Guess you have a boy crush on me too, and think I care enough about you to give a damn.
Sorry, nope. Go vent your frustration on your boyfriend. Im here to discuss game balance, not how much my butt hurts.
@Blovski:
Good point about the time required by CEs off the field in the interim.
Interesting conondrum!
This is one of the things I particularly enjoy about Relic games, since their balance systems are so complex and self-adjusting. These are elements of the game that are pretty progressive regarding asymmetricity,and because they are so unprecedented, they defy the more obvious intuitive explanations, but are nonetheless clearly considered and "make sense".
So CPs vs buildtime. Hmm!
I just was surprised to see the difference in CP generation, since its not something I had even considered before. The editing of that cast provided a realtime view of CP generation, whereas before I had presumed, incorrectly, that they would be equal.
Im ok with Sov generating CP faster, due to buildtime vs Ost non-build phase purchases. Makes sense.
Especially considering the unusual tier split choice Sov has to make.
I just hadnt even remotely considered it as a factor before.
Definately something worth paying attention to though, and increasing awareness about, as there are some significant timing advantages to be had from it that may significantly diversify the meta.
@DMeets: Shreks are a no-go vs KV8. No matter that the KV8s retreat dmg potential is too high, Shreks will NEVER be an answer to KV8s. Not on cost, not on purpose, not on anything. KV8 will always, even after the inevitable nerf, be a complete and utter infantry counter.
