Thread: How would you like the JLI to be nerfed?18 Jan 2019, 19:28 PM Jump back to quoted post18 Jan 2019, 19:22 PMAlphrum 3 man jli? are u high? Yes JLI are clearly over performing but people keep using words like broken and over exaggerating units performance, this was one of the reasons why relic had flopped so many updates because players would over exaggerate whats OP or UP leading to over buffs and over nerfs. Clearly, from watching high level replays, JLI's are OP when ther blobbed, not when you have 1 or 2 them as support. Right now, they only need a price increase and munition increase for ther upgrade and if thats not enough, maybe a pop limit increase too. And if thats not enough then maybe you mover on to their raw performance, the last thing we need is some fat triple nerf thats guna make them useless Preach! I like that I see JLI in the games again, what I don't like is that I'm guaranteed to meet them and in groups of 3-4 squads every match against OKW. Much like pathfinders they are an interesting unit who offers an interesting seasoning to the factions they are in, but right now it's just being overseasoned. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: How would you like the JLI to be nerfed?18 Jan 2019, 14:24 PM Jump back to quoted post18 Jan 2019, 14:20 PMTactical Imouto Could always have balance of your own in larger modes, atleast to an extent ( like fixing the resource flood/CP in larger modes) But enough about that since this thread is about JLI. If we expect that from the balance team, then we probably need to start paying them And regardless the biggest balance problem in 3v3 and 4v4s is not even the units, but the discrepancy of skill levels, when you have to mix and match the skill of 8 players in a time when as low as a few hundred are actively searcing for a match in that specific game mode.

Thread: How would you like the JLI to be nerfed?18 Jan 2019, 14:17 PM Jump back to quoted post18 Jan 2019, 14:14 PMTactical Imouto "kiddy pool" that consists of most players probably and the game would die out without them. Especially considering 2v2 pits top 100s against top 5k's on a regular basis due to the lack of players in that mode. Thats kind of an elitist attitude, dont u think? One does not exclude the other. As balance is impossible on this scale, 3v3 and 4v4 very much is a sandbox for experimenting and have fun. I do it myself sometimes if I'm not feeling up for the stress of 1v1. But it really is a kiddy pool, as you have no control of more than 10-20% of what's happening on the battlefield. That dosen't mean that it dosen't have its place. But if they seriously tried to balance the game according to this scale, then the competitive 1v1 community and tournaments that really draw a crowd would turn into a complete and utter shit show.

Thread: How would you like the JLI to be nerfed?18 Jan 2019, 14:12 PM Jump back to quoted post18 Jan 2019, 13:49 PMKirrik JLI were already powerful and nobody used them because of inferior doctrine and CP2 combination making them less attractive compared to just plain old Volkblob combined with Obers later on. JLI buffs are nothing more than green cover/garrison accuracy buff for sniper rifle and ambush ability out of stealth. You could blob JLI before and they were just as broken and effective, its just wasnt optimal to do due to bad doctrine requirement and CP2 lock on them, once those were removed it was already a huge buff by itself but that clearly deemed not enough Also game IS in ruined state for large team games if 2 or more OKW players lock in Overwatch, city maps are pretty much completely unplayable thanks to JLI ninjas by themselves. Large team games are by definition not balanced, as it is impossible to balance with the current player base and nearly impossible with the assymetrical balance of 5 factions scaled top 6-8 times. I don't know what you are thinking that they should even aim for placing the focus on balancing in this scale. JLI were really not possible to blob earlier if you were playing on a serious level dude. are you kidding me? No doubt they are too strong at this point, but if you're basing balance and bias on playing allies in 4v4 then we are operating on different planets and might as well have been debating on seperate games entirely. The balance community have already been more than generous towards considering balance issues in the "kiddy pool" that is 3v3 and 4v4s In: COH2 Balance
Thread: How would you like the JLI to be nerfed?18 Jan 2019, 13:40 PM Jump back to quoted post18 Jan 2019, 13:34 PMKirrik Changes being made after constant Wehraboo crying that JLI and LeFH in just not good enough and that doctrine is "bad". And they listened to them and conciously threw buff after buff until it became unbearable, so they are either dumb OR biased - as in ignoring balance implications in favor of pleasing local wehraboo crowd. You're talking nonsense. First of all the statement that the JLI were only not used because they were in a bad doctrine is a completely unsupported statement that you just made up. They were not a great or very cost efficient unit before which is why they were not used (just like airborne pathfinders weren't used at 1 CP and US ass enigs were underperforming at 4 men). Thus the so called "Wehraboo crying" was not completely unsubstantiated and it was also a point made by players like me who play all factions equally. Secondly the commander revamp was picked by the players! This in its very nature means that commanders were going to be changed and the JLI was a welcome addition to an otherwise pretty insignificant doctrine. Shit dude, this patch has barely been out for a month and you're talking like the game has been irreversably ruined. Is it the first time you experience balance not being 100% on point after an extensive rework patch? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: How would you like the JLI to be nerfed?18 Jan 2019, 13:09 PM Jump back to quoted post18 Jan 2019, 12:19 PMKirrik There is no conspiracy here. Overwatch was buffed into oblivion after Wehraboos started whining on stream during 2v2 tournament test. JLI were buffed not because they were underpowered but because they were not used, which is obviously flawed line of thought considering the reason they were not used is doctrine they were put into was just worse version of Spec Ops. You just moved the goalpost from stating that members of the balance team had an obvious bias to changes being made due to compaints from streamers and that it was in a redundant commander (I don't know why you compare scavenge to spec ops though, as apart from the infiltration grenades they literally have nothing in common).

Thread: How would you like the JLI to be nerfed?18 Jan 2019, 12:17 PM Jump back to quoted post18 Jan 2019, 12:12 PMLago No. That's not proof. Balancing a game with this many moving parts is difficult. I see no reason to believe the balance patch is some sort of Axis fanboy conspiracy over it simply not being a perfectly balanced patch. +1 If you seriously think that the balance team is deliberately trying to make the game unbalanced based on personal bias there's something seriously wrong with you!

Thread: How would you like the JLI to be nerfed?18 Jan 2019, 10:42 AM Jump back to quoted post18 Jan 2019, 10:36 AMKirrik Funny thing, this kind of screwed up mentality among mod team is exactly what led them to this debacle in first place. It appears certain members of team believe that German units should be plain better than their Allied counterparts just because they are German, which led to JLI buff despite JLI already being vastly superior to Pathfinders even before buff That's a pretty harsh accusation if you have no proof to back it up with!

If you have specific problems with the balancing of those units then make a separate post for it plz. In a game of assymetrical balance this silly whataboutery has no value. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: How would you like the JLI to be nerfed?15 Jan 2019, 14:34 PM Jump back to quoted post15 Jan 2019, 13:29 PMVipper Imo unit with critical kills should not be able to be spammed since their by pass game mechanics and their performance can be greatly be effect by other factors. For explosives and WP rounds can easily make them OP. In the specific case of the JLI I would suggest the following: a) Remove sprint. Reasons: The unit is long range unit and has no reason to have sprint available to them especially since it can be combined with the fatherland with ridiculous results. b) Remove or move to veterancy the first strike bonus. Reasons: The combined accuracy bonuses with the fatherland have ridiculous results. c) Allow the access to the unit with 2 ways: 1) build-able from HQ for 250-260 requiring tech (possibly first truck set up or first truck enter the field). Unit comes without G43. 2) As a call in that spawn at CP-2 for 300-340 manpower, units comes with G43. Reasons: Having to built them instead of spawning in them in the middle of battle will reduce the spam affect. Being able to spawn will still make them useful to counter enemy snipers. d) G43 unlock gated. That can be depending on the power of the weapon, first setup, second truck called in or second truck set up. e) Make the DPS of K98 flat or even negative at ranges bellow 10-15 so that the unis perform poorly at close ranges. f) Overhaul veterancy bonuses maybe move some of their DPS there. It would have to be tested of course, but on paper that sounds like some really good suggestions! In: COH2 Balance
