Now that MO 3.3 is out for a while and everyone had time to play with it (hopefully), I think it's time to raise the question: which faction is the least competitive in the new update? You are encouraged to vote, post your reasons, and discuss the topic.

[X1Destroy]

It's been just about more than 2 weeks. Competitive play isn't really possible when most of us are still learning about the changes of our old factions and the 3 new ones.

Gotta go scorpion cell, sorry, but the hijacker is your only hope against T3 tanks.

Pacific Front, that is. Few people prefer Pacific and that's the least subfaction I played. Cryo weapons do make ice cream.

[XoGamer]

Easy - Euro Alliance, nobody plays them.

 

Also who voted China, the beasts?

[Admiral_Pit]

I rarely see Psi Corps players if anything.  Most probably moved to the other Eppy subs due to HQ and its hero buffs and Scorpion Cell's new subterranean Tyrants, while Libra felt like she got a few nerfs too (well, at least I think her range got nerfed).  I will hold my vote though til the end of the month to be safe, but for now, my vote would've been PC.

To those who voted China, I ask, why? 

[CLAlstar]

I'd like to ask the same for people who voted SC.

[lovalmidas]

I'd like to ask the same for the one person who voted Last Bastion

I'd like to ask the same for the one person who voted Last Bastion   

That would be me before trying them out. BRB deleting my vote

[Martinoz]

I'd ask the same for those who think that meta can be described after less than a month 0_0

[yunru the gundealer]

is "i'd like to ask the same for blank" gonna be a new running gag here?

[lovalmidas]

I'd like to ask the same.   

[Handepsilon]

I'd like to ask the... oh wait

 

I like China because they're strong firepower wise

Who chose china and why? I can't see the reason.. I can't comprehend this decision made by 5 specific people.

[Handepsilon]

Nuwa? Prob Armadillo too

[Admiral_Pit]

Why does China have 5 votes?  They're still very powerful, and even got some new tricks up their sleeves.  Sure the Nuwa got nerfs as well as no more "Speed Boost near Nuke Reactors", but the Centy and Yunru both got buffs in a way (like the Centy able to attack air targets now, and Yunru now only takes 1 transport slot), Armadillos are definitely powerful, and maybe when they learn how to Wallbuster and Irradiation, they may find that China isn't as bad as they think.  I know I really love those two abilities as of late.

 

Still, my current vote that I'm holding onto is between Psi Corps and now EA, being two of the most uncommon ones I've seen.

[XoGamer]

I don't see Russia very often in competitive?

They are pretty uncommon.

Cue Mental Gymnastics

 

Yunru able to attack air targets now, and the Centy now only takes 1 transport slot

 

Will greatly increase competitiveness through the roof.

For PsiCorps; I don't really see Psicorps having any way to win against a Foehn without salamanders.
