Sure, when players lose they may feel an exaggerated sense that RnG cost them the game.
Unfortunately, I'm painfully aware that RnG has not cost me any games, just my own bad play.
I suppose most of my RnG complaints are fixable by changing squad-clumping. mortar one-shots might go away if not that for that.
So I agree you with that probably RnG is not such a serious issue.
I have another feeling about blobs - I think it spoils the gameplay. That's a matter of taste though. If you're into blobbing up, then you'll probably be enjoying CoH2 very much.
And why call other forum users cry babies? We could probably get by without insults.
Fixed it for you |
I think people are complaining because it is TOO random.
This is why the World Poker Tour doesn't use wildcards or jokers. That would add an unacceptably high level of randomness.
I agree RnG has its place in CoH but not in its current form.
I still think that's a myth. As long as the better player wins everything's fine.
Edit: And the whole myth has developed from scrubs shouting RNG after they lose even though they're not even close to a level where RNG decides games. It's the same with all the BLOB whiners. |
Do you know how dumb it is to get emotionally invested into something you have no control over? You're probably one of those people, and if so, you are retarded. Any true man who has a true sense of logic would not get that emotionally invested to the degree you are talking about. To give you an example go talk to a Surgeon, or better yet talk to a Cardio Surgeon. (My father is one) and he'll tell you (as he has raised me) that the most important thing is 'state of mind', and not to get too high or too low, if you let petty issues (Such as a soccer game result) control your emotions you're bound to have screw ups in life, in driving, in working, in relationships with others, everything and anything. It's one of the major causes along with substance abuse that drives people to make poor decisions. People who grow up tend to be able to make that differentiation, but then again not everyone grows up (Which is probably true for the majority of the COH2 community).
If you still disagree, I would love to see you go under the table with a surgeon who is emotionally invested and is having your definition of a 'Bad Day.' Sure you can sue him for Malpractice etc. etc. etc. but it still goes back to why you don't get emotionally invested into things to which you have no control over.
Each individuals has a capacity to which they can have pure focus/concentration and energy. What you choose to 'waste' yours on, is up to you, but those decisions can easily affect your life and where you end up in the grand scheme of things.
If you know a surgeon, go ask him yourself, if you don't know one, try to find one ask them. I promise you he will tell you that if anything he enjoys watching soccer, has a favorite team etc. etc. But he won't let the outcome of a match adversely affect his overall emotions. I'm over 1,000 miles away from you and I'm certain if you talk to one he'll say exactly that.
All I was saying is that my comparison to soccer is perfectly valid. I never claimed to be one of those people. My key point is that taking a hobby seriously like many coh2 players do is nothing unusual and considered normal at least in my culture.
Your post is nothing more than a theory. You could also argue that getting worked up over things that are completely irrelevant from an objective point of view functions as sort of an outlet that helps you to be able to stay calm when it comes to life challenges that actually matter. |
This isn't a Soccer Game, there is nothing they have in common other then 2 teams, and even the teams are hardly random. They way the scoring system is different, the way they win is different. Soccer had Refs, and if you wanna call refs RNG, then maybe....
So please tell me, what does the fact that CoH2 players take their game too seriously have to do with RNG ? The similiarities to sports games couldn't be more obvious. And I'm not reffering to the players here because for them football is a profession so it's completely logical that they take it 100% seriously. But think about the fans. There are plenty of people who consider their day ruined when their team lost even though it has zero actual impact on them.
Your point is basically that you shouldn't take CoH2 seriously because due to the high RNG factor you don't have enough influence on the outcome of the game. (which is bullshit btw) So how much impact does a soccer fan (or any sports fan for that matter) have on the game he's watching ? None, literally no impact at all. And yet it's completely normal in germany to get worked up over a soccer match. |

Well, people go crazy about all kinds of irrelevant stuff. Sports for example, have you ever been to a soccer game ? The hardcore fans get seriously mad all the time for completely irrational reasons. It's probably the same with the other sports. |
Unless you are dealing with scotts spam the panther performs better in every Circumstance, it still remains a good solution if you lost your t3, but you definitely shouldn't just get the jp4, unless you are planning on doing a t1+t2 strat with call in infantry and possibly a light vehicle (I like to do that with the LJI one).
No, just not, an ISU rapes the jp4 and just today I destroyed a jp4 with a jackson easily, granted he used it badly but I've never ever seen a jackson not penetrate a jp4 since the last patch.
You're wrong JP4 is superior. |
The stats you linked prove you wrong actually |
T2 is still pretty good, you think elite troops should be higher or lower?
Tiger Ace is still formidable enough that you have to be get ready to counter it and vetted mortars are very dangerous.
Mech Assault is T1 in 1v1, but drops off in larger games
I must admit that after seeing Luvnest vs Vindicare yesterday I feel like I might have been wrong. I initially thought that Elite troops at T2 is too high. I still think that Fortifications is overrated tho. |
arrows and tactical map, like Jesulin
+1, a very high percentage of the good players use this
even though they probably use WASD instead of arrow keys |
