Yea, the appetite for 1v1 is pretty much lost, or even for the whole game. But these kind of players with their name callings and bashing is just sad to watch.
Yes there are blobs, even in vCoH there were blobs. Gren spam was the most common thing a whermacht player did back then. Americans made 4 rifles which is the case right now aswell.. but back then, no one complained.
I consider this thread to be worth posting to. The CoH2 ranking system is so simple and boring that it doesn't motivate me to play for ranks. CoH had visual badges for your lvl and showed them at the loading screen, which i found to motivate me to play and get better.
I don't agree with the argument that it would then make people drop out of games, I don't remember there being so many early drops in vCoH, which makes me disagrees.
