did the patch do any balance changes?

i play pc so i was just wondering if the balance of the game is still terrible after the patch. leave comments below of how u feel about the balance!!

Apparently they changed scout units to cost power now, we won’t know further changes until they publish the patch notes however.

In regards to balance, I never thought it was terrible. Minor nerfs to Forge economy and sentinels with a buff to Elite Rangers would be perfect

that’s because you don’t play the game at the highest level. if you did you’d know the game has terrible balance.

If you’re referring to jackrabbit rushes or spamming sentinels/marines I have encountered that. It’s also hard to define “highest level” without a competitive ranking system to back it up.

Please try to not judge me based on the fact I haven’t spent as many hours in the game as you.

Its not as bad as before, air defense units actually do damage now at the base and protect it. Have not got pushed early unlike pre-patch

The two main unbalanced issues i see. Still have not fixed the Isabel Sentinal issue where you can spam those units at no cost at all and they are way too strong as an early tech unit. Also i like to see it cost more to buy health regeneration air units so they will not see a spamming of them.

based on you’re service record u are not qualified to provide balance feedback. and im sure you’ve encountered rabbit, marine rushes, and surely you have failed. you can’t win games lol.

Grunt mob is now 60 blood fuel locust is now 80

lol “I’ve played the game longer so that means I’m better and qualified to balance a game better than you”. First games shouldn’t solely be balanced for the highest level of play. When balancing a game all levels of play should be considered so that the game is enjoyable for as many people as possible regardless of their skill level or how much time they play. Second just because you’ve played the game a lot doesn’t make you good especially since there is no ranked system right now to verify that. Third you didn’t explain why you’re more qualified to provide feedback or why the balance is “terrible”. Right now your argument can be summed up by saying “the balance is terrible” “why? lol you’re bad and cant contribute to this argument because you haven’t spent all of your time playing this game since release”.

Bloodhound has over a 5.0 MMR FYI. You can only get that high from beating good players so yeah that can be verified.

Want to know how?

Also, Starcraft was balanced around the highest level of game play and is among the most popular RTS game right at the moment.

you can’t balance a game at the low level because people don’t understand how to play the game. thats like saying the NBA should change the size of the hoop so short people can dunk! give me a break. no you balance the game at the highest level of play. then you make a proper match making where lower level opponents get matched together and problem solved.

To be fair, the Banished are incredibly underpowered compared to the UNSC, so it’s natural for a UNSC main to have higher win rate than a Banished main. If you two used the same leaders I think it’d be easier to compare skill. But without a ranked system and with underpowered factions it’s pretty difficult to tell.

I had like 75% to 80% win rate on Halo Wars 1, and I have around 55% in Halo Wars 2, I don’t think I’m THAT bad, but the Banished faction is severly screwed and I’ve gotten like 10 to 15 percent disconnects.

blaky if banished r under powered than play a different leader simple or just be content with getting ran over by unsc players

I enjoy playing Banished more. I like some of the banished units better, I was a Brute main back in HW1. I refuse to play OP leaders, specially because they will get nerfed. I’ve always been this stuborn in every game I play.

It appears to be more of the game itself instead of the units and the abilities.

Not arguing that game has balancing issues but how would you know what any of them are when you only use 2 leaders lol

Lol brute was an op leader in hw1 after all the nerfs to prophet

This is why we don’t use win rates as skill level. The game is horribly unbalanced, therefore, a trash -Yoink- player with forge can beat a good player with Decimus every single time.

Only 2 leaders are currently viable to win consistently. And really its only Forge that is actually viable.

If only 2 leaders are viable, in a game of 7 different leaders, there is a damn balancing issue.

Did you not read it I was not arguing that there are balancing issues but how can you know what they are without playing different leaders but it’s cool I understand you caught a case of the stupids
