Current patch: Remember when i said the ostruppen,5man and assgrens were the only viable strats? Well they all got nerfed to the ground and essentially became meme units. All of them.

And then add on top them having their asses so far up their ass that even when you have a FIFTEEN to TWO vote against a change, when they LITERALLY INVITED PEOPLE TO A DISCORD TO ASK FOR THEIR FEEDBACK AND THEN PROCEED TO IGNORE IT AND COMPLETELY RUIN THE META BY MAKING THE M20 COMPLETELY FUCKING BROKEN??!?!??!
This is just cherry picking to paint a skewed picture. These votes were there to help make certain decisions - not to be leading. Regardless, the majority of the vote outcomes were used to determine further changes. Some weren't. 12 out of 18 vote outcomes were put in the final patch. Would have been 13/18 if Relic hadn't vetoed the T-34 Ram to vet 1 change.
The M20 vote
was taken into consideration: the build time reduction was reduced from -20s initially, to a middle ground of -10s in the final patch, with room to further reduce (remove) it in a follow up patch.
On Assault Grenadiers I agree that the nerf was overkill, although the current option is similar or even better than the one that was voted on (sprint behind vet 1) by you amongst others. I think a simple cost increase (and cost reduction at vet 1) would've been sufficient. It was a last minute change without any testing and imo it was a mistake to rush this in.
