Yeah, asking the pros. The hypocrisy at its finest. I will say it plain straight, i don't give a damn about pros, and a game is balanced so that EVERYBODY can play it. Want to balance it around pros? Ok then, all the players will leave. Have fun pros playing with each other 10 consecutive matches. I still remember how Imperial Dane got mad when he lost a 2v2 game and when i told him that it's funny that he complains when he loses 1 match out of 100, but when he wins 99 matches out of 100, he says nothing. I got a nice block from his stream that day. If this is an objective reasoning, then fine, whatever you say...

I said something similar and got perma banned

Storm Elite is right you know... Winrates are just that, winrates.
I dont get why the hostility against someone who doesnt agree with you.
Find another excuse aside GCS tournament. Even elite playes make bad decisions or make mistakes.

If a match vs OKW is hard for you, pls dont cry OKW OP...

Win rates are very important in a balance discussion. Most competitive games at least consider win rates in balancing factions. For example if a faction has a less than 40% winrate then something isn't right. For coh2 if all factions could fall into the 45-55% win rate then the game would be very well balanced. a 10% differential should be the margin for player based error in losses. Factions like USF and UKF with sub 40% win rates cannot all be based on the players considering these are all the best players in coh2.

Along with winrates you can also look at pick rates. Both USF and UKF fall way below any of the other 3 factions in winrate and pickrate. That means even when the faction was rarely picked the player more then likely lost with them.

Winrates per Faction:

Allies:
Sov: 51% overall, 53% vs Ost, 52% vs OKW
USF: 36% overall, 37% vs Ost, 36% vs OKW
UKF: 31% overall, 33% vs Ost, 30% vs OKW

Axis:
Ost: 53% overall, 47% vs Sov, 63% vs USF, 66% vs UKF
OKW: 57% overall, 48% vs Sov, 64% vs USF, 70% vs UKF

Pickrates per faction:

Allied games played: 351
Soviet: 207/351 59% pickrate
USF: 99/351, 28% Pickrate
UKF: 45/351, 13% pickrate

Axis game played: 351
OKW: 177/351, 50.5% pickrate
OST: 174/351, 49.5% pickrate

OKW has the 2nd highest pickrate and highest winrate amongst all factions, clearly they are pretty strong. I would hesitate to call them OP since they went relatively even against SOV, but against UKF and USF they destroyed them both.

With a combination of Winrate and pickrate you can conclude pretty convincingly that both USF and UKF need some adjustment to be viable. No competitive game should have factions with a 28% pick rate and 36% winrate (USF) or a 13% pickrate and a 31% winrate. Those are abysmal numbers that cannot be based off player error and/or favor. Many players notorious for their USF or UKF play never/rarely played the faction (IE Devm's USF 0 times played in gcs2 and Refero's winrate UKF played 3 times with a 0% winrate)

These GCS players probably aren't willing to step in considering how ready some people are to threaten and personally attack them when they dont like something

Hm this sounds familiar but I cant seem to put my hand on it

To be honest, that's exactly what you said. Maybe the wasp could be cheaper so as to not be such an investment or the grenade unlock to provide something more (in case of the new snares for ex). When you lack basic tools, it's hard to pinpoint how to fix a faction. Right now, i imagine UKF as OKW without snares on Volks and how that would ever work.

Other than the big glaring issues I'd say some tweaking to under performing units would be nice. IE Cromwell Price decrease and fixing the comet. But I feel like snares are going to really help the faction be usable next patch.

Fix usf teching.
