Why do the devs hate gdi?
I know many will disagree, but i find nod to be very op at the moment. I know there are players who are better with gdi than nod such as alicia. But on average masters and above players win more as ...

Is that so? Ok lets do a quick count in tib league in cnc tv.
In tib league in cnc tv at the moment, i count a total of 20 gdi players, out of which, only 5 have the pred in their deck. Thats 25%.
Conversely, I count a total of 40 nod players, out of which 24 players have the scorp in their deck. Thats 60%.
Now you do the math about which one players find more useful. Oh wait I already did the math for you.
Btw, it is quite telling that there are only 20 gdi players in tib league cnc tv, while at the same time there are 40 nod players in tib league. This is indicative of which faction has more players in tib league. I rest my case.
So let me get this straight:
You took a comment 3 weeks ago after which was posted preds and scorps were nerfed and thus have seen diminished usage and based observations today to reflect on the meta 3 weeks ago, sound about right or am I missing anything? Haha. Tone down the aggro my friend, you are going to hurt yourself.
First up, C&C TV is not an indicator of anything other than "this game was played recently" and does not indicate the number of gdi or nod games.
GDI meta is a little in limbo right now because they all relied on preds who got smacked with the nerf bat. While NOD rolled with it because scorpion were already meh, this was pretty devastating to most gdi players. So yea, players are playing their NOD armies a little more than their GDI counterparts because NOD is fun and still competitive where as GDI is pretty boring right now and struggles against the current splash air meta where their options are spam pitbull or spam talon. But NOD gets fun units like stealth tanks and phantoms.
ALL that said, GDI tech is just as viable as it was before the nerfs as it is now. It works, and gets the occasional win condition, but the avatar is just better and more fun, so might as well play NOD tech.
I won't be as edgy as you and leave you with a sarcastic remark, so enjoy your day =D

lets see how it looks with the new gdi unit but i dont think it will make a big change. lets see
I would sure want a new GDI unit after this. The Guardian, a bulkier cousin of the APC. It costs slightly more and can drop one of four units. Rifleman squad at 30%, Missile Squad at 25% and Shock-wave, grenadier and nothing at 15% each. The 15% nothing chance is that either there is no infantry inside or the squad died as the vehicle exploded. Scarabs anyone, would turn the guardian into a smoldering husk with charred infantry as a side dish.
