Eldar seem to be overperforming

    Well you gotta admit, you HAVE missed almost all of your shots in the first scene of the second video. I actually adore your clip because it shows the Eldar are ultra maneuverable like they should be, can't see anything wrong with that. I mean how better to exemplify Eldar "deadliness" ingame than with scary speed and damage? Their problem is waaaay too much tanking shots when they DO get hit.

    But ok, I agree that Hawks in particular are a brainless easy-mode to play.

    Eldar in general I find to be "game on easy mode" faction after I tried them with my group of friends.

    Their mobility alone makes them hard to kill as a shot/blow missed equals damage NOT being dealt at all. At the same they all retain armor equal to LSMs and even with weakened toughness can take a chainsword in the gut.

    They also start with all they need at the beginning and even though they can't buy many different weapons including having no access to higher tier melee weapons, they don't really need it. You're only really playing for few select gear and advancements (for me, mainly getting better armor)

    You get power weapons for 2 of them automatically (Warlock and Banshee),the Scorpion can one shot you without the need for extra penetration. Eldar don't have weapons that can parry Klaws and Fists but being slow (and the klaw is currently bugged) it's very easy to dodge with the nimble Eldar. You can still parry Axes and Mauls which is what most Assaults grab when available.

    You start with your anti vehicle weapon (on par if not better than the meltas) with the Fire Dragoon who can still knife you quite a bit of damage.

    And your jetpack unit is literally the most mobile unit in the game, capable of covering nearly twice the amount of distance of the other jumpers with far better mobility making it very difficult to land clear hits with either ranged or melee weapons.

    Effectively their Pros outweigh whatever Cons they we're supposed to have.

    Of course they are fast and agile and deadly but they really need to be less tanky. Especially with game's lagging and stuttering it is nearly impossible to catch them.
