I've played against the elementals twice now, and both times have ended in crushing defeat for me. The second time I pointed out to my opponent that they're op, and his response was, and I quote, " F*** YEAH THEY ARE!". This is entirely unfair to me, because I refuse to spend money on this game because I don't have money to spend. Especially when the in-game FAQ says that the game is supposed to be balanced for people who don't spend money. I love the game, and I play it pretty often, but this is just bothersome. Please, if anything can be done that would be great. Thank you,

elemental is considered to be the weakest empire lol

Elemental beats Order so very easily. Seriously, I dont even play ele and I can beat players like DAZ and Wyz just by tree/V spamming. It just has bad anti-air, but against Order thats hardly a problem.

not for my situation lol I find it beating elemental so easy with any empire -_-

elemental only stand a bit chance in short maps, but in med maps it is auto lose if order/chaos players know what they are doing

Yeah... This post is pretty dumb, mainly because you said you played against Ele twice. Playing Ele two times isn't enough to determine it's Op and certainly isn't enough to develop strategy to beat them. It's not the empire it's the player.

So blaming an empire rather than your own lack of skill. That's how to continue to lose. Improve your vC and vE (and I'd say Chaos > Ele as an empire), I know that's hard to do off purely rank.

But more generally, if you're struggling, you probably just need to improve your macro.

You clearly don't know how to play against Elementals and think that means Elementals is op when you lose. You can't except Order vs Order strategy to work on an empire that deals almost no upfront damage and has loads of tanks to compensate.

You've played them twice, lol, you need to play them more, look around (find gud build orders), and then macro properly.

Then you won't feel like its OP asf.

Archer kiting is important to fight against elemental
I think most of the lower skilled players including the person here don't know how to and have difficulties in dealing with E

it is quite impossible to win if you don't kite in OvE lel
just saying
