dude...I play an orc sometimes...you are so wrong! I get bashed by Marines, Chaos, and even Eldars. Its all a question of timing and rock/paper/scisors.
Wot in Gork's name did ya just say about me, ya little squig? I'z 'ave you know I'm da biggest Ork in me tribe, and I'z been in loadsa fights, and I'z got over 300 'eads on me pointy stikk. I'z ded gud at krumpin', and am da choppiest Ork in me entire WAAAGH! Yer noffin' to me but another squishy 'umie for stompin'. I'z smash yer face in so hard yer eyes'll see out da back of yer 'ead, an' yer better believe it. Finkz you can run yer gob off behind yer computer gubbinz? Fink again, grot. Right now I'z lookin' at me gitfinda, and it'z workin' to find where you'z hidin' at, so ya better be ready to be zogged, ya git. Zogged so 'ard dat nobody'll be able to recognize ya. You'z squigmeat, ya snotlin'. I can ride me trukk anywhere, on any planet, and I can bash ya in over seven 'undred ways, and dat'z just wiv me bare 'andz. Not only iz I da meanest and greenest wiv a choppa, but I 'ave an entire WAAAGH! at me command, and I'z gonna bluddy use it to zog you off me planet, ya grot. If only you'd used yer finky-bitz and kept yer gob shut, ya might have avoided me and me boyz for a bit longer. But ya couldn't, ya didn't, and now you'z payin' more dan just teef, ya squig. I'z gonna shoot dakka all over ya, and you'z gonna drown in bullitz. Yer zogged now.
This is an individual talking, normal Ork players acknowledge how easy it is to exploit our strong attacks! Bye
I think it is mainly latency and something with the game, melee in this game seems to be a crap shoot. I can dbash someone and they ignore it, if that happens I know that the fight is going to be totally random and I just hope I win. Right after that I will fight someone and it works fine. That is why I don't even attempt to play ranged, I have unloaded a clip into people point blank for them to turn around and kill me, really crazy stuff. Not sure what the heck is going on with the game but from what I have read and from the people I have spoken too it seems to be a happening to quite a few folks.
How do you know it? do you compare the same weapon type? In most cases it is lag, because the game dont run very good, maybe for US people but not in EU.
All i see lately from an ork melee players is spam strong attack. If thie is viable (and it is) then something is wrong wit ht he balance. Since it does not work on loyals and CSM. There are numerous reporta that something is broken besides the sheer speed of it. I mean the issue when defenders weapon breaks instantly. Fast attack counter in many occasions simply does not work against this. And let's be honest at least to ourselves - if a lot people using strong spam only, and in my expirience it is a vast majority of ork melee players there is something cheesy in it.
