My "Master Crafted Power Dodge Button" is granting me a: +100% Fun Against Orks and CSM. -100% Frustration Against Eldars
Had a winning game last night as Orks vs Eldar. I was a bit shocked. I even managed to hit one with a power attack from my claw and then fended off three with swords long enough for my boyz to squish em. Of course all other games I spend more time dead
The only game I remember winning against the Eldar was on one of the fortress maps while they were on defense. But even then, they were defeated more by the ticket system than my team.
I leave until they put back balance. I havn't got all day to play sadly, and so i try to make the most out of my freetime. And playing eldar sadly isn't fun, but just raises frustration levels for me. And as such, as long as there are other enemys i can fight, i swap the queue
Winning or loosing against Eldar isn't any fun. It's a sequence of me either killing someone who didn't have a chance, or being killed by someone I didn't have a chance against. The outcome of each micro-engagement is fully decided before the first bullet is fired/weapon is swung. This simply is not fun. There is an element of this in fighting against LSM/CSM, but not to this un-enjoyable extreme. As an adult with a family, I have a very limited amount of free time. I'm not wasting that on something I know will not be fun.
There's Eldar in EC, i must have a mental block or something, cos i see Space Marines, Chaos Space Marine, Orks and Crutch Faction place holder. TBH the initial buzz i had for EC has fizzled out, less than a month, that has to be a record, anyway the Night Gyr is beckoning me!.
I met the reaper streaming plasma launcher thing yesterday. one reaper held a doorway against about 5 orks and slaughtered anyone who stepped through the door, and could fire fast enough to kill anyone who dodged the first salvo and tried to charge him. In the mean time I spend about 10 seconds reloading and charging up my kannon for a single shot. Game balance, it's a thing, just not here.
If I see I got queued against Eldar I leave. No matter with who I am, I do not stay. Most people I know do the same and there is even people sharing the idea of boycotting the eldar in chat.
