While blobbing has always been an issue in CoH and CoH2, but a manageable one. I feel that blobbing can go either way for the blobbing player. It's easier to counter blobs when
1)Early game micro is decent; no lost squads (units with veterancy), o.k. map control
2)You're not losing too badly
It's easy to get pushed around by a blob and it can seem unstoppable. Having enough units to counter the blob is crucial. Having munitions helps, too. It may be necessary to have more than 1 HMG squad, firing from different angles. Using green cover for your own squads is good. It lets them fire into the blob longer before needing to retreat.
If you're in a decent, prepared position with depth and you have to retreat your squads piecemeal, it can be to your advantage. If your great at multitasking, it sometimes is possible to reinforce a squad, then bring it back to fight the blob, or capture territory when the blob retreats.
Using MGs to suppress parts or all of the blob is good. Sometimes players are banking on a flanking squad to take out an MG. Generally, the key is COMBINED ARMS and FOCUS FIRING squads.
It really is situational, how to deal with blobs. I've noticed the worst from OKW and the Americans... Soviets it seems have always been good with blobs depending on the patch, and my favorite faction is Ostheer. I don't blob in the traditional sense. I move my units together and take cover, no more than two squads in the same space (for fear of a lucky mortar or grenade, etc.). I'm smart about my 'blobbing' and I'm smart about what squad to shoot at and what units to get to counter blobs.
Also, the bias in the poll options are jokes. I learned a while ago that people in the community hate those who whine. Even if something really is OP (like the M15 AA HT), gripe about it in an intelligible, sophisticated way.
