The issue is LSM are in a really terrible place, and it makes it seem like every other race is incredibly over powered in comparison. Not only do the LSM lack any sort of identity, and the absolute worst capturing class (p.s. capturing WINS games), they have the highest influx of new players who don't understand the game and mostly seem to refuse to listen. Inadequate stats/weapons and specializations (GA stands as also the worst melee specialized unit considering it can not capture which again WINS games), etc etc. So no, the Orks are not OP, yes they have issues they need addressing, bugs glitches such as the Eldar but they are in a good place. Pretty much all the factions are in a very good spot, it's only the LSM that needs to catch up. It's not so much nerf every other race, but buff LSM to be on the same level as the rest. I will note that something does need to happen to compensate for the mobility, speed, and thin models of the Eldar to balance that out. Nothing drastic just slight adjustments. A main factor as to why they are dominating the world map right now. http://forum.eternalcrusade.com/threads/ork-melee-discussion.58405/ This post I made about Ork Melee might help you also.
I leave against Eldars, now i need to leave against Orks ... With lag and bugs it's unplayable. Sometimes Orks can't die. And with 1 shot they can kill me, seriously ?
Actually orks are the worst melee faction. Worst animations, worst mobility, worst JPA, and a load of other things that make them the worst melee faction. Plus you guys field just as much melee if not more than some other factions and you have the plasma cannon which is the most powerful anti infantry option in the game. Chaos has so much stuff that they are pretty evenly distributed with their loadouts while all I see on DM are PC devastators, power sword/fist JPA and shields, maybe a couple apothocaries and then like one or two tacticals. Once you guys actually cap a point it is hell trying to get it back right now. You guys have far too many one shot weapons for me to belive that the LSM faction is that bad off. Now that time has gone by and everyone has more than the basic gear you guys actually win a lot of matches.
Lol about melee balance. I ques you were never hitted by flaming mace of OPnes. One quick attack and your regular ork just melt.
Yeah supper annoying. Its better that power fists and all. Saw dude hitting 60 frags. Nice support I guess. I mean there is poison sword on eldars. But at least you can be resurrected.
Translation: I liked a few days ago before the patch. When orks melee was broken and did not work, and I could backpedal and shoot them all day. Now that it works I think we should make it not work again.
There are some quite wonky bits with Ork melee. Where the orks spam powerattacks and you can't interrupt them with fast attacks (even if you both spam those attacks at the same time) And the Stun from an electified choppa is ridicilus. But other than that, i think batteling orks is quite fun at the moment (I play CSM at the moment, so i can only speak for CSM vs Orks of course). It's quite an even battle I wouldn't say the Orks are the new eldar, because Eldar are still just rage inducing to fight
