Marines - Aliens, who's the best? [Marines] - Undisclosed Gameplay of Annoyance

I'm not sure why, but quite recently (after the update) I've noticed a huge drop in Alien play.
I mean, the game is being biased against the Alien team, I've noticed that because of the major updates the Marines have now gained somewhat ability to push the Alien hive using little but their man power.

Now, it didn't take a good commander to defeat the Alien team; majority of players weren't that well equipped, but still took their major poll on defeating us.
I've been playing Natural Selection 2 for quite a while now, with over 738hours of gameplay (according to steam) - that's a lot if you ask me, as a genuinely hardcore strategy and action gamer I find Natural Selection rather fun.
But my fun has been ripped from me, with the manifest of Marine superiority in the game; why decrease Skulks run speed; is it because Gorges are apparently a bit more stronger?
That's beyond question.

Now, I've been in several games, most of which we've lost with a little if anything ratio of winning; my kills decent enough but not hitting its mainstream of what I used to obtain.
During a match I'm now averaging at: 23:19, before I'd be hitting around about the mid 30's and possibly 40's with a low death kill (basically because of my huge harassing skills as Lerk).
Even with that Kill:Death I'm still unable to win a game, with a good commander we might JUST push in a little bit but if anything.

Marines have become, in my eyes, a lot stronger and more then capable to win the game if they have middle-class or high-class gamers; it is hard!


Can we get an update to hopefully balance this off, maybe give Skulks their ability of being able to average a fast running speed; whilst wall jumping; Marines can almost catch up to me now!

    Let's see what the stats are saying in a week or so. More if we want to be sure that people have adapted to the gameplay changes.

    There will be a lot of new players due to the game going on sale and the huge update, and most will tend to gravitate to Marines as their gameplay is more "familiar".

    Plus youll have people wanting to use the railgun exo, etc. You wont really be able to tell which team is more popular until a few weeks go by.
