I don't really need too its very simply some units have less upkeep or had now then you think to yourself why then the answer will come too, not then look an other unit then see it has the standed upkeep then say we need to fixed this aka standardize it. Dats not how balance works you should at each unit by themselves not judge by another, again just look at the csm upkeep nerf now you don't see 2 csm much I wonder why and again why cos you wanted to standardize not cos it balance retarded change
Rec is everything is this game it buys you power, units, reinforce and all that shit now with all this upkeep shit happen you going to make these unit which had less upkeep worse off, making there builds worse off and we won't see these units used much which is already happen and not cos balance but cos you wanted to standardize stuff well done.
If 2 CSM is not used because of current upkeep change which resulted in a nerf, the balance team is doing it wrong unless they wanted to make CSM less effective as an intended nerf. They only did Step 1 and not Step 2 as seen in my post. If upkeep standardization results in difference in effectiveness of a unit that is not intended, it is WRONG.
If Antandron's logic is to work, CSM must get buff in one or combination of stats, purchase cost, rein cost in order to result in exact same effectiveness as before the patch. Below is what happened.
- Let's say CSM used to be effective by Stats(30) + Purchase Cost(20) + Rein Cost(15) + Upkeep(20) = 85. But this patch's upkeep standardization changed it so that Upkeep is 5 which result in different result of Stats(30) + Purchase Cost(20) + Rein Cost(15) + Upkeep(5) = 70.
- If they intended to nerf CSM, it is ok but if not this should not be the end of the balance change because CSM has now become less effective by the factor of 15. Standardization MUST BE A DESIGN CHANGE ONLY. Even after the change, units should be equally effective as before if not intended for buff or nerf.
Any and all unit performance change due to standardization MUST BE COMPENSATED BY other buffs beside upkeep change to result in same or at least similar effectiveness as before. Only exception is when nerfs and buffs are intended in the first place.
