Thread: OKW needs buff?25 Oct 2020, 17:32 PM Jump back to quoted post25 Oct 2020, 17:25 PMSerrith The point is that the winrate MAY be indicative of an issue but it might not be the issue you think it is. Jumping to the conclusion that soviets are underpowered with ladder winrate as the primary-or only- metric is very problematic. absolutely... but its already been backed up as the reason why the soviets are the weakest faction in the previous "soviet OP" thread already...

Thread: OKW needs buff?25 Oct 2020, 17:30 PM Jump back to quoted post25 Oct 2020, 16:58 PMachpawel It is just hard to explain to You that win% does not transfer to balance. Read this: https://www.coh2.org/news/55039/coh2chart-and-its-worth that site basically said the same thing.... DATA IS TAKEN WITH GRAIN OF SALT... data however is taken with less grains of salt than an opinion... is it that hard to understand? Jump back to quoted post25 Oct 2020, 16:58 PMachpawel Answered above - but there is more. You just have to read all the author writes about it with understanding, not jumping to the simplest conslusions (such as my favourite faction is UP because of the lower win rates on the graph) says the person jumping to conclusions with "OKW UP SOV OP" without any evidence... but of course other than the perfectly valid whataboutism against a wehraboo hypocrite there is a valid point i keep on repeating over and over that you refuse to understand... 1. objective data says sov is weakest 2. opinions of several players agree that SOV suffers alot in the current meta 3. entire arguments posted in the former "soviet op" thread in favor of the soviets being the weakest faction that involved in depth analysis... Jump back to quoted post25 Oct 2020, 16:58 PMachpawel I cannot - please make it visible no idea how Jump back to quoted post25 Oct 2020, 16:58 PMachpawel In this case you directly transfer win% to balance and suggest that OKW is OP and Soviets are UP. It is far from objective data. There is simply no objective data to show balance between factions. Winrates aren't sth you can directly transfer into balance. It is actually quite risky to do just that. do i have to explain this again... the data is taken WITH A GRAIN OF SALT... it is not entirely true but it is not entirely false either... now lets take at it from a proper analytical standpoint... OKW is a capable faction with a few teching issues... its base units are COMPARABLE to units of its counterparts and are not deficient in any way.... where OKW lags behind is TECHING which makes it a bit harder for the faction... however due to the winrates it is worth saying that OKW only needs MINOR ADJUSTMENTS... rule in + strong faction lineup without subpar units + good winrate rule out - teching excludes medics SOV meanwhile is a faction that has the weakest basic infantry elite infantry medium tank and a machinegun... all these 4 units are the WEAKEST OF THEIR CLASS when ranked to their counterparts... in return it gets a few top of its class units like the light tank and the AT gun... rule in + T-70 + zis 3 rule out - worst machinegun ingame - worst basic infantry ingame - elite that doesnt scale - worst medium tank ingame - worst winrate ingame now i dare ask you if youre stupid enough to believe the soviets are OP... in any case one must be using the data in CONJUNCTION with opinions to arrive to the appropriate conclusion... but to treat opinions as superior to data is utter bullshit Jump back to quoted post25 Oct 2020, 16:58 PMachpawel It is far from objective. IMO they are actually quite powerful. then your opinion is trash Jump back to quoted post25 Oct 2020, 16:58 PMachpawel Data are not lies - just transferring win% into faction powerlevel is simply wrong.

Falls are x10000 time better then Obersts, because they are awaible earlier meaning that they can start vetting up earlier and provide you with resonable AI against upgraded allied inf\elites. If I had an option to get Obersts (without LMG) by the time I can get stock Falls, I wouldnt even bother going for them, because luftwaffe commander is a garbage with falls being the sole reason you would want to pick it. yeah thats the point... fussies obsolete volks and falls obsolete obers... but you cant get both falls and fussies soo the "choice" here is which unit u want to obsolete...

Thread: OKW needs buff?25 Oct 2020, 16:38 PM Jump back to quoted post25 Oct 2020, 16:32 PMSpoof I realize I'm asking for trouble wanting a Volks buff, but seriously, why should I choose Volks over Fusiliers? Except for the one fact that Fusiliers come in doctrines that I might not want, but can we please change it so that Fusiliers are not a direct upgrade over Volks? Even if that doesn't mean buffing Volks, I'm fine with it, just give me a reason not to always go Fusiliers. the same argument can also be thrown for falls and obers... id suppose the choice here is between fussies and termiagers...

Thread: OKW needs buff?25 Oct 2020, 16:27 PM Jump back to quoted post25 Oct 2020, 16:13 PMachpawel Well, You apperently refuse to accept what the author of those stats warns about.... ok... let me simplify it for you... data has lots of factors lots of factors means data is taken with a grain of salt data however is taken with less grains of salt than an opinion... is it that hard to understand? also where is the author`s warnings? i read the whole article and there are no warnings AT ALL... or are you being dishonest aswell? Jump back to quoted post25 Oct 2020, 16:13 PMachpawel It is in my signature i was referring to your educational attainment... data analysis is bread and butter for any postgraduate course... if you have not achieved it then it explains as to why you are having difficulty understanding such basic concepts Jump back to quoted post25 Oct 2020, 16:13 PMachpawel It is not i can see it just fine... Jump back to quoted post25 Oct 2020, 16:13 PMachpawel again - read the explanation how those stats are created and what conclusions cannot be drawn from them objective data > opinion Jump back to quoted post25 Oct 2020, 16:13 PMachpawel OKW has some problems, which I enumerated above in earlier posts. Of course this is my perspective - but that is the idea behind the forum. Nice we agree on the tech rework - Sander's or JibberJabber's ideas or Vippler's all make sense to me. yeah but unlike you i dont ask nerfs on the objectively weakest faction in the game Jump back to quoted post25 Oct 2020, 16:13 PMachpawel They are not cherrypicked. You cherrypick the data out of the context and use win/loss faction ration to justify balance improvements. It is wrong for many reasons but since You don't want to acknowledge FULL data of how those stats are created it is You who do cherrypicking. You take just stats without all the background on how they are created and what risks are involved into interpreting them. And btw interpreting such data is not as simple as You seem to suggest. really now? what is your analysis ohh PHD in statistics? all data are lies therefore my opinions are truths? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: OKW needs buff?25 Oct 2020, 16:03 PM You stopped sticking to the topic a few posts away. You don't want to provide Your credentials. You don't read FULL analysis of the data You use to back up Your conclusions. You seem to believe in personal attacks. A textbook definition of a bad discussion partner. SOV is in a bad spot - Your understanding of the gameplay mechanics seems too be low to understand it. Not providing Your playercard seems to suggest you don't play all factions. We will have to agree to disagree. look i can play your game too! In: COH2 Balance
Thread: OKW needs buff?25 Oct 2020, 16:01 PM Jump back to quoted post25 Oct 2020, 15:39 PMachpawel Have You read info on how to interpret the data? I guess not... i think anyone with postgrad education knows how to interpret statistical data... whats your level? Jump back to quoted post25 Oct 2020, 15:39 PMachpawel Where is Your playercard? its literally below the avatar Jump back to quoted post25 Oct 2020, 15:39 PMachpawel Check my player card to see my Sov level/number of games and this might convince You that I know quite well (for a casual player) how to use them. It also confirms that I play OKW and it really is more difficult to play with them. objective data > your opinion Jump back to quoted post25 Oct 2020, 15:39 PMachpawel You seem to be Soviet biased in an OKW thread tbh - try to stick to the thread topic, which is OKW. you seem OKW biased in the previous soviet thread aswell... whataboutism aside i actually AGREE on a tech rework for OKW.... unlike you who wants nothing but soviet nerfs like a crazy persion... Jump back to quoted post25 Oct 2020, 15:39 PMachpawel As a footnote - my favourite soviet myths are still valid, just UKF is crazily OP and is better than Sov. Buffing Sov is not the answer though. your "myths" are cherry picked and ran through several layers of bias... i can make the same "myths" for any faction and claim them to be true using your half arsed logic...

You were bashed, not me. sometimes an ad hominem is the appropriate response to fact denying cherrypickers... people who cherry pick data and deny everything that does not suit their rhetoric deserve none better...

Thread: OKW needs buff?25 Oct 2020, 15:33 PM Jump back to quoted post25 Oct 2020, 15:17 PMachpawel Read what the author of those stats wrote. Read the question and answer section, too. It is really clear and self explanatory - requires some reading time, though. you simply cannot dismiss the data though.... the winrates may not be absolute proof of a faction underperforming however it is OBJECTIVE data which exists beyond "opinions" and "feelings" and therefore must be granted credibility beyond that of an "opinion"... therefore winrates >>>>> your trash opinion HOWEVER you are one of the people INSANE enough to claim the soviets are OP despite having the lowest winrate ingame... this is in utter IGNORANCE to the data presented... take a look at your dumb argument and see how your narrative fits the bill... Jump back to quoted post23 Sep 2020, 18:54 PMachpawel Hi Soviets ARE OP - a fact imo A list of my favourite absolutely ridiculous counter arguments: 1. T70 has to be OP because Soviets are weak - who the hell came up with that nonsense first? 2. CE has to be the cheapest because it is so weak. 3. Conscripts have to be 7 men because they suck (while grens have to be 4 men because that was the original sacred design). 4. Guards must have ptrs package for free. 5. Penals AT satchels are weak because they have small range. 6. Shocks are meh because work only close range. 7. ZiS needs to have the ridiculously potent (due to range and number of shells) and dirt cheap barrage because soviets don't have grenades. 8. Tripwire should stay the way it is because nobody uses it. 9. ZiS is bad at its AT role and that is why it should have the largest crew. can you stop being axis biased for one second? In: COH2 Balance
