Re: Game Balance and Matchmaking - We want your feedback!
Its really shocking to see people actually defending the gameplay mechanic. Okay. what do i do when all my units are level 7-8 and when an opponent sends in a level 11 rifelman? thats 10 tiberium he invested. so i dont go barracks okay. already im on the backfoot and reacting to a strategy my opponent did. not to mention i had to wait a while to actually see what starting unit he went but nvm that lets move on. ill start with helipad or war factory and bring out a rhino or a talon. well he sent in 2 level 11 rockets and guess what. the rocket beats the rhino and talon. so im already abt 80-100 tiberium down with still not enough items to counter his 40 50 tiberium worth of units.
No its not always about counters. Its stupid to see my lvl7 40 tiberuim shocks get destroyed by a lvl11 10 tiberium rifelmen.
What these amazing videos and tutorials dont teach u is how to play against a player thats atleast 2 or levels above u.
Unit leveling system is absolute trash and nothing but a P2W model. and its amazing how 50% of the time its not even a challenge battle. like the so called 'rivals fair play' mechanic goes to sleep when im versing lvl 11-13 units when all of mine are 7-8.
And i think i can qualify my remarks and know what im talking abt cuz im a rank 20 player with no unit above level 8 and most at 7 and still in the masters league 2. So i dont need players to tell me to improve my game when im only a few points off of the tiberium league while still without most of the OP units in the game.
And okkay. ill take ur argument for a second. if its like a sports league that i make it out of the lowers ones and ill naturally have a hard time fighting the top players but what should i do then? EA should recognize me leaving the lower leagues so quickly and reward me and other player alike with enough credit to upgrade our units to atleast get close to them not a couple of lousy rare crates that dont do enough. What option do i have now? what do u suggest i do versing 3-4 levels above me? keep losing and earn credit at the speed of 1 upgrade a month? nope. so i pay? well theres ur answer and what EA wants u to do. no wonder its the most hated company in America. P.s When teams get promoted in sports leagues, they are offered a much much higher sum of money for being in that league not to mention the rewards they get for being promoted. 100 Million pounds when u get promoted to the premier league. thats more than the budget of over half the teams in the league. since u felt so comfortable with sports metaphors. complete them next time.
Its NOT all about counters. EA cud give u a deck of 20 units and a decent player that has units >2lvls above u will still ALWAYS beat u let alone with a normal deck barring silly mistakes. that makes playing the game absolutely toxic. And it wouldve been okay if this was a once in a 3 or 4 battles thing. BUT ive been on a probably 20 30 game losing streak simply because im versing units 3 or 4 levels above me. its my 4th day in the game and ive already stopped playing. Such is the state of this P2W model.
