All Melee attacks delivered by Orks are cutting through every type of attack by default on every tier of weapon. There is no consistency what so ever other than their attacks are consistency breaking every type of attack: Quick Attack: is countered by all of the following - Ork Strong Attack / Quick Attack / Dbash [it doesn't matter what attack they use / this is the case for any tier weapon] Strong Attack: is countered by all of the following - Ork Strong Attack / Quick Attack / Dbash [it doesn't matter what attack they / and this is the case for any tier weapon] Dbash: is countered by all of the following - Ork Strong Attack / Quick Attack / Dbash [it doesn't matter what attack they use / this is the case for any tier weapon] Why is this happening? When is this being fixed?
Playing mainly as an Ork this is not my experience at all. Have you played as an Ork or tested this on UAT or it is from your perspective in matches?
I haven't tested it on UAT yet, but yeah, life is just plain easier on my ork toon. In fact I'm retiring LSM until further notice for my own sanity. Watch this space - Soon to lose 50% of the games population if nothing is done.
Not had this happen, getting clanged and chopped down all the time, also Ork D-bash just seems not to work, its either too slow or doesnt hit.
I often lose melee to the exact problems youre experiencing but as an ork. To me, Most eldar melee fights are total BS and i have no idea how a fight will turn out. Most likely with me throwing my hands up claiming WTF was that?! Space marines are more consistent unless its a power sword in which case fuck all I am done. The Power sword cuts through clangs and defensive bashes and its attack lunge is longer than my stormboys evade boost.(which btw ork evade roll is shorter than enemy quick attack spam. (DO NOT EVADE ROLL AS ORKS IS GOOD ADVICE RIGHT NOW?) So right now Im using the clubba. If I land one power attack you are stunned for quite a while. To you it may seem to like youre still attacking, but that my friend is lag. Really you are stunned and I am lining up the next thwack. I just completely dont play the RPS because its borked.
It's not exactly like you say it is, Orks have weapon tier clang rules and durability working properly like other factions. It's just that their strong attack with tier 3 (axes and club) is too fast, this topic has at this point been beaten to a pulp and not worth discussing further. Be patient, new patch is due in the next 72 hrs, we as Ork players are aware of it too, hopefully so are the devs.
My strong attacks easily interrupted by quick. Clangs etc happen. Deff bash works like 70% of time. Strong - yeah kinda quick.
Kan second dat, der i seem ter be sonstantlee countereded by spacemarine addacks an its always a tug o' waa. Onlee wunce sided meley fights iz vs Panzee an i can't say fer sur since i ab yet ter scrap against dim since last patsh.
I'm playing ork and I'm not experiencing what you write here. In fact when using clubba I seem to fail to keep up with enemy fast attacks and die to basic spam unless I open the battle with a heavy attack. Additionally with a clubba my fast attacks don't stop a fist guy from charging a heavy attack and he clashes harder so fists are an automatic loss for me unless I get some amazing dodges. Warlocks seem to destroy my everything for some reason. Dunno what their blades are supposed to be but the heavier close combat weapons go out the window against them. You are either experiencing heavy lag or you are clashing chainsword vs a clubba. Find somebody to test with.
Get yourself the burny stabber thing. Its like that one/two hit quick attack Wolf priest item, but you can use it on your rocket boyz. As a LSM Jump assault, this is the one weapon I hate coming up against, because its one mistake and I'm dead.
