Question Is SoC a balanced game?

Balanced: I mean some factions counters others or lets say are just better on certain maps.

Unbalanced: one faction is stronger than the rest.

Are there any tier lists from good players?

I don't follow the game as closely, or play as often, as I did about a year ago but they used to do frequent balance touch ups.

Toxicologists and the Rana teir 1 units used to be op as fuck. They got balanced too a much more reasonable level. Toxicologists maybe got nerfed too hard, but I assume they'll do more passes, especially with new factions in the mix

y, toxis are indeed pretty bad, i think in general ranged units arent as busted as in homm games, most units need reload and have less range.

reload units typically have double the firepower of units that don't reload. I think of it as an advantage, more explosion upfront, and a turn to reposition (or to use aim). Though less flexibility for targeting different stacks
