You keep harping on this like it matters. Yes, I get it that Ork has weak AV. That doesn't affect in the slightest the fact that ork players were choosing to just foot slot it all the way to Agnathio's entrance rather than spawn tanks to destroy the CSM predators. Basically by you harping on meltas you're proving my point: Ork players make terrible decisions. I and one other person were.
I fail to see how you don't know how easy it is to destroy an ork vehicle as a melta user and how easy it is to press the redeploy button, pull a rhino/ spawn to the closest enemy vehicle and strafe around a tank while burning it for no more than 10-12 seconds. Just show us videos of your successful escapades of being a great ork vehicle driver, because i've spent too much time trying to reliably help my team doing the same. Meltas are a hard counter to ork vehicles, Orks don't have a hard counter to any other vehicle that the other factions don't already have. It seems that Orks are just the worst players in this game. But this mainly comes from people who don't play orks enough.
Orks need two things right now. A solution to anti vehicle and a sword tier melee weapon for the painboy.
As I've said to some other people before; We're not understated, we're rather on par with the other races for movement speeds vs HP/Tough/Armor. Our issue is that we're gimped on weaponry; with a lot of our melee being subpar to the other faction's and outright missing in some other cases. Case in point. Our primary weapons, axes, were nerfed recently after much complaining about Power Attack spam while Eldar, LSM, and CSM all are still able to Fast Spam with their swords which not only seem to outright not be counter-able by some of our own weapons and they 2-shot you. We do not even have Sword-tier equivalent weapons of our own to fight against them. Unless we beat them in the RPS, which half the time doesn't even work, we will ALWAYS break first. Next up on the chopping block. Plasma Cannons, one of the favored weapons of the LSM and CSM. Compared to our Kannon, which has the negative of not only charging slower and slower aiming, it cannot be reloaded while braced.
Yeah, this badly needed to happen. Melta is insanely OP and the fact that the Orks are the only faction not to get it speaks for itself.
@Redfingers Pain boys do NOT need a melee buff. The poison literally one hits people. Other orks probably do (as stated, I don't play orks).
Do you have any evidence of that nonsense claim. But then again, as you said, you don't play orks and probably didn't even base that statement on actual fact or experience.
Dude, our primary weapons are Choppas. And they are choppy enough to beat the living shit out of everyone and everything, swords included. It wasn't a nerf, it was a bugfix. Electrified Choppa spam was orky, but I've always found it cheap and cheesy. Really, lads. C'mon. Have some propa dignity, you're acting like dem humie gitz or panzies. No, it doesn't OHK. It's the same poison debuff that Apo gets. 2 strikes to get a delayed kill with Poison mod, 3 without, I believe. Well, I wouldn't say no to some exp for dok bombs.
