I've also been popcapped more in this patch than ever before (almost every game that lasts beyond 20 minutes). I don't really like that.

When you use the ability do you decide if it is more likely or less likely to work? You don't.

You do not control the parameters, you control the trigger. That isn't a player controlling RNG.

Risk/reward is you attacking with an aggressive flank with a glass cannon. Risk/reward is you pushing an MG with a light vehicle. Risk/reward is pre-patch ram. Risk/reward is not a coin flip. Risk/reward is not a roll of the dice.



No, because a mortar isn't an integral unit to my faction's success. I can have a unit composition totally devoid of mortars and have a successful game. It is an artillery unit and as an artillery unit, shell spread is a crucial function.



Both a misrepresentation of poker and a strawman argument.

Poker has a high skillcap because the act of playing poker is far more than just drawing cards and putting them on the table. It's appropriate bets, reading your opponents, and reacting to what you see.

It's not the appropriate comparison. To compare this to poker would only be viable is if the hand I was given every time was filled with question marks instead of numbers. To compare it to poker I'd have to know if my ability would work or not before I even used it.

If I wanted to play Starcraft I'd play Starcraft. If I wanted CoH2 to be Starcraft I'd be talking about removing squads, accuracy, artillery, capture points and replacing it with a straight up health vs. damage system with macro economics.

RNG absolutely does decide games. It absolutely does not reward good play. I've went over this repeatedly and it's irrefutable. This is factual basis I'm discussing, not "fun" or "cool" or "realistic"(fuck that shitty argument).

Adding RNG factually decides games. Adding RNG factually lowers the skill cap. Adding RNG factually trivializes important decisions. Adding RNG factually rewards bad play.

If you can prove to me it doesn't do any of the above, I will eat my words. When RNG is now a factor a player can control, when RNG does not ruin the good play and positioning of a player, when RNG does not allow a player to escape unscathed from horrible decisions, you can get back to me.

And by that time the sun will probably rise in the west and set in the east.
