Maybe players haven't adapted yet to the new playstyle.
And it is true if the Sovs gets a bunch of caches and rushes T3 it is out at 7:00.
Because they know these particular OST players regular 2v2 build is many times a very heavy T-1 build that can very well skip T-2 and hold out waiting for T-3.
And rushing T-3 would for sovs be the perfect counter for a heavy T-1 build.
Maybe, just maybe this isn't as much of a balance issue as it is play and counterplay. And adapting to what your enemy is doing`?
right now to get 1v1 game in a patch mod you spend like half an hour cuz ussualy they put you in 2v2 or 4v4 games. I dont make much difference betw them.
Baiscaly they didnt play enough yet. And whining non stop.
"Doesnt have a counter BS"
you should get t3 to counter t70 or m5 ??? r u crazy? t2 has panzergrens and pak40 to counter any kind of mechanized units
Right now there are several mins when germs are supposed to play defensively, tech and adapt to oponent. Not just trying to basepin opponent with heavy T0-T1 build in which they have big advantage.
And if they succeed in that they get a reward - bunch of medium tanks of their choice ostwind, panz4, stug, puma can be earlier not sure how much.
Id addition to medium armor. They can field a second OP sniper at this moment. And what they do in mid game is just insane - constant MP bleed if you can micro them both.
