since you cant read: i talked about the non nerfed scott.

Yeah, I read your post:

1) You didn't say at any point of your post that you are talking about prenerfed Scott (before february). The only hint is the word "fired" instead of fires. Thats not very clear.
2) You replied to comm_ash who was takling about performance of nerfed Scott, so your claim makes even less sense.
3) Prenerfed Scott couldn't fire at ranges over 100 either, so your argument is still wrong.
4) Your argument keeps beeing wrong even if you repeat it like you do at post #55.

Current Scott has no blob control, the whole faction only finds this mechanic in Calliope. That is the basic problem. Not only in playing the faction but also in playing against the faction. Do you want to play versus Calliope for lifetime?

I'd be happy ro find a patch note for axis only dmg reduction only if I have access to old balance patch notes.
It seems all is lost after site rework.

Fear not brother, nothing is lost. Here you find all patch notes from 2013 up to today. Happy reading:

Did it on PC

Thx for the visualisation. I took your graph and added the prepatch state before the big AOE nerf with a purple line. You can see how huge the difference is.
I added an orange line for a possible buff that would turn it in a better blob controlling machine which wouldn't affect its performance versus single units that much.




Edit:

Old AoE goes up to 80 while it should be capped at 0.75*80=60. Also, you set the old AoE near distance to 0.75 instead of 1m.

You are right, the current damage (red line) should be capped at sixty until range 0.75 or 1. I'm not sure if it is 0.75 or 1, because in the patch notes of february they stated 0.75 for near distance and now they stated 1 for near distance.

Old patch note:
Auto-fire range from 60 to 50
HE Barrage scatter max from 10 to 7
HE Barrage Damage from 100 to 80
HE Barrage AOE damage from 1/0.25/0.1 to 0.75/0.4/0.2
HE Barrage AOE distance from 1/2/3 to 0.75/2/4
HE Barrage Angle scatter from 7 to 6
HE Barrage shell count from 4 to 5
HE Barrage reload from 2.75/2.9 to 1.75/2.9
Barrage shells now use mortar explosion effects to distinguish them from auto-fire rounds.
Veterancy 2 scatter bonus now applies to the barrage instead of the unit's autofire
Smoke no longer shares a cooldown with the main barrage
Human Crush removed

Suppression for scott is an absolutely horrible idea even worse than Leig/Pak suppression.

Just tell us a better one that reliefs USF from always going for the same two commanders that fill their blank spots especially in those 4vs4 teamgames. I do think it is the Scott which should be in this role but I'm pretty interested in your ideas.

It isnt a case of communication covering holes, it's a case of having players on both teams who know how their factions actually work, which results in games being reasonably well balanced.

Trying to understand your argumentation: If it is even at arranged teams with players that understand their faction, random allied players seem to understand their faction less than random axis players. If we assume that allied players aren't more dumb than axis players on average this leads to the conclusion that allied factions are harder to understand.

Game is not balanced if one faction is harder to understand than the other. For me that is the basic conclusion out of your sentence.
