I am just going to leave this here.. This is the best window to see how balance have effected the game before it all settles towards equilibrium.

Most patches have resulted in an immediate Axis swing, which is the best indicator of balance shift before user settle into their new elo.

PATCH 1.8

Patch 1.7

(Minor wehr and USF swing)

Patch 1.6

I am of course interested in your thoughts, but to me, this is indefensible.

This seems like a terrible window to determine patch effect and draw conclusions from. Your comparisons seem to be thousands of games for the older patches and less than one hundred for the new patch.

52 games played.... Jesus Christ some people have been sleeping in physics/maths classes.

Holy moly on a pogo dolly.
This is literally junk data. Anyone with half a brain cell would dismiss this data.

For a game with such complexity and so many variables. Literally infinite number of scenarios... I'd say that 50 000 unique, distinct games would be a good number to start with. Below 10 000 you're still in the junk data area.

yes yes, grant, -25percent manpower reforce cost, 80manpower 17pouder at, -40percent cooldown ammu storage ,150manpowe cache is so weak, give it to axis

52 1v1 games is hardly an acceptable sample sizes. Come back with you have a larger sample size of all match types. Until then, not interested in your whining.
