I'm not sure I agree with that. It was overpowered before without a doubt, but it still seems pretty insane from the games I've played vs it. Even the Chinese monk seems ridiculous on cover mode still.
You can't be in cover mode and snipe the falcs at the same time. Anyway, it's an age up politician (2 noble huts so 650resources) and an age 3 shipment (potentially 1000w). If your opponent invests 3500VS to snipe 1 falc, you're totally fine. The WC isn't scary anymore.
That's another discussion though.
I don't know how you can expect to have your opinion respected when you rarely show any respect yourself.
So I'm not "in the same boat as you and any top player". Dunno if your previous comment was merely a bait because you wanted to say that. Anyway, it seems like I'm not the only player who can't communicate and feels disrespected by Zoi so maybe I'm not the only problematic person.
I think a group of top players + Zoi could be a great way to get EP into a spot everyone can be happy with. This can still happen. But it requires everyone to stop behaving like children and show a little bit of respect for each other.
I don't know if it can still happen, it's up to you and the other ESOC staff members I guess.
And please, don't act like the victim here. I'm angry and frustrated because EP8 has many changes I'd call bad or "random". Still, I tried to explain in a constructive way why I think that the ark change is a bad one :
They were better before in 1v1 games. You're not going to make more than 5-10 of them, so it's just 100/200w (ie 2-3 maces). The 2 range however is just much more important when you want to trade 5 arrow knights for 2 falcs defended by a skirm mass, especially when you can only train 5 units per batch.
And you started to judge me :
I think you jump to conclusions very quickly sometimes, and I really doubt you have enough experience to say that 28 range down from 30 makes the unit useless when it was so good before.
Still, my next comment was totally fine :
That's no what I said lol, nice straw man fallacy. 1 pop 30 range ark were too good in some specific situations in team games. In 1v1, they were just fine so it's not like they were "so good before". And 28 doesn't "make the unit useless", it makes it bad. You still need to train ark to counter artillery because you don't have a good cav/ranged cav unit against artillery, but ark are worse than before.
I'm not jumping quickly to conclusions, just saying that ark were considered to be bad (and that's why they got buffed in the first place) and now they're worse than before the buff in 1v1 xD. Don't you think that's an issue ? A unit is too weak so you nerf it
And you started with the agressive comments.
I don't know what to say to you man. I think anyone can see from how angry you get about every single change no matter how large or how small that you jump to conclusions very quickly, especially given how rarely you play the game yourself--which is exactly the reason you yourself criticize Zoi. You claim he doesn't play the game, so it doesn't make sense for him to make changes, but then you rarely play either, and when you do it's for a week or so every few months, and usually only vs majors/captain or unrated games on forced matchups and maps vs decent players.
No matter what arguments you make you cannot be the sole authority on the game.
Sure, I stopped answering nicely after that, but don't play the victim. I'm not the "mean childishrouga" while you're Saint Mitoe.
