It is my professional opinion that Relic is an incompetent & just bad dev studio. My problem is Relic had/has the chance to make CoH2 great and have a growing esports scene. Instead they ignore every top community member who tried to help, which I wouldn't have as much of a problem with if they actually succeeded. However CoH2 & DoW3 shows how incompetent Relic is. DoW3 needed the surrender button hotfixed in, first patch took a month and was delayed a week, poor fundamental balance design and poor overall balance. DoW3 is brand new but suffering from all the same problems CoH2 suffers with.

On a personal level, I don't like Relic because of their treatment of the community. We have had sooooo many people who tried and who continue to try to make something of CoH2 and our esports scene but Relic ignores them and/or doesn't support them. Speaking for myself, I received 0 support for my stream even though I was one of our few major streamers. This is especially true during the interim period between ESL & Warpaint since no one was streaming or playing during that time.

On my visionary point, you misinterpreted it. I'm saying there isn't any visionary person at Relic since if there was, they wouldn't be asking what randoms on the forums think because they would already know. Riot doesn't have surveys asking what people kind of champs and item updates they want. Blizzard didnt have a community powwow asking what people wanted for Overwatch. Even if there was a great forward thinking dev, it wouldn't matter since they can't even get basic balance patches out on time. Lastly it doesn't matter if there is a visionary in the community since they can't do anything because Relic believes they know best and disregards the community.

I don't want to comment on the Barton situation but Relic owed the community an official response. Its one thing for Barton to receive 0 punishment but with a divided community, they needed to explain their ruling. It their job so is it really arrogant to expect some type of response? Real Talk: it didnt matter who was in the right or wrong since community manager Kyle didn't like me so he ruled against me and went as far as to rig my warpaint bracket by putting me at 32 out of 32 seed vs Barton (It should be noted the brackets were leaked to certain community members, including players in the tourny. If a leaked & rigged brackets happened in a real esport, there would be an investigation. Another example of Relic's mismanagement & apathy).

Professionally and personally, I didn't want to waste any more of my time with Relic. Professionally because I know they can't make a good game & esports scene. Personally because I don't like them.

As for trolling Hans, we are friends. I've never done anything negatively malicious towards Hans. It is disingenuous to equate my relationship with Hans to anything negative.
