Is this game actually balanced?

Post by deleted_user »

The meta keeps changing everytime and it's not suprising to see a top player changes his idea suddenly or someone who calls something as lame starts to call it lame.. like 2012 i remember when i played ports people were like ;

LOL YOU PLAY THIS NOOB CIV??.

GO PLAY FRANCE.

ONLY MU PORTO WINS IS IN MIRROR.

And now ;

NO POINT IN PLAYING VS PORTO BS..

MAKE GOONS AND RUN EVERYWHERE.

LAME CIV


ps ;

I dont think a lot of things changed at all but ideas are changing so fastly.. and people are being radical opponent to their previous idea's.

why does this happen?

Well the patch keeps changing so that has something to do with it. But generally I would say people did not know what they were doing even just a few days ago, only now do they finally "get" it!

Your poll is completely irrelevant from the topic's question.

Its not, and it will never be completely balanced, if such thing even exists. There are so many combinations, especially in team play, so its near impossible to achieve complete balance. 2 tiers is probably best we could hope to see with esoc patch....

You cant balance the individual match ups. Id argue best you can do is not having clear best civs and clear unplayable civs. Right now it seems pretty close to that. Brit/ports might be a bit strong, sioux iro a bit weak. Maybe russia is a little bit too strong too?

I don't know that Ports are too strong.

I don't see a top civ on EP, at all. Brits are certainly strong however absolutely not unbeatable either. I mean I'm newb sure but I just don't see a top civ. Maybe Otto is bottom though, they just don't have an eco.

honestly some civs are bottom in fp. like sioux and iro are really bad civ's for fp right now where they were the top tier for re patch.

Game is unbalanced, too many civs at the game, too hard to balance perfectly.

It is much more exciting to win a matchup that is unfavorable than doing the same tradepost semi ff every game and relying on micro.

It's exciting winning an unfavorable MU when you actually win it but by it's very definition this is uncommon. Personally, it's much more exciting to use ingenuity, intuition, and a little strategic insight in-game to make a dynamic play and this is most easily the case in a balanced game where such factors determine games, not a 4 min iro bb rush on re maps in qs.
