I would love if M10 got +5range at vet 2. Puma can gets increase range with vet4, why M10 can't?

It's true though. You're playing a game where the main objective is to defeat your opponent. In general, winning in a boring way is a lot more fun than losing in a creative way for most people. Look at the CZ-75 in CSGO a few months ago, Marine-SCV all-ins in SC2 during the first year, Infestor-Brood Lord a few years later. Hell, even Piospam in CoH1. For a lot of competitive players, winning IS where the fun in the game comes from. I guarantee if you asked top tournament players, most of them would say that. When you're competing against someone else, winning is fun, and losing isn't.

So if there's one or two strategies that have the highest rate of success, people are going to use them, because it's all about giving yourself the best chance to win. That's why I've always hated the one-dimensional strategic nature of CoH2. With the exception of a few commander abilities, your entire strategic gameplan revolves around developing the most efficient unit composition. Without upgrades or some equivalent secondary strategic choice, the metagame devolves into finding the most efficient unit composition for the given patch and using it.
