The IS-3A Reborn!

In competitive games like LoL chars are not balanced based on the inability of the players, but instead of the ability to use it to its full potential, on proper gameplay, on deep understanding of the game, and server stat curves serve only as a help to do fine adjustments, where small fluctuations of winrate of less than 0.5% should be taken seriously if you actually care about the game and the players.

Not buying it. And no, the Tiger II cannot 'excel' anymore these days, other than when being the only Top Tier in a match against another Tier VIII heavy that doesn't happen to be one of the absurd new generation of heavies such as the Defender. Or the IS3A. Or the Caernarvon (unless, of course, said tank is driven by some super-inexperienced numpty).   One more thing, though - stop shooting the messenger here, guys. Being a community manager is always a tough job, especielly when you have to sell a pup. It certainly wasn't eekeeboo's decision to buff the IS3A the way it's been done.
