Mirror Match

To get a game BIG in esport the game must first and foremost be FUN, it must be mad FUN and still require insane amount of skill.
(...)
By pushing CoH2 in an esport direction by cutting out the fun parts (like no-mirror matches), and im sure the same guys wants fixed damage and and so on.. then at the end the game stops being coh, and stops being fun and you can have an esport game with 100 people online top peak.

I enjoy the asthetical part of coh very much. Both in single- and in competitive multiplayer (the latter only enjoying through streams/shoutcasts, though). If people don't mind when one ostheer commander goes crazy and attacks another general, ok, but for me that's bursting my suspension of disbelieve (and it's tested by silly stuff in coh, as others have said).

So as an option: I why not. As a standard: no please.

P.S.: To many posters, pls reconsider that many many people play coh (and coh2 in the future) that want different things out of the game. I feel that there is much exclusion in some of the posts here (quoting randomly: "who cares about 2vs2 and up anyway?!"). People play comp-stomps, people play 4vs4, people play the single player, people play highly competitive, people play the scheldt. Deal with it. And please look around and don't think your way of playing is the only right way to do it.

Most of those users stopped playing coh years ago. The people keeping this game alive is the competitive community.

- If you want to play normally in ranked games (only Russians vs Germans) you DO NOT check the "allow also mirrors" option, and your experience will stay "authentic" and you will never play mirrors and you will never feel your game ruined. You will be possibly matched vs everyone searching with your opposite faction, besides checking or not the "allow also mirrors" option.



- If you want to play mirror matches in ranked games (so Russians vs Germans and Russians vs Russians and Germans vs Germans) you DO check the "allow also mirrors" option, and you can play with everyone of your opposite faction (between those who didn't want to play mirrors and between those who wanted to play ALSO mirrors but got a non-mirror matchup) and everyone of your same faction (between those who wanted to play ALSO mirror matches).



It's not hard imo, it won't split the community and everyone would really be happy.

scheldt players would love mirror matches. Then they could all play brits.

Think of vCoH US vs. US; how boring would it be to see BARs vs. BARs, followed by M8 vs. M8 into sherman vs. sherman?

the problem is that the randomness of the RNG will become too prominent in the matchup and you cant rebalance the faction to accommodate that, since it would effect both sides

tournaments are not a lifetime of matches however.

im not for taking rng out, im saying mirror matches will be decided more by luck than skill which is a problem in competitive play
