Not a surprise considering one of their dev's told people to burn in hell. Might as well as just take that as their professional level of developer prowess.

Don't ask. It was a bad pun on a player who's name included Devil.

Yes I did, and yes I can.

WS's roadkilling meant they had to be very near enemies to come kill them with 1 person piloting them. With 2 they can lay down about as much firepower as roughly something between a HB and an Autocannon, respectable, but by no means withering. It is indeed difficult to hit any moving target with Meltabombs. But Krak grenades work just fine against WS and WS are light tanks. Everyone on every other faction can carry these grenades, and it's much easier to stick them to WSs even though the majority of players don't, they try meltaing them, not realizing that Krak grenades are actually the better option here because of asymetrical balance. I don't feel sorry for people arguing about trying to Meltabomb moving WSs. The thing freaking flys and goes supersonic speeds out of combat.

It's not really supposed to get melta'ed.

And yet that meta has drastically changed as of yesterday.

Truly, because now WSs and Falcons literally cannot be left unmoving - which means they MUST NOT be unmanned, nor can they move close to the point without being Graved.

Which therefore pushes Eldar vehicles away from the point, back to a distance comparable to that of a Predator. And thus, the Predator shines anew as a great area of denial tool. It's not as maneuverable as an Eldar tank and is vulnerable in ways they are not and vs versa, but it's not easy to stick a meltabomb on either one when manned, and it's damn near impossible if the Predator is moving and firing at the same time. MYST can slay an entire team of FDs while manning a single predator long before they come into even firepike range (if they had them). We had a game on Pegasus, arguably the worst mal for tanks, and even our driver had nearly 20 kills in the Pred against Eldar - 8 of which dedicated the majority of the game to come hunt us down. The thing is a beast. I can't imagine why SMs wouldn't be able to do the same.

On top of it, the Pred doesn't need to be in the area it wants to deny, it merely has to watch out for long distance AV- which the rest of the team should be able to deal with just fine because they're mostly assaults anyway. Thus, asymmetrical balance.

No, one faction having tools to negate one of the advantages of Eldar vehicles does not suddenly change the entire meta, and certainly not "drastically".

I don't know why I keep trying to argue with EIDF posters. There's a probably a parallel to still playing this game, something to do with masochism.

He didn't "bend" the facts. Check the link I posted in reply to your question. He literally said "may you burn in hell".

I don't think it was malicious.

Poor taste? Yes. But innocent.

It kinda does shift the meta. Grav guns can reliably 1v1 Eldar.

@Whitefox550 you know your numbers. Does toughness affect ailments?
