Balancing games across different skill levels has always been impossible.

The problem is that there's no clear "target audience" for COH2. Does Relic/balance team care about the fanatical fanbase, semi-regular players, or the casuals? Because it's impossible to balance the game for all of them.

For a substantial length of time (several patches in a row after major KT nerfs), the KT was unusable in 1v1, and was used as a BM token. People like Price (rank 30) used it on stream to show off vs rank 200+ players he was stomping.

Yet at the lower levels of skill, where players simply charged headfirst into the KT, the KT was considered "OP". And to players who didn't play the game, it was considered "decent".

Another example would be MG42 spam. For low elo players, flanking is difficult to execute. Especially in team games, it can often be hard to counter because of narrow maps. For a casual 4v4 player who runs his 3 squads of rifles face-first into an MG42, the game can be a frustrating experience.

But can you seriously expect to balance the game around these players' opinions, just because they "deserve" a fair and balanced game? Well, they're playing it - it's their skills that are not properly balanced.
