Dude, no wonder you got banned with responses like that. The salt is strong. Go have a proper chill man, go read a book about social interaction or something like that. You really have to rethink the way you speak and interact with others. It's you who needs a lesson, don't point the finger at others. |
After having read the posts, Vipper agrees it's a disadvantage but she refuses to agree with other people to use the word disadvantage to describe it even though it is. |
You can turn this off-topic content as much as you want, but switching shells is undeniably a massive disadvantage. |
I disagree. You can deduce a state of balance from the pick rates of the five factions. You cannot conclude UKF is the least played faction only because of the paywall/DLC. UKF, plain and simply put, just suck plain and are a bad faction. That's why they're the least picked. They suck. That's it. They're not fun to play with. They are bad. UKF is not even fun to play against. Even in tournaments, the pick ratio of a faction (out of five) shows the perceived game faction balance of that set of players. UFK disappears quickly from any recent tournaments. Tournament, or public play, people will pick the faction they consider to have the best chances to win with. There are people in this forum who confirmed that they are picking and learning different factions just because they're the current meta. And UKF is the fart of the current meta.
post edited to emphasise some phrasing. |
Sometimes I wonder how different factions from different game versions would fare against each other. For example, it'd be cool to be able to play UKF as when it was on its release against the most recent versions of OST and OKW just to see how all the balancing attempts have done over time.
Heck, I'd love to (re) play a 2on2 with only SOV/OST using the version of the game right before WFA came out just to see and remember how balance was back then. |
Thank you!
To add an extra level of complexity, there's more than just 4on4 in this game and the stats. You have to take into account all the stats, not just one particular game setting if one wants a full overview.
Also about the ratio, I did this bit of maths on the older stat sheet of one gametype:
It's very intriguing that if you do some basic summative analysis (and simplified for forum discussions), on these 5146 1on1 top 200 games posted in the first post, you get...
Out of 5146 games, Axis (OKW+Wehrmacht):
won: 2602 (50.56%)
lost: 2544 (49.43%)
...against UKF, SOV and USF.
During that time, when Axis (OKW+Wehrmacht) 1on1 searched for a game, out of 5146 games they faced..
UKF for 893 games (17.35%)
SOV for 2521 games (48.98%)
USF for 1732 games (33.65%)
Out of these 5146 games Axis (OKW+Wehrmacht) won 2602...
against UKF: 513 games (19.71% of all the 2602 victories)
against SOV: 1235 games (47.46%)
against USF: 854 games (32.82%)
Out of these 5146 Axis (OKW+Wehrmacht) lost 2544...
against UKF: 380 games (14.93% of all the 2544 losses)
against SOV: 1286 games (50.55%)
against USF: 878 games (34.51%)
It is up to you people how you intend to interpret these numbers, but there is clearly a trend in the data presented for the given time period for the given player for the given matches which 1on1 matchup Axis is facing the most, which one they have the most potential to win/lose, and which one they face the least, and which one they are going to win/lose the least. This is a literal Monty Hall problem & situation right there.

You're heavily misrepresenting what I said both initially and even clarified later on. But I agree that we'll just leave it at this point.
Hey, don't point the finger at me now. From my perspective you're the one heavily misrepresenting what I said - but I did not say that and I kindly attempted to clarify my thoughts. No need to point fingers, really. I kindly asked you that we just agree to disagree. No need to say that I am misrepresenting. We are both misunderunderstaning each other, yes, but I am not misrepresenting you. |
They are the most played factions because there are only two...
This is your post that started this off topic schematic and terminology discussions focusing on a single sentence. Your point is still that there are only two factions, whereas I must insist that there are five.
I suggest we'd just leave it as it stands and agree that we're clearly not understanding each other. |
I honestly don't know if you're serious. Instead of explaining in a lengthy way, I'll keep it very simple and I'll ask you some questions. Look at the graph, which faction is the least picked? Which faction is the most picked? Now order each individual faction per side from least picked to most picked. Remember, there are five factions. |
Yes. In the context of you talking about OST and OKW. There are two Axis factions. Those having higher pick counts is due Axis only having two factions in contrast to three Allied ones. It has nothing to do with balance.
I have a feeling you're completely misreading everything I say and focusing on one single sentence. |
