Blizzards were removed due to popular opinion. That is a fact. You cannot argue that. Saying that "you can't imagine the majority would dislike blizzards" is therefore simply incorrect.
Furthermore, if it weren't for the "cancerous competitive players", the game would still be in an unbalanced state. The game would likely still have useless MGs and super powerful infantry from USF and OKW. People would be blobbing infantry through Blizzards and using B4s precision strike to win games. You have the cancer of the community to thank for increasing the balance of the game so that you "common" players have less to cry about at night. You're welcome.
Ok, but that popular opinion is wrong. Sometimes it happens, that majority is wrong, you know.
As I said - Cold tech provided you more tactical and strategic opportunities and possibilites. Of course, in general it all was "slowing, bad, debuffing, random, whateverelse...", but it was fair, because:
1. It affected not only you, but also your opponent.
2. It provided you not only weaknesses and debuffs... but also profits.
But people ignore that, they prefer to have simplier and less "distracting on unusual and unpredictible situations" gameplay. It is stupidity! "We don't want to play in difficult and skill-required game, we want it be easier, cos... I don't know, we are lazy, or we are slowpokes, or we are retards", whatever.
Even if people don't like Cold tech - it should be moved back. I can't say, that I liked it too much, because each time, when blizzard comes, you simply couldn't use artillery, cos accuracy gets -1488% debuff and cooldowns are large. But... I dealt with that somehow. Such as I dealt with freezing infantry, or slowing in deep snows. Deep snows are not only slowing, but also can be used for hiding troops and for making traps. Again - plus and minus at once, not only minus, you should only be able to use that plus for your own good. If you can't or don't want to - don't blame game in your fail, blame yourself. And don't ruin game after that.
