It probably will never (and should never) get changed anyway but I am just very curious about what people think on this. I'm not salty at all about blob strats and I even use small-blob-strats myself, but I hear complaints about this strategy in CoH since 2009 when I joined this game franchise.

Do you think blob strats should get nerfed in CoH2? A very simple and effective way would be something like a "Horde-debuff". Those of you who ever played Command & Conquer: Generals will know that China's troops got a mechanic called Horde bonus. If 4 or more units of the same type got put together in a "blob" so they were in the proximity of each other, they received significant combat bonuses.

So in CoH2 it would be the other way around: If you put 4 or more units of the same type together, they get a penalty like +25% received damage & +25% received accuracy. Does not include units of teammates.


Would this benefit the game or would it make the game just more frustrating and unfun cuz certain strategies cannot get countered anymore due to assymetrical design?

Commandos, mostly. Infiltration if you can. Keeps the vet off them at worst, and the ability to advance through cover and hold positions in stealth make a big difference in the amount of indirect fire you take.

That said, brit indirect is still hideously lacking. A well done MG/LeiG combo is an absolute pain to remove as UKF.

+1

LeIgs are really annoying to deal with as Brits, and apart from what you and SeductiveCardboardBox wrote, I think only a really aggressive inf section play - preferably with the support of a command vehicle AEC- work against this I would say.

On a side note, mortar pit does NOT counter LeIgs, the LeIgs counter the mortar pit!

I am not sure if Sov + USF is the way to go as it seems ineffective vs OPKW in many circumstances compared to UKF, and there is a lot double OKW one-trick teams in 2v2 queue.. you need 1 brit player I think.
