Like the title says. If an ork rolls, dbash, or pretty much do anything other than spam clang we take a free hit while our animations catch up. What I mean is this. If youre being RMB spammed and roll out of the way you will take 1 melee as you start your roll and inevitably 1 more free one while youre getting up. Same thing for dbash, if you go from spamming RMB with your opponent and clanging and attempt to block them they get 1 free hit while your character changes animations. This is not the case for other factions as our roll is too short and the invuln frames -are too few or nonexistent. If a tactical rolls away from me not only are our quick attacks shorter than their rolls(which is reversed for orks!) they can always recover fast enough to clang or block my followup attack. Orks just get a shittier version of almost everything. oh but we get 50 extra health. At this point in time it is a good idea to NOT EVER roll in combat as orks because its basically standing still and eating 2 hits for no reason. I assume this isnt the purpose of DODGE/EVADE I could go on for days about how clunky it is to play orks. Played LSM and eldar to try them out and everything is much smoother its makes me hate going back to orks. It is really the one thing that bothers me the most. Orks are clunky as fuck.
I always thought this is what happened with all the races, but it makes sense, can only hope it's fixed while everyone is crying about electro choppa
Just adding to this, I seem to get stun locked by sword swingers, as in I'm unable to attack back because they're swinging repeatedly and I'm unable to perform any action
Yeah, noticed this too. Ork rolls is more to change position quickly (useful as a shootaboy at least) than to do a 'dodge' move in response to an enemy melee attack. Makes melee a bit more difficult, but at least it feels rather in keeping with the background. Orks don't dodge, they just 'eadbutt people instead!
That weird short freeze after pretty much everything Ork does is pretty annoying when you are in a middle of melee. It's not an issue most of the times, but when you lose a close call because of it it pisses you off really bad.
Getting really tired of these special snowflake melee threads. Where is the playtesting to support this is a unique bug experienced by orks and no other races?
Ork melee is otherwise very good so this is not a huge issue right now and there are many more important things to solve first. But it is still an issue and I don't see the harm talking about it or wanting it to be fixed. If it offends you I'm sorry to hear that but it's still silly to come bitching about it on this thread. If you don't like threads like this skip them, this is pretty common game forum talk after all. Well... Here on this thread for example..? Or what do you qualify as "playtesting"?
You mean special snowflake as in it affects an entire faction of the game, or that it's not about how space Marines are so hard done by with their massive weapon selection and decent animations?
