Idk, I pick civs every time... but I specifically try to avoid picking the meta civs (at least, as much as I can help it given the map)... I usually like to play the "Tier 2" civs on any given map. They are usually just about as good as the meta picks anyway
Yea that's ok I guess. But still. A-B tier civs are better than the random civs in general. Even vs S tier.
Megarandom getting teutons vs a picked mongols is virtually unwinnable
