COH2 is good for 1v1 only reason lot of ppl dont play this is all games reqyures 1+ hour of dedicated time which most ppl dont have they want fast 10 - 20 min games this deters a vast majority of casula gamers from COH2

well, 1v1 and 2v2 take more like 30 minutes most of the time. that is comparable to the big mobas

If they make it f2p you will complain that it's p2w.

people are already complaining

If League of Legends' skill ceiling is so significant, how can micromanaging like 15 units that you can't always see at once (tactical map notwithstanding) not be even more so? In the latter's case though, that's not the ceiling, that's the floor and every tangible unit your opponent commands more actively than you is a significant advantage.

well, the thing with lol is that it can be much faster paced than coh2 very often. besides grenade dodging i would say that coh2 is a very low APM game, which helps a lot for the new player

I can't see what you mean from calling the runes "not perfect", they're simplistic not-insignificant stat bonuses.

with not perfect i mean that they are a little grindy

Glad to hear they're loosening the painful grind for more casual players that want to be a bit more competitive though.

its not THAT painfull. 2 runes pages are often enough and you can buy that for less than 10000 IP, so 2 higher priced champions

[...] but the immediate skill floor should certainly feel a lot lower to new players.

well, LoL has a lot of diversity on other areas and its hard to compare, but seeing the average compstomper in coh2 i would argue that the skill floor is low there too. (3v3 sheldt annihilate, or archelous river fests)

This pretty much is essence of F2P games, even the good ones.

Incredibly slow progression, or paying for convenience or plain P2W.

i think dota 2 and lol are a very good example that you are wrong. dota doesnt even have progression and the progression in lol is reasonably fast.

thing with coh2 is, that some of the mechanics are so unpolished and the optimization is so bad, that i think that it wouldnt be that much of an improvement for the playerbase, because many players wouldnt play it for long

but if that would be fixed, coh2 basegame might actually make a very good f2p title

oh boy, here we go:
delete this huge amount of useless data and compress it to a reasonable amount:

like i5 6600k, r9 390, asus ranger, 8gb ddr4 ,gpu driver version xxyz

just try to deinstall and reinstall your gpu driver, additionally download directX and reinstall it and verify the integritity of the game files

Well, in my post I didn't talk about hardware. And I said that win 8 and 10 are slightly faster, but IMO not enough to compensate for the loss in usability. Do you have any real benchmarks you did? Because otherwise you probably saw mostly the speed increase because of a new system installation.

Which browser and which add-ons do you use? Again, a virus can come from many directions and once you have it, you really want an antivirus program. How else do you check if your PC is infected? Lick the keyboard and try to taste it?

And yes sometimes I'm on websites I don't trust. I googled something and a site seems the give am answer. Or I misspell a site name ( can happen easily). Or if I download very legal movies and such...

Edit at basilone:

I didn't have a virus in years, but my browser is a castle well defended. Thing is you can't give this advice to the average noob, because they really need one badly.

And about the PSU:
CPU uses 150 max with oc, GPU 300 with very heavy of, rest 100, that's 550. And that is with very hefty of. 750 is way over the top. I'm active in a German PC extreme forum, nothing past 600 is recommended

some points:

-wait for good 1080 designs, the founders edition is overpriced and sucks

-your current cpu is good enough. but if you want a second pc, i would go for the i7 6700k as already suggested by others

-get air cooler, liquid coolers are often very loud and not really better

-i would not get 21:9 or 1440p as a streamer, because, lets face it, most people watch it at 16:9 in 1080p.

so if you really want a new system (and not just a new gpu, which i would suggest), my suggestion would be this:

i7 6700k
asus z170 gaming pro
crucial mx 200 500gb ssd
16GB G.Skill RipJaws V DDR4-3000
2TB hard drive
500 Watt be quiet! Straight Power 10-CM Modular
noctua ndh15 (or black rock pro 3 if you dont like the noctua)
gtx 1080 (best with a 3 fan design probably)
a case of your liking ( i personally have the phantek enthoo pro, very good with custom fans)
