Guys, why rage over plasma cannon? all faction has a 1 hit weapon which requires charge up and proper setup.. that is fair Auto cannon on the other hands, very small charge up and blam! dead everything.. have you got into a match where there were 3 guys on auto cannon on the roof top and was blasting away at anyone trying to get to that point? the moment you put your hands out, 2 shots and you're dead! 2 freaking bullet hits is all it takes.. JPA lands in, Havoc gets stun, then he dbash you and blam blam, you are dead... you run over a corner, havoc sees you and you sees him, blam blam you are dead!.. give all factions this kind of gun, then it'll be fair Poisons, they ignore armor and it hits like a trukk!.. there were some green mist on the floor, and I just ran pass it and soon after I am dead!.. another poor soul ran pass it and he too is dead!.. but when an ork runs pass it, he is still alive!! give all factions this kind of weapon then it'll be fair Eldar vehicles needs to be nerfed. decrease its acceleration. reduce its armor. Make the CSM and LSM vehicles with higher tougher armor. and make the Rhinos' weapon stronger give it capability to hurt other vehicles... why the guns in trukk are able to hurt vehicles? who in their right mind would come out with such unbalance concept? Sorcerors and Warlocks shouldnt have that auto lock on for casting. they should have to maintain LoS at the aim cursor to continue to heal/damage. If the cursor isnt at the intended target, then the whole spell stops. The current situation is, I aim at you, I press my LMB and i know you can run but you will get my poison in you and i know you are going to die either way. The heals should also maintain target at cursor to heal.. not auto lock on. Eldar swooping hawk.. Wow... I could fly forever on this guy and nobody can ever ever catch me.. What we want is a fair fight.. so far there aint any.. its the basic of being fair that i just dont get it, why cant the developer team understand fairness... YOu give an apple to team 1, you should also give an apple to all the team. You give an orange to team 2, you should give an orange to all the teams... What i see in EC is that, they love the chaos marines, so they gives them an "auto freaking cannon" oh while you are at it, here! you get an auto lock spell, a big one hit flying EYE, a 1 hit go to hell poison chainsword.. They love the orks, here take the super Poison grenades and painboy, here have this super black widow poison and here have this blazing sword and here faster Klaw attack!!! better guns than the LSM and CSM because your guns are made from scrap and wil lget better accuracy, higher RoF and better DPS on target..oh, dont forget, you can be a bullet sponge now and your bullets can have poison effects!!!. Oh and they love the eldars, here, you can have the uncatchable vehicles where you can run peeps over easily! you can have uncatchable swooping hawk who can virtually fly forever. Oh and super faster animation to kill all melee.. ahh you can have the high RoF weapons for high sustained dps, with low weapon spread! and small hit box so you can run so fast it is not easy to hit Now, the space marines, damn! you are favored by the populations.. you will be the hero theme for the game. you will get crap..... you dont get poison weapons, you dont get auto lock on heals, you dont get 2 shot weapons, you dont get speedy vehicles, you dont get flaming weapons, oh wait, i got the grav gun for you.. which doesnt damage much on players but slows them down!! if you can hit it... this will make space marines super powerful and OP because they will always hope to get good team play in a PUG. and when you use Grav gun on an enemy, you will have to wait for your team mates to shoot it to kill it for you!! while the poor soul you are using your grav gun on is being slowed down... his team mates will slap you full of lead so you can kiss the ground and curse at the developers again for designing such super useful weapon!
It is because it makes all equivalents on other factions look like shit. Kannon Deffgun: Longer charge up time, no snapshot (grenades that fly 20 miles). Reaper Launcher: Longer charge up time, no snapshot, unable to arc shots. Tempest Launcher: Inferior range and requires you to hit at least 2 bursts to kill a target. The Plasma Cannon is just too good.
Yes, it is fair to YOU and no one else, so it is all right. FOR YOU. As it stands, Plasma Cannon spam makes the game less than fun for many players. There is NO counter for it. There is NO way to beat it when used in large groups. Not even vehicles can stand up to massed plasma overcharge span. So of course its fine and perfectly fair as long as it is you doing it. /thread
Well now as of last patch (27.10.2016) Eldar can avoid charge attack while d-bashing. Real nice melee. No matter what you do Eldar still faster. Eldar fast attack - SM d-bash - Eldar strafe out charge heavy attack - SM owned Eldar heavy attack - SM do fast attack - Eldar do d-bash or usually Heavy lands faster than SM fast attack - SM owned Eldar d-bash - SM charge heavy attack with sword?! - Eldar strafe out and shoot or fast attack - SM owned SM owned by skilled Eldar player again, because it's more skill in Eldar. Not their super fast animation and bugged RPS melee shi... system.
As Eldar I am constantly getting stunned mid power attack by a space marine's Dbash. Melee is wonky for everyone.
I played eldar before release and you very much could, I hated the guiding feature they added in which killed my interest in it though.
Well it's ok when you lose or win cause of the RPS or lags. But when you constantly lose due to "Warlock sword and speed>SM power sword" or "AC one shot" or "Necro chain Sword>Power Sword"? I've got that feeling since launch and I can't let it go. Especially when in obviously winning moments you die, cause of those things you've mentioned.
