Can't tell because you don't play a good portion of your matches and Miku rage quits just as often even when we're winning. Also, I doubt it because I have an entire 'friends pending' list of people I absolutely hate in 4v4 and some of them are within the top 200. One day they'll accept my friend invite and I can yell at them... one day. Oh, my 2v2 is at a 47% win rate, but I am rank 258 or some crap. It really is about just playing every game to your best ability. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Addressing the issue of ELO-hell.16 Feb 2022, 21:35 PM Jump back to quoted post16 Feb 2022, 21:23 PMRosbone I agree 100%. I did not want to muddy the waters further since people are having trouble handling the statistic so far. What happens when you get rekt 5 games in a row by the same "unranked" top 10 premade team? You should lose NO ELO at all since they are really top 10 players. But the monkeys at Retardic have no concept of this so you may lose a ton of ELO. Does anyone know? Do we have proof and data to support it? There are a number of things that make this whole process not a 50/50 system. We do not have the Relic server code. There could be a number of things programmed into it that harm certain players. We have no idea. Lets look at this another way: How many game should a person lose before they get a win? Should the server at a minimum try to give a person a better chance after forcing them to lose 5 games in a row? 10 games in a row? You may lose tons of ELO, but you can also regain it back over the course of a week. It's a back and forth tug, but you reduce your chances of clawing it all back if you continually /l based on your teammates before a match begins or when things go bad. It's really not going to be a 50/50 system in any form because of premades and also I don't think the ELO gain/loss averages out to 50/50 either, it's a very spikey system made worse by the relative poor quality of players at all but the top 50 in 4s. I have gone on 12-15 game losing streaks and have gotten 10 game winning streaks, I've gone from rank 50 to rank 400 in an evening. I don't think asking how many games a person should lose before they get a win is a correct one given the context of competitive ranking even if it is a shitty one because the answer is always going to be: a player should lose as many games as it takes until they get a win. There is no room for pity mechanics here when you're talking about something that is binary in definition - you either win or lose. Now how much ELO you win or lose that can be up for debate.

Thread: Addressing the issue of ELO-hell.16 Feb 2022, 21:17 PM Jump back to quoted post16 Feb 2022, 21:07 PMYourcall Maybe the people with 40% sub 40% winrate are the reason games are lost because they simply play terrible. There are not consistently enough players that bad online to put them all in one match. And even then the losestreak continues for half of them. And i told you 55% is all it takes in 4v4 You know what's more funny about this entire situation? If a certain person didn't qualify for the biodiversity museum they could easily be top 200 with a lower than 50% win rate. But to consistently /l without trying any of the games will lead to terrible outcomes. Also, I made top 10 with a ~50% win rate in 4v4 randoms. So you don't even need 55%, what matters is winning the games where you gain the most ELO because not all wins are equal at the end of the day and that's something no one here is really talking about.

Thread: jackson armor nerf28 Jan 2020, 12:54 PM I would like to ask Codguy's expert opinion on the matter. I think having a toggle of some kind could possibly be a solution; high pen, long range but with reduced ROF versus default which is lower pen, normal rate of fire and reduced range with a four second duration before being able to switch - toggling interrupts reload etc. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: How to counter Allies range, speed and mass in 4v4?24 Jul 2019, 19:14 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Jul 2019, 04:34 AMHon3ynuts Typically as ostheer(okw is harder but go stuka seems the best bet), you want to focus on a big t1 to break such a position, unless you want to play risky with an early light vehicle. Many mortars, grens and mgs will do the most to advance your cause but require diligent micro and unit pres. You will need a pak from t2, but I would skip t3 vs an entrenched foe. 2 at guns will decimate a p4/ostwind or mitigate it to repairs frequently. Panzerwerfers are pretty much necessary or if you see no counter to the LEFH you can try that (Comes late at 8 cps for midgame though) and panthers are incredibly durable late game AT. Brumbars totally win the infantry game if you can keep it alive and support it with infantry, t4 is always a goal for ostheer. I do find you may need help vs Tds though, but there are commanders that can help I would try try to get a commander that can help with the early game. Abilities such as ambush camo's sprint can keep units on the field longer or quickly flank mgs. Panzer tactician can make a flame ht live much longer and enhance your tanks lategame. I typically bring Storm, Blitz and Jaeger infantry. Storm counters arty with a smoke drop and Stuka dive bomb combo. Jaeger infantry b/c getting infantry that can sprint and fire g43s on the move is great vs mgs to flank and mortars to that shoot at fixed positions. Blitzkreig is a good panzer tactician doc as it has JU87 for late game and a sprint with tactical movement. The Command tank wont delete infantry like the brumbar but it's less popcap and can do more to support panthers and infantry with the aura. But if your opponents are coordinated your team better be, or you may not stand much of a chance anyways I second this. You may also never get to werfers as other people have mentioned you may need your ally to do it for you. Pray hard. Yesterday I fought a US player who went rear echelon grenade spam combined with paks with a Soviet ally who went MGs, AT guns, and guards. Both times my teammate and I "won" the lane, but it meant I never had anything beyond t2 since I had to keep reinforcing to delay while my partner who was OKW (twice) was providing Stuka support - so I was at his mercy. I used Strategic Reserves so I could at least have a cloaked 251 while providing flares for intel. All the munitions went towards flares, all my MP towards reinforcing. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Panzerwerfer and Lefh5 Jun 2015, 02:57 AM Jump back to quoted post5 Jun 2015, 02:31 AMAlexzandvar It's not bugged or inconsistent. The point of the Artillery Officer is he lets you concentrate barrages on area's out of a things normal range because you need to walk to that place and shoot a flare at that area. The fact it works with all barrage weapons isn't a bug either. Read what you wrote previously, you'll see why I said it's bugged/inconsistent. In: Lobby
Thread: Panzerwerfer and Lefh5 Jun 2015, 02:22 AM Jump back to quoted post5 Jun 2015, 01:30 AMAlexzandvar That not an issue. It's a feature. The Panzerwerfer also fires it's original 32 rockets when you use the ability. It works on all barrage unit's including captured barrage units up into and including Sturmtigers. Rofl, so it's bugged one way or another and at the very least it's inconsistent. Horay. While I think it's the shitty way to be balanced I do think that the inclusion of the artillery officer in Ostheer almost/sort of makes up for the individual lackluster performance of the LeFH (at the very least) and the Panzerwerfer.

Thread: Panzerwerfer and Lefh4 Jun 2015, 23:22 PM Did they fix the issue where the Artillery officer could call in another barrage even though LeFH and Panzerwerfer are on cool down? In: Lobby
