My definition is that for every action there must be a countermeasure to counter or at least the possibility of noticeably reducing the effect.

Agreed. For me, a clear example of that is alpha striking - killing, or crippling most of the opponents in the first turn before they can even go on overwatch. It’s something that only the player can do and it has a tremendous impact on balancing both ways, because it “hides” the real difficulty of many encounters. As long as alpha striking is generally possible it is very hard to evaluate the real difficulty of any mission.

Also agree: And it is precisely this fact that makes this game either terribly easy (no tactics necessary, because it always works) or frustratingly impossible.

It is obvious that this problem affects many players.

Devs @UnstableVoltage @Valygar, I know you are still working on balance. But what specific measures are planned?

• Minimal rebalancing?
• Total rebalancing?
• Rebalancing based on the level of difficulty or advanced settings?
• Everything still open?
