Thread: Why Soviets are OP24 Sep 2020, 13:36 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Sep 2020, 12:08 PMgbem ohh please stop trying to make excuses... general consensus of faction strength puts sov and OKW on the bottom and it takes a special amount of axis fanboyism to dispute that... wrong again. OKW is at the bottom because it is weak (too expensive stuff for ehat you get and too single purpose in general). Soviets are much better but are less often chosen as UKF is simply crazily OP, Sov look weak compared to that but are very strong. Jump back to quoted post24 Sep 2020, 12:08 PMgbem winrates are clearly in favor of UKF/USF/OST which again does not matter much - once again - winrates do not explain if a given faction is weak or strong Jump back to quoted post24 Sep 2020, 12:08 PMgbem and most top players agree that those 3 factions are strong while SOV and OKW are the weakest... And once again - Soviets are better than both axis armies imo (withe the exception of a well executed osttroppen strat where they are even). UKF is just cancer, especially when combined with some commanders but not only that while USF is just strong. Jump back to quoted post24 Sep 2020, 12:08 PMgbem just buff OKW and SOV and be done with it... Absolutely wrong diagnosis and wrong medicine. Correct medicine: Buff OKW but carefully, nerf UKF and think about some small tweaks to USF making them less oppressive (difficult to do). Nerf some of the Soviet advantages left from the early game stages (such as 6 men crews mentioned by Von, etc) In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Why Soviets are OP24 Sep 2020, 12:05 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Sep 2020, 04:55 AMgbem the fact that the soviets are rated low on the tournament/automatch means that youre wrong You are wrong. Read the whole article carefully. All paragraphs related to automatch mechanics and how the tiers visible on the graphs are created and all other details including q&a section. You will see how wrong Your conclusion is. Imo it shows nothing related to overall strength of any faction. What, however, shows factions' strength are tourneys when most players win when playing as allies (and where they have to switch sides). In: COH2 Balance

Cost vs efficiency is probably the biggest strength of the Soviets. Many units can give a player so much more than they pay for if used correctly. Not that the Brits are inferior here. It seems that there has been some kind of power creep among allied faction racing for the crown of being better than other allied factions. At the same time axis were sort of left in the corner not really joining in into the merry dps boost festival. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Why Soviets are OP23 Sep 2020, 21:16 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Sep 2020, 20:59 PMKatitof Still holds infinitely more value then "I have said so" of yours and GiaAs. It only proves you draw conclusions from sth that should not be used this way. The author of those stats explained how wrong drawing such conclusions is. Yet, you are still convinced. Hard to comment past this point. I have repeated already in a few exchanges we had so far that by accusing me of not using stats you should at least use the stats that prove your points. Not the stats which not only not prove it but specifically warn against such way of using them. I keep following all tourneys and look through stats and play all factions. I know what I'm writing about. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Why Soviets are OP23 Sep 2020, 20:05 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Sep 2020, 18:57 PMKatitof Good that you have said "imo". Otherwise you would actually have to provide a proof that would magically contradict the data Syphon collected for couple of months, compiled and provided in a thread and prove exact opposite to what he has presented. And with that "imo" of yours, its just another, completely irrelevant, random opinion of yours. Read what he wrote about how to interpret the data and where it is specifically stated that it should not be used as a factons' strength benchmark. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Why Soviets are OP23 Sep 2020, 18:54 PM Hi Soviets ARE OP - a fact imo A list of my favourite absolutely ridiculous counter arguments: 1. T70 has to be OP because Soviets are weak - who the hell came up with that nonsense first? 2. CE has to be the cheapest because it is so weak. 3. Conscripts have to be 7 men because they suck (while grens have to be 4 men because that was the original sacred design). 4. Guards must have ptrs package for free. 5. Penals AT satchels are weak because they have small range. 6. Shocks are meh because work only close range. 7. ZiS needs to have the ridiculously potent (due to range and number of shells) and dirt cheap barrage because soviets don't have grenades. 8. Tripwire should stay the way it is because nobody uses it. 9. ZiS is bad at its AT role and that is why it should have the largest crew. In: COH2 Balance

Wish the actual stuka line was divided into those boxes with maybe two or three arrows only to show the direction. And btw - is the very beginning of the drawn line basically a guaranteed miss?

Thread: Lower the price of the Stuka to foot or buff it 14 Sep 2020, 18:28 PM Jump back to quoted post13 Sep 2020, 23:31 PMSerrith I have played a fair number of matches across various game modes with all factions. That pretty much explains Ur in game knowledge. I guess "roughly the same" was probably the wrong fragment. Also, I'm not really annoyed. I really just feel that sometimes a different point of view should be presented. In: COH2 Balance

This line of thinking hurts the balance discussions rather then help the discussions. You will go from 100's or 1000's of ideas and perceptions to only a handfull. With you being 1 of the 5 its already at 20% bad ideas. Not a encouraging prospect. So stop saying such nonsense. Have You read some of CODGUY ideas? In: COH2 Balance
