Yea I'm not disagreeing with you dude, I'm telling you what I've experienced is all. I'm sure the burning choppa is also a bit too strong right now, this is why I don't use it The OP here though is ridiculous cmon, you can't be suggesting that Orks ALWAYS win any melee encounter and that they just can't be attacked back? That's clearly a load of bull.
It's the burning ailment in general that's to strong at the moment it needs a tone down across the table. I mean the unique las cannon that puts 100% burning dot on the target is obnoxious as well. Basically everything with burning on it currently 1-2 shots targets. Abbadons grace burny choppa rites of fire unique las cannon for lsm can't think of anything else with burning I'm sure there's more though.
because i hit her with it and it didnt work, she also ignored the dbash its an attempt to show whats broken with the melee system ..... but you can chide it all you want that should have been my kill there and i shouldnt have died in .1 seconds afterwards either.
Of course, not saying I agree with him either. The problem is melee as a whole is bugged, glitched and needs work. With Eldar/Ork's being the newest of course they will be the most broken (not in OP sense but bugged)
isnt that 2 hits though ? i mean dbash is a hit .... albeit a weaker hit it still does damage ... i admit though the devs intent was to have to lose rps 2x to die in melee .... unless its a power attack from the fist or something.
I think you didn't hit the strong attack, you got interrupted by a fast attack right after the stun wore off. Might have looked different on your end because of the latency, but I guess that's what happened. Then you got gunned down by several enemies at once.
Here is my question though, if every faction has access to the "same" type of DoT weapon doesn't it essentially balance itself out? Yeah they are all different weapon types but it fills different roles, just because a weapon kills a player in 1-2 hits doesn't automatically make it "OP" or in need of nerfing. It only needs nerfing if it causes an imbalance between races, but to me and I've said this from the get go, they balance themselves out. People just complain about them because they are now dying when they've "won" melee battles and still die from DoT, which adds to the frustration, so people come on here and yell about it. However due to all the uproar and calamity DoT weapons have caused especially the RoF (even though Abaddons Grace out classes it), they will inevitably get nerfed, even if the devs disagree with it.
my first 2 trumps in RPS still got ignored outright .... and i don't think a quick attack should be able to go back in time well after ive blown their head off with a tank busting punch to undo the hit long after its landed ...... just saying.
I've played Ork a lot recently and I have to say this - Your post is 100% false and never happens. In 100% of scenarios, the feature works exactly as it should for me and for the enemy. Most of my kills come from people using the wrong counter to my attack or just trying to run away (YOU CANNOT RUN) or trying to shoot me in melee combat. Against a good player we can melee each other for quite a while doing the right counters and attacks. It only ends when one of us messes up and D-Bash a Heavy Attack etc. I'd suggest just learning how to fight in melee properly because you're obviously doing it wrong. I've experienced the exact same as my Ork experience on the space marine side.
I'm not fighting you on that, definitely not. I had melee duels that lasted like 1 minute straight because we clanged off each other repeatedly (with out anyone losing durability in the progress for whatever reason), then me hitting my oponent like 6 times in a row, getting oneshot and him still being at 100%. The system just feels totally wonky and off sometimes, sometimes it feels perfectly fine. I have no idea why.
