Based on the performance of Orks the times I've played lately, I'm ready to throw in the towel and go with lolspacemarines.

Its hard because about 80% of our games we don't start with even players, so half our team is only in the match for like 30% of the actual game, tanking xp contributions and making people look worse than they actually are.

This is also exacerbated by that all our "OP" stuff doesn't come standard. So newbies are restricted to Shoota (fine), Choppa Blade(ehh), and god forbid the dakka deffgun(worst gun for lootas).

Orks are basically choosing Hard Difficulty, Chaos and LSM are Easy, and Eldar are Medium.

I'd be fine dealing with really cheap deaths to BS guns if the playing field was even. But half the time we either start out outnumbered (as you mentioned), or we may as well be playing with half a team because people just want to do their own thing or not play with the team.

Best example I can think of is one game I was in last night. Half the team was defending C, even though the enemy had already got time off it. When the LSM realized this they muscled both A and B easily and got extra time off them. A few people mentioned we needed to prevent this, no one listened. I just gave up and focused on pulling my hair out until we lost.

It's people like you that make me wish the forum had a dislike button. I see your posts and I seriously wish I could puke the bullshit away. I'm not even gonna argue with you because I've seen a lot of your posts and there is no arguing with you. You see it as you want to see it and that's fine because it's your right as a human being but man, good job on doing so.
