Who are you? Marco1698 the noob captain who plays for 2 years and doesnt improve because he thinks he knows everything?
Everyone is entitled to their opinion. If someone disagrees with you, try to explain your thoughts to make it clearer for people to understand - your thoughts could really help some people to improve.
We know that India 10/10 requires a low skill level and can be effective. Also, people are overly scared of an agra - so decent map placement will always give the Indian player an advantage. We also know with Japans shrine boom theres a small window of opportunity to push before their eco advantage kicks in / before they can mass. To beat such strategies you need to know the timings and scout well to work out what people are doing. This happens less frequently at low levels. We have a tendency on this forum to always talk about things from the optimal point of view, but we need to remember that not everyone is PR 50.
More people understand France and therefore this could make them to be perceived as easier to play against. The community has become better at not over committing and understand the importance of being able to contain their opponents. Previously people would over commit into base / sit on TC, or over engage in fights on hunts where the French player could use the tanking abilities of CDB to turn a battle to their advantage.
Sioux never used to be played as a 1v1 civ but was always banned from higher level team games. The current meta has changed, and in 1v1 they can be effective. Were still working out how best to counter Sioux, and until as a community we adapt and strategies and BOs emerge that can consistently win, were undoubtedly going to hear more about Sioux being OP.
