Either way, if a lot of compstompers vote (or whatever, maybe just whine on the official forums) Relic can't just ignore them, and how will they know who's a compstomper?
They won't know who's a compstomper, of course. But I never said they should ignore compstompers, I just said that if it came down to popular vote, CoH would be 3v3 annihilation matches on The Scheldt with tons of artillery and computers playing the Axis so that everyone can go British or artillery side of American Infantry doctrine and spam howitzers.
I'm not saying Relic shouldn't do that - I'm just saying that competitive players like one thing, and the majority of CoH players like something else. Even if everone's not a compstomper, competitive 1v1 ladder matches are hardly the most popular thing for lots of RTS players because they are intense, high pressure sorts of things.

wrote a great guide about The Scheldt in fact! And Inverse made some video guides. This was way back in 2011, like end of March/early April or something. And even before that it was Vire River Valley in vCoH that filled the same niche.
