The game is dead anyways, sometimes is better to just bury the dead and forget about them. The balance has become worse and worse with every patch, I remember a brief time where it was actually fun to play - just before the stupid Brits were introduced. From then on, it went downhill.
No the game was at its bests balance wise directly before the launch of OKW/USF. Mainly playing 3v3/4vs4 and OKW was owning that matchups so badly shortly before the launch of brits (stats of winratio). Brits turned this upside down on release until they were nerfed and players get used to them. With brits game balance is still worse than before the addition of OKW/USF but at least its not that bad anymore. All this asymmetrical faction design is hard to balance. I always thought it is a bad idea to make some factions good at early and others good at late. There are other RTS, that prove that factions can be different without having such strong differences of dominance at early/mid or late.
