How do you split up vehicle spawns? How about when an ork throws a poison grenade and an eldar dies from it. Its not going to work, and they would have to be beyond desperate to use this idea. And even if they DID implement this to placate the space marinez waiting for games, who says orks or eldar would even WANT to que into that mess.
Ere' we go: First two months of launch: Eldar / CSM / Ork over performing in that order due to back end net coding anomalies. LSM under performing for the same reasons yet the majority of the population is still LSM and there is still variety in matches. Three months into launch: Eldar / CSM / Ork OP net coding anomalies fixed + LSM given more armour + new weapon (also heal grenades given to Ork / LSM to compete with superior ranged auto lock heal of Eldar / CSM) A patch ago?: PC bollocks nerfed into extinction (and rightly so). Ranged Tactical type classes across the board for all factions has duration of Dbash stun increased (and rightly so). Resulting outcome is all factions are about equal (even though Eldar are riddled with once shot mechanic bollocks). also something screwey is going on with Eldar Stealth, as in a mole with vision impairment can spot them from half way across the zone. . . . . . at night. . . Present day: LSM still out number all other factions which hasnt changed, less people playing Eldar / Ork because of the multitude of bugs being fixed the game is no longer skewed in their favour so those who wanted an easy ride have no remaining reason for loyalty to these factions and have now re-distributed to LSM / CSM = less Ork & Eldar. Dbash still counters Strong Attack in the wind up -.- Conclusion: LSM are blamed for aforementioned broken mechanic nerfs and relatively equal balance obtained (despite Eldar once shot mechanic crutchery bollocks still being a thing) and population imbalances being re-distributed as mentioned above because /logic? /scapegoat? /reality check? /get off the damn warp dust?
Well, your pain is against majority. The fact that SM is a W40K universe icon and majority of the people who wants to play w40k game, wants to be a Space Marine. Don't you ask yourself, why Relic made a game named "Space Marine" about Ultramarine captain. Why it wasn't a game about "Ork Nob" or a "Chaos Sorcerer"? That's because most w40k fans want to be a Shiny Saviour of the Humanity. This thing is a must for high sales of any w40k game. That's a plain fact. On the other side we have internal problems with population and matchmaking, that you are facing in EC. But these problems are minor, because if Dev's won't get much sales, they will get not enough money and the game will die. And sales depend on the people who like the game or not. And majority of these people, guess who? SM. So we need some solution to this problem, but not now. Because now they have much more major problems that affect sales and their cash flow. In fact, what will happen if any race wins a map right now? - nothing. Game mechanic of the territory bonuses are not implemented. So this is just makes no sence. I suggest you to stick to some guild or find yourself a team. Check the EC Recruitment forum. It's much more fun to play together and face an overwhelming enemy. Also I agree that SM arsenal is much worse compared to other races. PC was nerfed. No melee DOT weapons for assaults. No AC.
Oh poor LSM, you don't have every weapon the other factions have. Never mind the fact that 2 races share the plasma cannon, how ever will you live without having an underwhelming poison knife that requires a 150lp tax.
