Some people prefer their success and failure to be entirely tied to dicerolls than to actual effort, apparently.

Where is the problem with that.

Everybody, except certain tryhards and tournement players like it. There is nothing wrong with having some rng in the game.

Ladder is meaningless for over 99.99999999% of the playerbase.
If you are skilled -> you will win nonetheless.

In terms of overall impact on your results abandons are negligible.

If you cant handle some bad rng -> dont play the game

Ever thought on how to implement this in game? for coh2/3

IMO it wouldnt fit the franchise. Core mechanics like cover, fog of war doesnt work in this enviroment.

i wonder, how players, who want to remove abandons, think about games with mechanics like perma death. Or games like xcom. Games which are designed to fuck you up at some point, because those little 5 % say, that you are going to miss the shot.

IMO these games are thrilling. It is not bad game design but the personal choice of the devs on how the game should be.

Since opinions on what is fun differ, there is no right or wrong. Same goes with the arguments, that is punishing risky plays etc. It is only an iteration on how the game could be, but not necessary on how the game should be.

Frankly, everything that pushes coh2 into the esport scene takes cool stuff away. And since there is only a small amount of real competitive players, a tourney mod is more than enough to cope with them. I understand that those players want to erase this kind of rng if money is on the line.

But for normal ladder games is means shit. Rank doesnt mean much outside of tourneys. And if you wanna climb ladder, the games were the mechanic might fuck you up are so rare, that it wont stop you from climbing.

Removing it wont achive anything therefore.

Edit: That doesnt mean, that there is no room for adjustments.

I like ideas for t1 and t2, since the weak early game and abstinence of viable builds for sov is their biggest drawback.
