So in all seriousness here I've ranked every race to 5 (hello 90 hours played). You know what made me stick with Orkz for the longest stretch now. It's not the weapons, or the "classes" or whatever. It's the playerbase. People are constantly communicating where to go, what to cap, where tin boxes are etc. And even when they aren't I find Ork players just know what to do when to do it FAR more often than LSM/Eldar (outside of some terrible clanstacks you see on the LSM side). CSM seem to know what's up as well. Had a 22 game winning streak over the weekend on Orkz. Feels good man.
Its probably a symptom that Orks have to be more coordinated than the other races. Hilariously I think this is all due to our complete inability to kill vehicles like the herp derp double melta combo gun and bomb all the other races get. I find Orks all have to callout vehicles more because it takes a concerted effort to eliminate them. This causes more chat, which causes people to be more aware of incursions and enemy approaches. After a while, Ork players get a better sense of the flow of battle and where people naturally move to basically by accident due to vehicle kill callouts. Next game callout "Rhino NE of B" or something and you'll see all the Orks wheel around and unleash the dakka as a power klaw goes flying in with 2 rokkit shootas start bombarding from the walls. Of course other races can do that, it just usually isn't necessary and they aren't as trained in the responses.
Probably, but since they're Chaos, its fine for them to stay the way they are since Chaos and Eldar get a free pass on OP stuff, while Orks' one advantage that makes the have a snowballs chance in hell at beating either one straight up MUST BE NERFED IMMEDIATELY WHY CAN"T I KILL 6 ORKS IN 1 LIFE? THIS ISN'T HOW IT'S SUPPOSED TO WORK.
Come on now guys, nothing to be excited about winning territory over LSM. A group of boy scouts could wipe out an entire company at this point.
Pretty much. Orks have nothing ranged that is as versatile as the autocannon or plasmacannon (with of which do better at close range than you'd think) and we've got NOTHING on meltas. And since ONE GUY with a melta can hold off all our vehicles, and we don't even have much of a chance of stopping him if we guard our trukks, it's a fact that we are the easiest race to force a ranged battle on. A ranged battle we would more often than not lose. But the moment we get in close and can do anything, we're OP.
Ork players RP all the time. They sit there taunting, all day, even as they die they taunt. I have been killed more times than I can count from playing "taunt Dbash taunt" with other Orks. I've seen countless other people killed for doing the same thing. I've watched a pair of Orks both get on top of a crate and spend an entire capture process dbashing each other off the crate. Repeatedly. I've seen players (and have myself) play "chicken" with transports of all flavours, or just outright taunt them if they can't hurt them. Part of the Ork lore is that they swarm. I think all these people, more inclined to RP, naturally group together because it's what "Orks would do". Not for any tactical genius, not because we're better players, just because it feels Orky. This might help our game somewhat.
