Death by puzzles ... your honor knows no bounds.

And I thought self-disembowelment was ugly

Thnx. Ye I mostly watch vids to see what's important in a deck, how to deal with aircraft, seads, attacking fortified positions, range from samts etc.
What do you mean stacked lobbies?

Means when players host lobbies and keep their side filled with the experienced players while the other ain't.

Basically, when you take a smurf and remove the part where they try to pretend they're new.

tin about champions in lol is that you need a lot of time to learn one, so having all champions doesnt help a bit. generally you need 2-4 champs. and runes are not perfect, but if you save up a bit preparing for ranked games, you will have enough for sufficient runes (on a sidenote: riot cut the prices in half for the most important runes recently)

and i would argue that coh 2 is more accessible, you need to learn A LOT in lol to be good, all 4 abilities and the passives of all ?130? champions. coh 2 doesnt have that.

If League of Legends' skill ceiling is so significant, how can micromanaging like 15 units that you can't always see at once (tactical map notwithstanding) not be even more so? In the latter's case though, that's not the ceiling, that's the floor and every tangible unit your opponent commands more actively than you is a significant advantage.

I can't see what you mean from calling the runes "not perfect", they're simplistic not-insignificant stat bonuses. They will certainly not win the game for a player far less competent, but when the players get closer in skill as things should be, the difference cannot be discounted. Glad to hear they're loosening the painful grind for more casual players that want to be a bit more competitive though.

Last paragraph - it's a presentation thing. I've definitely seen a lot of fans of CoH1 complain about the weakened strategic layer of CoH2 which I can't say is untrue, but the difficulties of RTSes remain (microing multiple units, learning build orders, keeping a tight lid on using your resources ASAP, scouting where the enemy is likely to make use of, learning the enemy's build orders) that keeps the larger market away from it. By contrast, LoL has you control one unit, using your economy resource (just one) has a clear trade-off by removing your presence from the game for a short bit and prevents it from being another constant skillgate "Buy NOW WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR", the important parts of the map are rather clearly outlined visually and scouting is mostly not microed along with other units since you place wards every three minutes and look at the minimap occasionally, and the enemy's build orders are generally implied by clicking the scoreboard and seeing what items they currently have. Like you say, LoL's potential for depth isn't small (indeed, I think build orders are probably something the vast majority of the game's players pay little attention to so they clearly enjoy the game significantly [when they aren't raging as MOBA players are apt to do ] despite of incompetence), but the immediate skill floor should certainly feel a lot lower to new players.

That's the best solution to infiltration cheese imo.

However, I would go one step further:
- Infiltration units spawn with pistols and no access to their abilities (nades, snares, etc)
- The units need to purchase a (free) upgrade before they can access their guns
- Falls/JLI gain a crappy form of stealth at Vet0, so that they have an equal chance of infiltrate + research their upgrades.

That way you get both infiltration play (requires pre-planning now), and infiltration counterplay (patrolling, if your faction has no access to garrison destruction abilities).

I LIKE IT.

Some of them might need cost changes as well in compensation of not being based around lolcheese anymore, but an excellent concept.

Why u on my turf bruh

Call yourself a writer yet I didn't see anywhere that you put your name on it
