Ive always been a fan of developing my own strats, or at least putting my own slant on them, thats when I get the most enjoyment. It feels great to win with something origional rather than just copying.
I also feel that an unconventional strat is more likely to catch your opponent out.
Sadly, unconventional strats (that actually work, which are rarer than hens teeth) just lead to your opponent having tantrums in chat about how OP XYZ faction is and then rage quiting after the game has been going for 5 minutes...
I too am sick of this game, many members of its total partisan community, as well as how the PR for the game is run by those on high.
I've put a lot of time and effort into CoH2, it was one of my favourite games, whatever its significant flaws, I kept coming back to it because there's no game out there which does what it does. Playing it now however is infuriating and depressing. I'll probably keep coming back to it as I always do (mores the pity), but when I do I'm expecting to find a poorly balanced mess, with imbalanced and ahistorical unit line ups, creeping nazi fanboyism and the perception that certain factions deserve to win beyond a certain point.
That's my piece, disagree all you want. In CoH2 I simply have nothing to be excited about. If there were another game like CoH2 whose community wasn't even worse (Men of War), then I'd have left long ago.
