So , everyone happy with AOE4 different Civ different build and strategy , not like aoe2 everyone go 20 pop scout and 21 maa into archer or drush
But at the same time
They care winrate , and tell someone low winrate = too weak ,
this is right and wrong
Lets me talk about this ,
if you only look winrate,
this game no way be a balance game.
You want balance is just a dream.
Because you dont understand how it works
Now Chinese low winrate, right ?
but if Devs not nerf Siege , let Chinese playable , maybe give some buffs too , chinese up to 50% winrate ,
Chinese main so happy they will get 50% winrate
then the problem right now is ,
They so good at late game and â– â– â– â– in early game
Because winrate is telling you ,
70% boom map + 30 % open map
(70+30)/2
Chinese still get 50% winrate
And we cant say this is balance
how to nerf Chinese to not boom so good and give them options to play open map.
This is what balance should do
because their lowest winrate is open map and maybe water early game or some hybrid map ,
they are weak in those
But every Chinese main just care the siege nerf ,
if they not nerf chinese siege , winrate just like , 80% boom map , 30% open map/hybrid map , you think this is balance ?
Yes , you get 45%-50% winrate , very balance game i love it !
Really ?
For example , English Farms,
If you pick English play water map , what farms buff give you ? Nothing
Chinese in open map , You want to rush ? or go Song and boom ?
Boom in open map ? Available?
If you dont have any options to rush/ boom in Open map or water map ,
then how come you have good winrate ?
And chinese design is just like that
If you go Song and push , some civs already castle age , they just have better combo then your Song Rush , even you FC , you still dont have any powerful strategy as Mongols or Rus
Can you play Hybrid Map like Rus , Delhi or maybe just rush like Mongols ?
No , you cant
Few Civs they cant play Hybrid Map
and heres 7-8 Hybrid Maps in map pool
thats why their winrate so low
in top level ( tournament )
Tournament Rule , you only can pick civ 1 time
you wont and you cant pick Chinese in every single tournament game
You cant pick 1 civ twice in bo3 bo5
Maybe you lose then you can , whatever,
But if there a map , Chinese has 80% winrate , you will pick chinese instantly
Thats call broken game right ?
No one care what map you weak
So i am not saying dont care winrate, you should also care more about options , what you can do in every map
Not only siege
so chinese problem is about they have so many map they just so bad
If buff chinese early game , will they snowball be unable to stop in late game
Because they supposed to be weak early game , strong late game
You want to balance the game only Arabia ? Want them all can fight on water ? What you want ?
Only care winrate , this game never balance
Because English ship can not farm on water and get the bonus
and Khan cant swim , even Mongols really good with tower rush
Why only care winrate
If map pool change , even no balance patch
Give chinese more big map to boom , chinese can easy get good winrate
Now delhi just like this , every map playable , and too strong hybrid map , thats why their winrate so good
Every civs should be like this
