This is clearly not intended, as it completely wrecks the faction balance. Eldar are supposed to be inaccurate when moving, but guess what? We got one of these banners too! Chaos are supposed to be worse than Loyalists at medium range, but guess what? They got one of these banners too! It also completely removes the Orkz faction specific reduction to the "movement spread modifier", which was supposed to make Orkz have less penalty to accuracy when moving around (they don't really have any accuracy anyhow). Lastly, it will only encourage the dreaded "ADADADADADAD" tactic Anyhow, it seems like the bonus was supposed to be 5% instead, which is just plain useless. Like the Eldar's "Banner of Last Hope", which gives the same effect as a 20 LP Trinket
I thjink this is a bug..,. it was probably to be reduced to 5% ... but instead they reduced the spread to 5%.... its litteraly a simple mistake of using division instead of multiplication or just faild wording... because 95%.... thats way to good of a buff.
If it really was supposed to get reduced to 5%. Then the Icon/Banner/Stuff is basically trash overall now. Wonderful!
Just finished a few matches as squad leader, all I can say is that its a real game changer. A group of 3-5 marines are able to hold their ground on a point now rather than holding down the 'S' key to get away from everything with a sword/axe. Me and another tactical were able to gun down a Storm Boy with some ease rather than the two of us mashing the space-bar to dodge and hope one of us manages to land a hit. I would like to bring this picture up again so that you get the idea where im coming from when its pretty much luck when an assault class lands in-front of a group of tacticals, our guns are completely useless including the fact that when you defensive-bash an enemy the animation doesn't reset quick enough to even fire your gun. picture this but with only 1 or 2 tacticals and the tyrannid is an assault class and its an actual moving target. This new standard/banner makes an assault class player actually wait for an opportunity and think when to attack, an actual risk for reward rather than seeing them hop skip and a jump into crowds of bullets without care.
Bolter Accuracy should be buffed and that banner needs a nerff. I'd say bolter needs to be around 25% more accurate and the banner needs to only improve accuracy by around 25% too.
Looks a lot like a bug. Storm bolter with that banner seems like a lot of fun, as long as it lasts. Edit: if at 10 meters you can't reliably get headshots with a standard bolter without that banner, then it's not the assault player fault for slaughtering the 2 of you.
It doesnt seem to do much in terms of accuracy. Dont worry. Probably just a 5% increase or decrease in cone.
I'm gonna go way off the deep end here and say that it's deeply satisfying to see the weapons be that accurate, standard or not. Why the fuck do the all of the weapons in this game need to have innately horrible recoil and moving accuracy?
stop being dumb you guys. It's a bug, they meant to nerf it to 5% while they were nerfing all of the other banners into uselessness. I think this was an utterly terrible idea, banners were kind of weak before, now they're worthless And this is not unique, every faction has the exact same set of banners, and every faction's accuracy banner has this bug. Enjoy it while it lasts. It won't for very long
