That man speaks the truth!

I originally posted it in the CC forum, but there were some troll responses that got it moved to the rants forum I'm afraid. Come fly for me as giga sometime and you will see how less than stellar they are...

SysX went Giga last week vs whoever it was we played. Giga pattys/sup/sy as I recall vs umm exp maybe? Faction is so weak if it wasn't for our fine hair we would have been crushed

Giga is only weak if you can't play it right - I am not surprised to hear Spidey say that. His recent requests for giga boosts reflect his inability to cope with certain easily avoidable pitfalls.

Overrated commanders win with stacks, and complain of weak factions when they don't do very well. There are more than a few of them.

They've been consistently at the bottom of the statistics for quite some time, the stats there are only from the previous month.

But yeah, cc team doesn't like balancing based on facts, rather idiot voob suggestions.

I remember when Bios was on the opposite side. My how times have changed

A very delicate question, the best answer is pretty much everything that Cashto has said.

Every faction is different, and plays differently. This is part of why commanding is so difficult: different factions will do well against certain other factions on a given map with given settings, but even then this isn't clear cut.

Though if you must really have an answer, Bios right now has a lot of issues, but like Cashto said a lot of this is simply subjective.
It also doesn't help that anytime you have a Bios game you know there is a good chance it will drag on into hour and a half long fight...
or a 15 minute ass whooping as a noob team gets ripped to shreds.

People generally don't like to play those kinds of games.

BoG is his own worst troll. The amount of obliviousness that is occurring in this statement is boggling my mind. Am I being trolled? Is this all a conspiracy? @#(!.

You make some good points

Bios used to need gunships to get to the middle game. Good times.
