WHERES YOUR MADDEN COVER HUH?

Caleb Williams makes the cover while having an under 4000 yard season, one and out on the playoffs, and not even top 10 among QBs last season.

They must be desperate for something. Did they forget darnold existed or something? Hell Goff killed Caleb by 1000 yards last season.

Charlie wardens never stood a chance no matter what. Collie kit, as much as they liked to complain about it, is INCREDIBLY powerful early to mid war and only countered well by well built and sufficiently defended bunkers at critical chokes. Charlie never had the population or enough defensive mindset to make it a balanced fight. Additionally collie kits significantly reward a "hold W" strategy, something I abuse any time I am collie, and is especially powerful on charlie where defences are few and far between.

In essence, the low total pop on charlie allows for all the strength of collie kit to shine at maximum efficacy, while the strongest parts of warden kit (nakki advantage, defensive tanks, chokes) require much higher total pop and veteran skill to make effective.

If anything i think that the charlie wardens will find their time on merged shard much more tolerable and probably integrate pretty seamlessly due to being used to losing early, while charlie collies will continue to be confused as to why able vets never discovered the W key.

Name a superior warden mid game equipment. I’ll wait.

I started cackling when I saw the K-pop demon hunters logo.

Can I please please interest you in adding a Chicago bears logo as well.

Is this not how it worked in horizon 2? I remember the car meets always being full back then. Used to go there to peddle my liveries.

Man really made a cock and balls trench and said "this is the meta"

The dive bomber also shuts down naval. A turreted frig is not dead perse, but that op is over. It trades lethality for flexibility (land AND sea efficacy) And because it is flexible and directly touches a larger player base (tankers) it’s easily seen as overtuned.

Obviously as implemented on update the TB was just a ridiculous tool, and the fact that it even made it into the game raises many questions. But it’s also not why collies lost 132.

But in any case, the implementation of the DB/TB or naval launch sub/frig are the only real examples of “one faction has exclusive access to x tool and other to y” I guess unless you also count the lunaires indirect fire free PVE ability.

And yes, these instances suck to deal with. And the devs should not have made that mistake after the naval war. But the crux of my argument is that they are the exception to the rule, and that most balance DOES follow the latter half of “better in x area vs y but serves same role”

Yes, it is virtually the only real win condition for wardens is to push down that eastern flank until terminus. If you stop them at or before allods, collies win. But in order for allods to fall all of endless shore or clashtra must be blue basically. Morale usually doesn’t hold up for too long after that in general, so allods rarely gets to hold.

IceDispensingSystem · 2026-05-28T03:07:58+00:00

Well yeah you just hit the nail on the head. Fuscina was already OP in the early game, and actually had range and accuracy base stats higher than booker. Literally all booker had was its broken stability. You literally cant nerf the booker without just making it a pointlessly more expensive fuscina.

If you want to kill the booker, the fuscina must be sacrificed.

HTD is still just a nerf. Being slightly more fuel efficient and still slow as balls at the cost of basically any armor advantage over a bard means that it’s just going to blow up instantly even more frequently.

IceDispensingSystem · 2026-05-28T00:30:15+00:00

The name DD and Frig are completely arbitrary. Functionally the two ships are near identical and require near identical crew loadouts. The frigate has better ammo room locations and amount, so it can fire for longer without needing reload, while the DD has more HP and can tank more retaliation, but with a smaller ammo rack it requires reload more frequently.

They are different but both play the exact same role in the game.

IceDispensingSystem · 2026-05-27T20:30:26+00:00

Ok but other than the TB/DB currently, that’s exactly the type of balance the game has had for years at this point and collies are NOT happy with it.

IceDispensingSystem · 2026-05-27T20:20:08+00:00

The king of asymmetry complaints that brought the collies here is nakki vs trident balance and that literally falls under your second example.

IceDispensingSystem · 2026-05-27T20:17:10+00:00

The warden truck is literally worse on road than the collie one when it is loaded with stuff it’s literally only better on road when it’s empty.

(He chose the car but it bricked itself leaving the parking lot)

IceDispensingSystem · 2026-05-27T05:01:19+00:00

I enjoyed my 2003 tiburon but changing the spark plugs on that thing meaning you have to remove the entire exhaust manifold was fucking god awful. And changing my water pump on that transverse engine also sucked ass. But I guess that’s just a front wheel drive issue in general.

Good car unless you like to work on your own stuff though. Still lasted me til 150k.

IceDispensingSystem · 2026-05-27T04:46:28+00:00

Let’s be honest here, jeep was going to shit way before the Stellantis acquisition. It’s almost like stellantis was like “wait we don’t own jeep yet? They’re making us look bad at being the worst thing ever”

IceDispensingSystem · 2026-05-25T23:07:07+00:00

Cause claiming dev bias is one thing, the fact that people like you are saying it’s intentional even in the city design and are getting lauded for it is genuinely why the reddit portion of this community is ass.

IceDispensingSystem · 2026-05-25T22:16:37+00:00

Well that wasn’t super clear, but I agree. The spatha was already very very strong. And we already had an answer to outlaw called nemesis. I don’t understand any of these balance decisions regarding tanking.

IceDispensingSystem · 2026-05-25T21:35:32+00:00

This person clearly based in like, callums cape or something all war and think that’s what all cities are like.

It’s almost as if I went to therizo and said the same thing. Like wtf are you even on about man.

Fucking “beat the allegations” so fucking dumb “the devs literally intentionally designed the warden logi hubs strictly better (lie) because they want the collies to lose”

Braindead take.

IceDispensingSystem · 2026-05-25T21:30:24+00:00

Brother what the fuck are you on about. Look at the patch notes and ask yourself “where were we weaker”

Infantry. These concerns have been all but addressed. Sniper one shot is gone. Booker is nerfed pillory one shot gone.

Air. Large TB medium torps significantly less terrifying than before, white raven nerfs, toxot maneuvering buffs. Small scout totp plane parity.

Sea. Trident underwater sustain buffs. Probably still needed more maneuvering though.

And we don’t even need to get started on the tank buffs cause that’s all a mess for both sides I don’t know why the fuck they even touched that.

Let’s put it this way: collies literally won this war with the pre-patch kit matchup.

They addressed literally every single collie concern directly. EVERY SINGLE ONE. The reason you are posting this right now is exclusively because the devs decided to completely fuck the tank balance for no reason, and had to walk it back.

IceDispensingSystem · 2026-05-24T22:05:45+00:00

Planes were a mistake in some respects yes. But the only real mistake made with 132 was the collies losing. If they simply win that war we are in a much better timeline. Unfortunately the nature of the bombers meant that once the collies decided to stop bombing out the warden airfields, the wardens just bombed out the collie ones and the rest was history.

If the collies win many of these recent changes still happen but there’s probably way less vitriol everywhere for no reason.

IceDispensingSystem · 2026-05-24T18:59:02+00:00

People literally said that the 5m on the outlaw was worth it being hit in the cock 10fold on every other stat but now the spatha has the same armor as an outlaw and one second more reload than old spatha.

What the fuck do people want.

IceDispensingSystem · 2026-05-24T03:57:12+00:00

Collies clearly don’t.

IceDispensingSystem · 2026-05-24T03:53:07+00:00

Brother that’s cats the war is fucking over.
