Alright here we go... That video... great start, calling me ignorant and then provides a "counter argument" with that video, when the video completely misses the context of my argument. Whoopdie fucking do. So let's see... that guy had to crouch, stand still, shoot his cannon automatically and hit a target oh 30 meters away. That's close range. Your argument is equal to saying the big shoota is really accurate when hip firing and then showing a video where you shoot it in a wall right infront of your face. Please... Besides do you not see in that video that he was basically standing still aswell? He could have easily been killed by a JPA and do nothing about it (While a stalker bolter marine can) And yes. The stalker bolter has more recoil per shot. Except, you being an ignorant asshole, you keep ignoring the fact that the stalker bolter's recoil means nothing when you can't even have a chance to fire during the recoil kick. Really why is the ignorant guy here calling ME ignorant and clueless when all the proof stands against what he says?
Ah the lsm, jack of all trades master of nothing. Close range?? nope, eldar and orks Long range?? nope, orks and csm Resillience?? nope, orks and csm Buffs and debuffs?? nope, enhance, protector and hysterical frenzy say hello.
Servo skull is a debuff Adrenaline and survival vials are buffs both of which are better and longer lastings than Eldar or Chaos versions because they are single target, they are also the only faction to have a debuff on a capper.
There is one thing where LSM shine and it is sniping. But beware if your map does not favour a long range snipe fight. Eldar will dance around you. CSM with laugh and autocannon your face off. Orks will chop you up. And your team will run around like headless grots. Yep, sure LSM is super OP.
Yeah, even if that was feasible, which it is not, your geniousness, I doubt you would notice much different. SM are only good at sniping, nothing more. Perhaps if all maps were totally level sniper killing fields, your laughable opinion would be right.
Autocannons easily outsnipe stalker bolters to be honest. The only good thing about the LSMs is the apothicary with a bolter. And maybe the vengeance stormbolter but I'd argue the big shoota is stronger.
Questionable. I rarely get killed by stalker bolters. In fact I find them to be one the main reasons LSM are doing so poorly. I had games with other races, where half of the LSM team was sitting on perches trying to desperatly kill anyone, while their comrades were constantly failing to capture any points due lack of bodies in the field. I wish this thing was put in 30k boxes, not right away available to any noob for mere 6k resource points.
LSM are in dire need of the variety and capability that CSM now have. While LSM wargear was being fine tuned buffed to prevent us from making specialized loadouts, the CSM got no loss. While the Rites of Fire got nerfed to the ground, the Burny Choppa and Necrotic Chainsword remained strong. We've gotten significant nerfs on anything powerful that we have acquired. Just look at our playerbase percentage compared to win percentage, there's a huge discrepancy that NEEDS to be addressed.
