This is the problem. Too may people seem to think that contribution equals quality and therefore criticism is unwarranted. I don't think anyone knows who is really making the final decision on any patch and what limitations are placed on those working on the patch. However imo the direction patches have taken over the last few years have done very little to improve the game overall from an enjoyment perspective. Is it more balance across all modes, probably, but frustration when playing any faction is through the roof because every faction is jamb packed with cancer...
And before the usual retards rush in with rank references and l2p quips, let me just say I know how to play, I just dislike how the game has evolved. Hell I won't even watch a stream anymore unless its someone like vonivan or someone that is entertaining because the game has just become cheesey boring crap.
they are balancing better than the relic sledgehammer approach. Relics old answer to an OP unit was to nerf it in five different ways eg comet.
The game will take time to balance after so many years of up and down powerspikes and bizare design decisions (OKW vet 5, old brits having crappy vet but strong out gate, USF tech limitations. Right now we have the balance tema doing a great job AND adding new content in the form of commander redesigns keeping the game alive.
In sanders own words they are taking things slow, I know people will point to the tiger last patch but that was actually bugged.
