The argument is more along the lines that the Comet and Cromwell need to be adjusted to allow for room for the Churchill to be viable. At the moment there it no point in getting a Churchill when you can get a Comet that bounced 88 rounds, one shots squads, and has a great gun while also being nimble as hell and great for diving with the hammer engine boost.
So I've recently got back into the game as a casual player. I am an avid consumer of streams and other youtube videos, so I am still well aware of what's going on (+thanks to coh2.org off course!)
Recently I've matchmaked 3 times in a row vs. the same player, he had 2.1hours into the game, and was already playing at some advanced level.
Obviously by the 3rd time I figured out this was a Smurf account. Needless to say, I was overmatched on all 3 games and it really ruined my 1v1 experience that night. I asked the guy what was the point of smurf, he avoided to answer but offered to wintrade on the last game, which made me even more mad at him. I don't think he was a streamer or anything like that...so my question is, why smurf, and what pleasure do you get out of it?
Other than for streaming purpose or reviews of the ELO system, I can only see negatives in this (ex: Paul AD and his countless trolls). I think Steam/Relic should take steps to avoid this kind of situation, or at least make it very transparent what's going on.
That's it , I'm out. Feel free to share your Smurf experience here.
The lower population of the COH2 community means higher level players are stuck in long queues.
