As a top ten player, have you ever felt this way about a balance issue in CoH2? Not to go into anything specific as this isn't a balance thread; just curious how people at different levels approach things.
I'm top 10 2v2 random, I'm certainly not top 10 1v1 material at all. In 2v2 random, usually you play against people who are not so good. So if you are skilled enough, even when the game is not so balanced you can win. Of course you need a competent teammate though.
In this patch though, I really do think playing as USF in 1v1 is a total waste of your time. It doesn't matter how good you are, if you face a skilled OKW on Langreskaya, Kharkov, or Crossing, you will lose every time. The game will start out hard and gradually become impossible, or if you make zero mistakes, it will start out hard and stay hard. I don't think it is really worth the frustration.
