Currently devs only supervise what is subject to balance or not, they don't change the game anymore as they susidized the community to chose now how to balance out units.
And to answer the question you can read most posts and ideas here to see 99.8% are completely clueless and biased.

When balance they pick either what is being talked or complained about the most, this is the trend and they pair that with tournament stats and see what is being abused or what is "meta".
Consider also that their paradigm is to make the game less meta as possible, as in they want the game to offer a wide variety of viable strats.
The irony is that the more it gets patched, the more "flowcharted" it becomes.

Now it's not rare to find relic devs watching streams of known competitive players they also use these to check out for their latest patch.


The devs look only at tournament because this is where it matters the most because players who qualified at the highest pool understand the game even better than the devs do, they know what can be abused and how.
See the story about order 227 commander and when they asked VonIvan to do the testing for them.

So yes, in order for them to tweak the game they use tournament stats, and because this is where experience gets real, unlike their in-house experiments.

Excuse me? Would you like a trip to the uninstall button then? No one is forcing you to play or be disrespectul to free working developers. I would like you to experience that feeling before spitting such blasphemy.

You are always free to disagree but not to attack freely at others work and dignity.

You don't need to show me the way, I have had the game uninstalled long before this last patch, and as expected, the game balance simply got worse...

It was a bad design from start, so just remove it and find another way to make the M42 not shit.

I have no doubt it's a good idea but it's all potential.
In practice all it resulted in is importing old vcoh assets over the new game only a few talented and serious people are commited to mod, in any game where it is possible, given on how low the playerbase is for coh 2 in comparison, I wouldn't see much good stuff out of it.

Take a look at the current workshop for an idea: MLP skins, Anime paints, vcoh recycling.

If they could do it now, which I don't think they can, would they just enable it so that the game can get spammed with vcoh imports and anime mods like they are already swarming the workshop?

When they make these changes, do they actually believe the maxim buff is a "buff" like it means something or makes it good to use now?


The rest is all good, but I disagree about cons needing to be stronger in late game.
