It's only gotten worse since we lost just about 2/3rds of the base weapons, including melta weapons and lascannons. Though the Shuriken cannon should be more offensive oriented then the HB...... (how is it a cannon?).
Keep it Civil and it will remain open. Turn this into the toxic posts like the other one and this will be locked as well.
I hope you don't mean to imply that the posts I made were anything but civil. I went out of my way to ensure that other people weren't bringing toxic attitudes, on top of being civil myself, so I don't want to get painted up as the villain here.
Let the lag get fixed so melee doesn't teleport anywhere. People's opinions are extremely skewed because there's a massive amount of lag and people don't have any of the key items, so optimal builds are not being used. The fact that you're saying a class with 80 or 110 toughness is "as durable as Marines/Chaos" is proof enough of that.
Honestly a lot of melee can one shot players from behind. I've had Eldar do it to my Space Marine with the mid level armor I unlocked. I've had Orks do it as well. Melee itself need to be looked at, in general. There are entirely to many players that do nothing, but melee and will regularly score much higher than everyone else in the skirmishes regardless of the race they are playing. Had a match earlier against the Chaos Marines, the top 3 players were all melee at over 7k points that was on both sides of the skirmish. Then a couple of ranged and 1 vehicle player were in the 6k to high 5k range followed by more melee, and then it was scattered on the character classes after that. For most of the players it was a death sentence to even try to get into the objective to capture it, as approximately 1/2 to 2/3 of the players were melee and would cut through anyone that tried to cap the objective. My tactical never had a chance between the heavy bolters and the melee. Placing a cap on the number of a each class allowed on the field of battle at a time, may help make things a lot more enjoyable all around for the player base. It would definitely make the keep,siege more survivable. Mad a skirmish there earlier, Space Marines top player barely crossed 1200 points, the lowest Ork was close to 3k while the highest ranked Ork was all most 7k.
I didn't point a finger at anyone. I would let you know if you were the issue. Of course you guys have it in your mind that I am doing it because its an Eldar thread but just look at how bad the post that was left open got before it was locked. I don't lock posts for no reason its you guys who force them to be locked. Call it bias all you want I would lock any post like that. I am sorry but that is my job as a mod here, why don't you join the mod team and show how much better you can do it if you don't like it, but trust me you are going to be called Biased and much worse before long.
