Interesting rts

SMNC itself isn't bad, it's a great game. The issue is, they ran it into a wall, like they did with MNC.
Across the whole closed beta period, we (testers) CONSTANTLY told them the matchmaking was crap, the learning curve was to steep (for your average player) and there was X and Y in need to be done.
Whilst balance issues usually got fixed ~2 weeks after they showed up (in a casual ISSUE-WAIT-OVERNERF-REBUFF-NERF pattern), the important issues (matchmaking, tutorials, anything) were left out.

Suddenly the game jumped to "Invitational" aka Open Beta, STILL with no matchmaking. There was a large influx of new players due to Steam advertisment (~20k) and within A SINGLE WEEK, the number returned to 5k again, new players raging at the broken teambalances ETC.
Currently, you will, in prime times, find 500 players online. Occasionally a few 100 more on a patch-day.
Combined with the still sub-par matchmaking, it takes LONG for games to find. As a result, people started to monopolize the regions, aka everyone is exclusively queuing US:E now... which results in 100-300 pings... which again literally f with SMNC's "shaky" Netcode.

It's exactly the same thing that happened to MNC as well. Crappy marketing, too many colorful-useless features and a total oversight in regards to teambalance/matchmaking.
Of course, it is possible to have fun, but I, f.e., simply can't play a game like SMNC with pings of 120+ (loosing grapple-duels all-day, getting stuck on ledges, occasionally warping around, etc). Unless I manage to organize a Custom-set-up game... SMNC isn't really playable anymore.

If you got some time, you could browse through the Uber forum. Somewhen 3-5 months ago, I've predicted quite THIS outcome, stating they would ruin SMNC if they wouldn't priorize those aspects important to new players.
