HAVE YOU EVER PLAYED AN RTS GAME OTHER THAN COH2 ????
Yes I have but thank for askings. The fact that COh2 was closer to a beta than a balanced game did not help, nether that fact that Relic introduced 3 different faction with completely different mechanic. Or the fact that some of those faction lost their unique features and went closer to one another, or did the fact that Relic continues to overnerf or overbuff things, nor that most patchs come with game breaking bugs.
Balance patchs are continuously need to fine tune units or to shake stale meta if the factions are balanced but units are not equally cost efficient.
On the other hand Relic imo first should fix long lasting issues like bugs, veterancy bonus and abilities and other issues that makes certain units or commanders unattractive. These changes are overdue and can remain untouched for several "balance" patches.
