Is it just me? I don't play Orks. but I don't think I lost a match to the Orks all weekend (except Maggon and Zadek). Anyone had a similar experience? The other 3 factions have seemed pretty balanced. Seem to be ripping the Orks excessively at the moment though...
Nah ive won and lost against all factions. You must be getting a good team (nigh impossible), a pre-made helping your games (more likely) or getting really bad ork players ( also likely). The only thing sorta bad about the orks is their melee animations as far as i can tell.
Yes as an Ork player who was consistently winning around 50-60% matches before the latest patch I now lose probably 70-80% of the matches I've played since the latest patch. You are correct, Orks are currently under-powered. Bad Ork players? Care to explain?
Or like the eldar they could have a new influx on new players/boat jumpers. It's guard to tell with just win/lost
We have very bad equivalents for the overwhelming melta and no equivalent for the prevalent powerswords. Imagine what it would be like for every GA powersword you see to switch to chainswords, then you have the average ork slugga.
Its funny how they went from the best to possibly the worse by getting their health cut a bit. I definitely feel there are worse off from the last patch but hopefully the devs are keeping an eye on it and if they are doing bad give them a buff or more wargear. A melta equivalent would be good so Orks can use other weapons than the klaw. I would also make the WAAAAGH mechanic a little better so it actually has an effect during the match so once the Orks get enough WAAAAGH points by killing and claiming points they get a WAAARG the way it works atm is pretty lackluster.
Unlikely, if anything Ork players are leaving to play other factions at present because we are so weak. Here's some things we're missing that every other faction has in spades in any game; Meltas Plasma, of all varieties Swords With each of these we have no counter, no other option and therefore we are getting spanked by other races. The games we do win, I feel are more because the enemy didn't bother to play to the objectives and instead just killed us, repeatedly. It's not fun to play Ork at the minute.
It should also be noted that in actual melee, where the orks should be at their strongest, their toughness is basically meaningless as the 135 they can 'efficiently' get is completely negated by the 140 penetration of the powerweapons that EVERYONE BUT THEM has.
