I am an IpKai fanboy. I trust his knowledge. His scepticism is hard-won, not internet asshattery of the sort that one finds here in abundance. In short, when he speaks I invariably listen, stroking my immaculately-groomed beard and nodding in agreement at his fell wisdom.
However, this is where I disagree. With knobs on.
IpKai is an esports advocate par excellence. This focus on a narrow sliver of the wider game is why he, and quite a lot of the tournament 1v1 / 2v2 hardcore sometimes miss the point.
CoH2 needs solid, well-polished core game-play *and* it needs shiny-shiny pretty things for the folks who engage with CoH2 (whisper it, lest the sky fall in) differently from you.
I fall in the middle. On one hand, I follow tournies and love watching skilled players. I'm currently getting into and really enjoying 2v2. On the other, I'm a 3v3 / 4 v 4 scrub a lot of the time, I like the occasional mindless stomp and I love aesthetic tweaks to the game.
And even that puts me in a minority of the players who fund this game and keep it alive.
Seriously, the competitive community needs to stop wallowing in a swamp of righteous entitlement and Smell The Coffee. You are whining yourself into irrelevance.
I really like extra features but at the moment CoH2 is a burger made with a really high quality bun and salad but the meat itself is a piece of leather overcooked in an oven for a day.
Whatever your poison be if the main game isn't up to snuff the extras aren't gonna keep people around for a long time.
I actually mostly play team games and I get sick of dealing with massive volks / obers blobs every game and the big ISU-152 gibbing squads from screens away. I'd really love for every game not to turn into the same shit show every time. Then there's the bugs that aggravate players like men getting stuck during retreat or the little micro freezes while playing.
