is hardly what I would call experienced.

At least part of this is due to ELO inflation of the LeiG meta.

That doesn't make it right, I know. Just saying. Grit your teeth, smoke and flank, and wait for better days, soldier.

Did you spam ISGs last patch? If so, reap what you sow.

This is correct, 700 hours is a long time. Also keep in mind, and I know this may be harder for some people to understand, but I've played other RTS games. And see you learn things from playing other games as well, because believe it or not COH is not some alien game, it does share lots of similarities with other games.

Also pastasauce its a good idea to link your own account or show some stats when making claims that someone elses experience is irrelevant. Helps give some credibility to the statement. And also if it took you 1200 hours to be a good player, then good for you, I've been a good player since hour 1 of playing COH2.

Hours are meaningless.

I've played maybe ~2000 hours of Dawn of War 2 collectively over the last six years and the guy I play 1v1 against where we go back and forth on who wins and is top level 1v1 play is at 10,226 hours total. Fairly equal in skill level, but he dwarfs me in sheer hours played.

Likewise, there's a lot of players who have double, triple or way way more hours that still play like mid level players.

It's all about how you use it.

i agree with you, most good players can have a "bad day" but im just pissed ppl complain about something and wait that relic changes something before checking if they doing something wrong.i just want ppl to understand better what involves being a good player. ( and im not talking about meta abusing)

Fair enough, but when it comes to gaming, esp non professional 700 hrs is a lot.

None of the CoH2 players here are professional - they can't make a living out of CoH2.

I absolutely agree with you. I think a lot of people have the wrong attitude calling for buffs or nerfs rather than trying to play better.

Honestly playing axis right now gives my more pleasure than if was before patch. Centaur doesn't wipe all my infantry anymore, croc doesn't wipe whole pak wall in 1 sec, pak howi doesn't kill all my infantry before even face the enemy.

I don't mean everything is fine, there is still a plenty things to balance ( like for example: 280MP for British AT gun which has features like axis one and cost 40MP less ).

Guys but most of all there is counter to everything, the key is to find it and use it correctly.
