Eldar are not that OP, my main problem with them right now is that I feel they can resist too much damage.
Thats partially because the numbers dont seem to add up, look at a power swords damage for banshees, theres no statistical way that they can 1 shot a nurgle marked TA from the front with a power attack. But I have had it happen constantly.
Eldar have, by default of their class design, a clear early game advantage on loadouts. As the game gets older, things get unlocked and people learn how to play, their edge will diminish somewhat. I still think that Banshees, Warlocks and Hawks MIGHT be over performing just a tad. Also a lot of Warlocks still missing Embolden, that shit will only get worse as the game goes on sadly. That spell is too good.
Tell me about it, chaos was actually kinda hard to play until rank 3 and started reeling in the marks and the other goodies they need.
Seeing as Banshee's only choice is charge forward and get to the enemy or die badly, I think they are in a good position right now. Banshee's are the Eldar Ground Assault. (Scorpions are sneaky gits just ask Orks) as Jackspeticeye says "Speed is Key". A Banshee who can't close the gap is dead plain and simple.
the issue isn't a single class it's the faction as a whole when with 16 eldar you can hold all forms of defense, against CSM, LSM, and Orks i've seen a group of eldar hold the wall in siege and press our tanks buy using there fire-dragons and banshees as guards the close quarters of the buildings provided to much cover for our tanks to dodge and for our troops to miss while the turrets and heavy gunners picked of any who could. they are great faction but compared to every other faction they are over performing them and makes it hard for a random group of people to take a win if at all from the alpha maps eldar took over 50% of the whole map orks had no land left before the last reset
If that happens, it's because the enemy was not at full health. That's not a mystery or a game-breaking bug.
No, its happened to me, repeatedly, full health, MON, all health and armor trinkets, banshee does the power attack, flipping through the air, Im dead on the ground bleeding out in 1 hit. THAT is the problem. EDIT: Im also not the only one, I have friends on the LSM side that are claiming the same thing. When members of every faction are coming together saying that something doesnt match up, I think thats a fair sign something doesnt match up. Ive yet to see a banshee scream simply because heavy attacking 1 shots everything I have ever hit with it, yes I played eldar at times as well, I specifically did just to test that out.
This sometimes happens to me as well. Playing a JPA, I routinely get one-shot by Banshees/Warlocks/Striking Scorpions from the front. Occasionally a CSM Raptor or Ground Assault does it too, but it's far more rare.
That sounds like they were better coordinated and outplayed your team. Just because a faction CAN beat you doesn't mean its OP.
