I thought Burnas and Skorchas were "'Umie Fryers"... While outlandish weaponry is part of the Orks' charm, and I do want the 'Umie Fryer in my Pile o' Gunz, we are in fact a warrior race and that means weapons that get the job done (even if we do sometimes blow ourselves up doing it). If we could get Snazzgunz and Kustom Mega-Blastas, it would go a long way towards the health of the Orky community. Either of these could easily be the faction's plasma equivalent, spendy but more reliable at range, something Orks really need to compete with the long-range death machines of the other factions (Abaddon's (dis)Grace, Reaper Launchers, I'm looking at you). Perhaps costed to be more of a Nob class weapon, since it would be fitting for the ruling caste to have the clout and teef for such dakka. Just a reminder for the devs: all factions have to be kept happy, not just the most popular one, otherwise you end up with a lopsided game. The cheesiest gear and shiniest cosmetics won't do them any good if the other factions are too fed up to bother trying. I really want the Umie Fryer to be a good weapon! All it needs is for the lock-on requirement to be removed. Done! Simple as that. Everything after is just gravy. I just want to go on record and say that Ork players are THE most loyal fan-base for 40k bar NONE.
To be fair we do have the kannon to fend off ranged defenders. Once you master it I'd say its way better than a reaper launcher and can kill an auto cannon pretty easy if he doesn't spot you first. The umie fryer is meant to be a short/medium range cluster fuck kill weapon but with how much people roll around GL getting a full charge off.
The umie fryer is kinda trash so far... Same with the burny syringe fucking thing is 3 less condition on hit and 4x the price of the normal 'urty.. I'm curious as to why the Apothicary has a war narthecium which is the equivalent of a chain sword.... In the fucking knife slot.... That can be taken with a bolter.... I honestly can't fucking understand what is going on here... They basically have a bolter+chain sword combo now while the painboy is still 'urty+pistol
Another thing is, how often do you see multiple enemies in line and you have 1.5s time to fire it at least once? guess not often. it would mabye have been usefull if they reduce the dmg a bit but the charging time massive like ~125 dmg but only 0.5-0.75s charging time.
Kind of? They made the initial explosion deal full damage but it's got to basically be under their feet. anything under that only deals the nerfed 70 damage. The radius of the explosions already poor. Maybe if other factions get grenade launchers (Which Hawks already sort of have, at least. That's what the Lore of their pooping grenades is.) Though It's usually scout marines/cultists that get them not Tacts/CSM themselves? their on SM bikes too.
That they are. I can't complain about them anymore though, as they can't stan on the ground and throw them anymore. /and while people say. "They have less radius." That's kind of an invalidated argument when you can throw more than two. I tell you what Apoths really need Boyz! Deyz need a chainchoppa wiv a bolta innit. So dat as well as dakka and chop, they'z can chop an dakka!
Well they can go play Gear of War to get their space marine porn. This is Warhammer 40k where Orks are supossed to ANNIHILATE IN MELEE, and in this current game Orks play like Tau.... Also, why can't we have epic executions like these?
It's called handy cap the orks so the marines can win or total incompetence from the devs. Hard choice those two
It's funny because I played last night and laughed as a raptor with necrotic chain sword skated around and killed 5 of my team before I blew him out the sky and they reckon that crap is balanced?
