Because OCF is a joke 1v1 tournament? How much shit is banned due to terrible balance decisions and crippling bugs? You can't use data with so many ridiculous variables up in the air.

Leigs constantly fire from relative safety and suppress/pin infantry way too easily. Every OKW player makes 2 of them, and they are a constant and major threat.

I've been playing OKW recently, and I just sit them next to a truck and let them AFK-fire laser guided bombs that lets me win nearly every engagement. Get vision with Volks -> let leigs suppress -> charge with sturms. It's obnoxious and easy.

So your argument for everything is 'doesn't count'.

Think about it for a second, most of the banned stuff is ally related. In a tournament where most of the OP ally stuff is banned, allies are still dominating, auto match doesn't even have the luxury of being able to ban all the OP ally stuff.

So again how is Leig OP if allies are dominating so hard?

Now that the brits stats are out, only recent but you can still use other methods to see their performance the last few weeks, it is a bit easier to see overall balance. Balance topics are often very subjective but stats while they do have their flaws can also be useful tools.

Both axis factions currently have lower win ratios than all 3 allied factions in all brackets. They even have lower win ratios than the Brits in 1v1. At first I thought this was weird considering the amount of crying about Brits in 1v1, but then watching streamers and looking at the ladders, its clear they are not actually doing that bad. Often hearing 'unplayable' but then thats kind of stupid when brits are clearly winning 1v1 games.

I mean all this crying about the Brits and Leigs, but OKW have almost always been the weakest faction in 1v1 but were strong in team games, but even in team games they get torn apart.

There are still endless axis OP threads, but if they are so OP why do allies have better win ratios across the board?

Also even look at OCF, multiple 2:1 wins where the only wins were when the players were playing allies, I mean even sprice playing like a bit of a fool almost won a game just playing dreadful and blobbing and spamming and pretty much played like such a fool he lost himself the game (arty on his own troops).

I generally play all factions but the leaderboards, the statistics and even OCF show axis suffering and yet the forums still want axis nerfed and allies buffed, I don't get it.

deny it all you want mate

also your such a Axis fanboy that you THINK brits give me free win streaks and its so funny reading that

you wanna know something really ironic?

i am at a lose strike with them(literly unplayable at 1vs1 and 2vs2)

mate if you ever get the chance to play british just be prepared to face the awful truth of their AWFUL weak early and mid game state

If they are unplayable then how are players winning with them? More so how are top players regularly losing to Brits?

Without a doubt they are extremely weak in 1v1 but for sure are not unplayable, I mean damn go check out the ratios, Brits have a higher win ratio than OKW. They do completely have a problem with ost in 1v1 for sure though.

As for 2v2, that's just you being bad, Brits are fine in 2v2 with a higher ratio than both axis factions.

But it wont matter how they get balanced, you will still be bad, you will lose games and still come to the forums and blame balance.

Have you?
Turbomortar will not be OP anymore, but still will be better then sov mortar, sniper will be less, but still extremely effective vs brits.
StuG TWP have different role, everything else are buffs.

OKW:
IR HT gets 5 fuel costs, everything else are buffs with most important one-garrison clear with inc nades you don't need to research, because axis.

Ohh yes, so much shut on, especially poor OKW, IR HT spam abuse meta will now end!


And guess what?
Despite what you say, OKW gets buffs only this patch.
Comparing what you say with patch notes, it makes you look like a biased, blind fanboy.

The Leig is getting a distance buff and apart from that its mainly reinforcement 10% reductions, you really think these buffs with drastically change okw apart from being able to clear buildings now? Do you honestly think the faction that has been the worst 1v1 faction for a very long time, will suddenly not be that because of these changes while USF are getting pretty significant buffs who were already beating OKW.

Also you can't say they are getting a nerf and mostly buffs and then go onto say they only get buffs, that makes no sense.

Also you're forgetting the flame changes, which as a faction with no flame weapons (not inc nades) is also a buff for other factions that will effect them.

I'm looking at USF and I see no early game changes, just quality of life changes(ambulance, AA HT) and adjustments for mid and late game, so its actually on the level of ost(sherman buff, EZ8 buff, rifle scaling, priest brought up to the level of other arty pieces) addition of useful mine and removal of def stance, which will weaken greatly LMG rifles, bugfix for .50 cal.

Never said anything about early game changes, but funny how you failed to mention the bar change which is the biggest issue on the preview patch at the moment, just look at Hans or Sprice vod on them. I mean it's pretty evident from you not bringing them up, that you have not played the preview. I mean when you have to leave out buffs to complete your argument you really are just being a blind bias fanboy.

I PLAY all of the fucking factions. I'm aware of problems and strengths of every faction more then any of you, rampaging fanbois.

You're wrong here as well, Brits are the weakest 1v1 faction by far, if you say otherwise, you have no slightest clue on how to play axis.

Let me remind you that before brits release OKW had BY FAR THE HIGHEST WIN RATIO between 2v2 and 4v4.
New faction released, people didn't knew how to fight it, some units were imbalanced and overperforming, win ratio dropped-who would have ever expected that?

God damn hypocrites like you is why we can't have proper discussions around here.

Firstly look at your playercard, you hardly play all factions. See not being a complete fanboi like you, I can completely agree on Brits being weak in 1v1, I will say they fair ok vs okw but ost just completely stomps them and I really feel Brits need an early game buff and a proper counter to sniper, I don't think the bren buff will cut it.

Yeah OKW did in 2v2 and 4v4 but now they don't and you are still in threads calling OKW to strong despite them being low in all brackets.

How can you not see your own hypocrisy here?


Random: OKW are weak in 1v1 but strong in team games. They need a buff in 1v1 but toning down in team games or allies need a buff

Katitoff: OKW just need nerfs

Random: OKW are now weak in all brackets, they need a buff

Katitoff: No OKW are fine, Brits are weak in 1v1 though!

When OKW were weak in 1v1 you cried because of how they were in team games, now Brits are weak in 1v1 but good in team games, you cry because Brits are to weak.


How can you not see your constant hypocrisy?

On the contrary, they may be doing OK in 1v1's but their success in 2v2's/3v3's/4v4's is not their own. They were one of the worst factions with the lowest win rates until a specific date arrived. Ever since that date they have the highest win-rates along with the Soviets, but this is all an obvious farce.

That date is September 3rd, British release day. They are riding the British coat-tales to victory currently. They are no way no how one of the best factions in the game. They are still one of the worst. Yet since the British are smashing Germans currently they are sneaking in a lot of victories. I just hope Relic can see this in their own data and realize all is still not well with the USF.

If you don't believe me just look at coh2chart.com. Look at team games and watch as their win-rates skyrocket on the 3rd of September. I mean it's pretty obvious.

As for their 1v1's, they aren't really the best, they are up and down all over the place just like the other factions. They are doing fine recently but it's no reason to say they are the best.

I will completely agree with that although I disagree with the part about 2v2 success, before Brits they were not doing to bad in this bracket, with some solid double USF strategies available. As for 3v3 or 4v4, personally for me these are joke brackets that I can't take serious.

1v1 though they have been up and down, they have consistently been better than OKW. I'm not saying they are the best but to just say USF are weak and Relic favors Axis, when OKW has constantly under preformed in arguably the most competitive bracket and also arguably the main tournament bracket.

Despite that though if Relic did only care about Axis then OKW would not currently be under performing in all brackets.
