Getting tired of seeing Blesks and Squalls (and Lynxes when the first two inevitably die in 10 seconds) vs ELCs

If you play only daytime, chances are, you have no idea how bad it could be and what you're whining about.

2-6AM EU games look like this:

• Every other player is 55%+ WR 50k+ battle player
• Know the great and totally unpredictable unicum strat of returning to base to snipe and salvage your DPG once you perceive your team as getting wiped out? 30%+ of players do it, sometimes you will have 5 players in one exact parasitic spot, and turns out this strat is much less viable when everyone does it
• Generally passive, baiting-focused gameplay
• At least 10 times more matches end in draws than during the day

Funnily enough, in last stream I saw Baby mentioning about how in China people are playing extremely passively, akin to EU-nighttime, and he can't farm as much DPG.

The best way to play Equalize is to pick Tier 8/9/10 with good HE and then hope that some unfortunate souls decided to experiment with playing the unviable lower tiers. But these days that's rare, 80% of players in my matches are playing high tier tanks. Meta is already here.

It was exactly the same last Equalize. We saw it coming. So why not buff lower tiers more? Why not have interesting experimentation like give lower tiers laser accuracy but keep the low alpha? Why each Equalize run, not experiment with different stat adjustments, given that it's never going to be a balanced mode anyways?

The idea of this mode is great, it just needs to be slightly different each time it comes out so people can't just use last year's meta and know what tanks they're going to play before it even starts.
