Everyone picks OP Picks because Microsoft isnt capable of balancing this game and if you get random civs you either end up with Portuguese or some non-meta decent pick. Goths are basically OP now with a freaking 53% win rate (free loom, however, made this deserves to be fired) Franks are STILL OP as **** because instead of applying for example 25% HP on knights NO they have to give them an S+ Scout Rush on top.
People resign after being raided instead of fighting on like they used to on voobly, there are noob players who have no clue how to play the game, go MAA archers as Pocket with any civs or create Missionaries (wtf?), in 4v4 the game just basically becomes a lagfest, despite benchmark rankings (there must be some way to bypass it)
Then there are smurfers who should basically be treated as hackers (ruin the game for 5 or 7 other people) and the worst of everything about this is:
Water balance is still non-existent, Feudal ist Fire war and in Castle its basically Galley war, Demos are low key useless and Fires dont counter War Galleys, instead of adding a fourth ship that would beat galleys but really melt to fires they just instead took the Castle "triangle" and moved it to feudal...
The meta is non-diverse, everyone just walls non stop then either goes fc knights or just booms, booming can go unpunished as there is nothing in the middle of the map to fight for. To fix that why not add feudal petards? or something similar?
Another reason why booming is meta know is because of the eco bonuses, many eco bonuses allow ridiculous fast booming.
Cumans teambonus should be changed aswell
