true, this is a team game though, so that's never or rarely would happen. not too impossible to kill the shield bro too may I add, though a bit tricky a power attack with the chaos GA or kick can stun the marine entirely, but acknowledging the the SM GA can plan his attacks. My personal conclusion, they're both equal in gear in terms of their play styles, but that ability to capture is just a searing point to me.
Yeah I guess it is, since I always play chaos it has never been a problem for me but I imagine that it would be the equivalent of Spm assault raptors being able to take points while chaos raptors unable. Is that what you feeling bro?
They do that too, to attract people to this faction. Come ! there will be full of advantages that others don't have
MoN marines are a bit unbalanced right now. It's a clear situation of something being greater than the sum of its parts. They're as agile as regular marines, a smaller target than ASMs, easier to lose in a crowd, they pack serious melee hardware and can tank a truly ridiculous amount of damage. I've seen a single MoN sprint into a room and kill 5, yes 5 marines before someone finally killed him. Speed+power weapons+extra toughness+mitigation buff+zeal+able to cap points is a bit insane. More to the point, I'd be happy if tactical marines could trade in their bolter for a chainsword, not like that doesn't happen in fluff all the damn time
Yes, but having one counter to a very potent and spammable class is poor game design. And even plasma struggles to knock them out when they're getting their chop on. Not to mention the guaranteed friendly fire from shooting into melee.
Having seen people stand there staring dumbly at the cap point as it slowly ticks away screaming for a Tactical/Traitor, it's almost like they didn't know this.
