Nope it is not balanced.
Nothing ever is in eyes of a bad player.
If it was Ostheer player would not have to playing only commander that allow them to skip grenadiers.
They do not relay on them.
These are simply too OP to pass up on them.
This is exactly why these are getting nerfed instead of grens getting buffed in any other way then formation change.
Moreover its not all about the exceptional performance of these units over grens, its about skipping as much resource expenditure to get to T2 asap for super early LVs and PGs, a dynamic that is very unintended for ost.
Once more, these feedback threads are not about what I want it about improving the game. That is also simply fact that you have fail to understand so far.
Then it is a high time you stop acting like a princess, thinking every single post that doesn't 100% agree with your personal agendas is a personal attack on you and spamming report button.
