If top 200 players are just doing okay but the 5000 players below them are struggling more with the micro of one faction there is something fundamentally wrong.
And this is why this game has so little players still playing and why it's going to only get worse. This always happens to games which cater only to the supposedly "good" players according to rankings, completely disregarding they're all biased as hell and aren't a representation of how most players actually play the game. Not to mention the idea with all these "community patches" seems to be to just make everything samey and almost mirror matched because that's what competetive - boring ass meta units and builds.
