Are LSM really that bad?

  1. Well I can't, I'm at work.

    It could be the maps change faster than we think we do because color wise(the bar is just for that highlighted territory in question) the LSM/CSM was fairly even in size with CSM having only 1-2 more territories than LSM.

    I distinctly recall Orks having a MUCH larger Green portion on the LSM map than CSM or Eldar had against their LSM maps, and Orks are losing to those two factions.

    It's odd.
  2. I don't know man, i still feel like Eldar are stronger than CSM, they're beating us and da boyz by a larger margin than CSM and i'd say Eldar and CSM are still pretty balanced between themselves, they still have the same ammount of territories and the meter is almost in the middle in the contested area.

    The reason i believe we hold ourselves a little better against CSM though is familiarity and we're not holding as well as you think, we actually have lost more territories to them than any other race have.

    Edit, my mistake, Eldar actually have 1 more territory, so they're beating CSM.

    Edit 2, and we actually are holding better against the Orks than against CSM.

    I've found it's not even good for that

    Played a few matches last night. Tried to be a Tactical and use my Bolter. I think I'd do damage throwing the shells myself than I did with my Bolter point-blank.

    Okay so as a main LSM player i can say first hand that the faction itself does need some love. But we can still compete with the other factions just fine if we would stay coordinated. LSM attract the new players because of how known they are as a faction when you think 40k LSM pops into mind first. I agree our range needs some help but other than that the faction as a whole can function pretty well against the others we just need to stay organized.

    Exactly. That was my point. Eldar as a faction is waaay to good.

  10. Yep. It's not simply that Bolters need large buffs. The poor game/server performance penalizes Bolters the most. Since it's a low RPM gun, you must connect all your shots. Higher RPM guns are more forgiving. Mix in jumpy players with Eldar speed and it gets even worse.

    We need better game performance and some kind of slight buff to Bolters.
