If you're far far better than your opponents, you will win.
So if you are a level 16? You can clown two level 13s all by yourself? As OKW or Soviets? LMFAO good luck.
Or if you are a level 10 you can clown any competent premade team?
Every mode you play is basically a 1v1 mode. Where faction matchups are easier to deal with.
1v1 = 1v1
2v2 = Two separate 1v1s on most maps
3v3 = Three separate 1v1s on most maps
4v4 = Two players fighting at the same time on the fuel all game long.
In 1v1 your skill comes to the surface. In 4v4 you are 100% reliant on your team. This is where ELO hell exists in its dominant form.
And Relic has the worst match making in the history of human civilization. So at lower ranks you will go thru long periods of winning 1 out of 4-7 games. Meaning your rank will constantly degrade.
ELO hell disappears at much higher ranks (L14 and up). Because the players crash less and have a fundamental understanding of how to play the game.
The point of this topic is Relic is killing their own brand. Relic are the reason there are not 100k Coh2 players.
Low to mid ranked players lose 5 to 10 games in a row and delete the game.
People get the same map against premade teams 3 games in a row and delete the game.
People get the same shit spawn on the same shit map 4 games in a row and delete the game.
That is why I say only retards play COH2. Any intelligent person would delete this game after realizing they have no chance of winning 75% or more of their games.
Most elites would argue, intelligent people do not play 4v4. But it is by far the funnest mode to most. As shown by the player base.
EDIT:
I would like to add that, at lower ranks, having an AI is actually much better than having a team mate that camps the center VP or a munition point all game long. So playing with noobs is actually like playing a 4v3 for example.
