Are you referring to the analytics between the special units? They did show that bombshells are overpowered now. How do the analytics show that the rest of game balance does not change? Surely it changes the entire balance of combat and unit interaction.

Unpredictability is interesting, but it also lowers the skill factor.

How about other ways to make the game more strategically interesting without sacrificing skill, such as adding units/teams/terrain variables/game modes etc.
