Depends on which meta. No-SW, Yuri is op. With SW, he may not be. This is a distinction that needs to be acknowledged whenever people are casting their 2 cents.

Gun man, whenever that happens make sure to post it on the qm reports on discord. I'll remove those error games.

Yes, I know about the map edits. Though the discussion at hand assumes that the edits haven't been enough. So, why not gather data on said settings?

I don't care about this as an option. But before applying to qm, it should be proven yuri is op on qm settings first. Those who claim he's op on qm settings need to play him this month and reach the top fairly easily.

Yes!

Sure, the bet doesn't have to apply. But the duality of Rhinos vs seals would still apply.

I'm aware. But that's why the option is available for those "leets" that enjoy the competitive aspect of the game. Among those people, almost all of them greatly dislike that type of low skill gameplay.

To truly refute the topic at hand. Your gripe is of an AvS scenario. (Seals vs rhinos) Why the hell would you go SvS to demonstrate your perception of this scenario? Go Allied, forget Yuri. Go Allied against his Soviet.

You have to be Allied or Yuri if you guys do this competition. Also, Ivan can totally be compared to seal. It has pros and cons when compared to it. It can kill multiple oils without dying to one. It can create bomb tracks. It has no calling card. It is cheaper by $400. It can more quickly target multiple buildings. It can definitely be compared.

Using statistics is always better than resorting to opinions. Opinions always lead to bias. Your very post here has bias. My mod was created with the non-sw meta in mind. (Hence why many things were changed.) The SW meta is already quite well off. So, to emphasize again, use statistics to discover if Yuri is too powerful or not. Some of the top players don't have issues. Marko and CsOH don't complain about Yuri in qm. I have my own bias, that's why I emphasize statistics. I could just complain that Iraq requires 10iq to dominate. (Which seems that way anecdotally) but anecdotes don't help us. Best bet is to keep playing qm and add more stats to go off of.

That's not true. Soviets often make radar to counter afc paras.

Soviets can ivan the enemy allied players lol

Why would his YR experience be void? Just because it doesn't fit your narrative? Because logically, that 100% would corroborate his good gameplay. Matt, if you want to debate me, at least put some thinking into your words.

It's the game though. That's nobody's fault except the designers

If giving them your name is a problem, then don't say anything and just assume engies are coming your way. That's how the game plays.
