I mean, for a 5 year old game, retaining that amount of people is remarkable.
cult following. i frequently ask myself why im still plying yet start it up just the same...
Maybe right before WFA was released and Ele/ISU were nerfed ?
Commander diversity is a bitch to fix, but you can at least reduce the gap in power level between meta commanders and non meta ones. At the end of the day, there's always gonna be a tier 1 commanders but at least we should had a healthy pool of tier 2 and niche options. Also not all commanders should work on 1v1. It's fine that a pool of commanders are only good for teamgames.
EFA commander pool is FUBAR due to the number of them.
For the 8 pool commander factions, if 4 are viable picks, 2 niche and 2 work mostly on teamgames only, i think it would be fine.
ive always ALWAYS said that if they balanced the factions without commanders against each other using JUST their core armies then commanders would be a breeze. you wouldnt have to worry about "well you cant nerf the puma call in because now ost will not have any light tank counter" and stuff like that. if the cores were strong and balanced commanders could be isolated when over performing commanders would be about choice and flavour and tailored play styles instead of required to stand the test of meta and stand a chance.
ive bought many commanders and hve yet to be able to SERIOUSLY pick many of them because required tools are absent, and that shouldnt be the case
