Thxfully we have the changelog thread and it's as easy as doing a control + F.

3 changes made it good.

- Soviet rework. The whole dichotomy of only getting 2 tiers, made the vehicle tiers arrive at a certain point which limited lighter ones. Putting M5, T70 and Su76 on same tier, allowed it to arrive at a sensible time.
- 200% buff to suppression. Yeah, it was bad.
- 50% buff to damage.

Correct me if i'm wrong, but that generally applies to niche heroes who are really oppressive in low elos. You are not going to see a core champ who is contested in high elo buffed, because low ELO players can't use it.

90% of the playerbase.

My opinion is: you balance around 1v1 and fine tune upwards while adjusting problematic units, abilities and combinations which are not something you'll see on 1v1.

I'll also refute in some other way: who discusses balance in the context of anything other than good players play or people who can use things effectively?
In any other game or genre you would dismiss anyone who is not around Master/Diamond or basically top 1%/10% (here it would translate to around rank50/150). The trick been that you make things easier to use for that 90% but at the same time, trying to keep the depth and skill ceiling high.
