Lately, I've noticed what I'd put as a sort of 'disconnect' between what US VSH players consider to be balanced and what EU VSH players consider balanced.
Take, for example, the recent Egyptyspot map change. Even though all votes in the forum thread were in favor (+1), the response in the EU server has been largely negative, many regulars I've seen there considering the map to be worse now.
Simply put, any changes that please the US players might be changes that EU players don't really want, and vice versa.
This makes one of the two groups feel like they're not being heard or taken seriously during one of these changes.
Hence my suggestion:
EU and US VSH servers need to be kept separate from one another, in terms of gameplay/balancing tweaks. The same should go for future VSH suggestions.
