Because they are total shit at melee; animation nerfs, health nerfs, inferior melee equipment.....no longer true Orks. I agree Ork melee weapons should maybe not have high penetration, but they should hurt like hell when they do. Tau's(Orks) best equipment is medium to long ranged rapid firing or explosive stuff. Let quit the foreplay and just call it like it is......Orks are the new Tau.
So if I understand you right, you're saying that Orks need to have their ranged weapons nerfed to bring them in line with the expected level of performance?
Does that make the lsm ork? They have some absurd melee, outnumber everyone, and have almost no mind for tactics in most of their games....
I'd hate to say this, but me choppa is complete and utter shi-er-GAK. Once I unlocked my big shoota, I left my choppa at home and brought this nice piece of Dakka. I've never looked back.
I have to say, it's not quite what I was expecting when I first faced against Orkish snipers. I thought Autocannons and Heavy Bolters was bullshit, but Orkish marksmanship is a league unto itself.
Dis is my choppa! Dere'z many like it but DIS WUN IS MINE! Da Klubba's right nice against knife ears. If you 'it dem 'ard enuff dey turns ta sad mist. Do da slivery little gits don't make 'ittin 'em easy. I think our main weakness is that of the three power weapons we have, we have the slowest. Axe, Mace and Klaw. Between that and our slow animations (Try turning to attack someone behind you, your far more likely to die before you even half turn.) Our high racial toughness is also rather pointless against either SM, as most of their weapons have high pen, so you health stack instead, and the damage bonus people get attacking from behind is stupid for this reason and the latter animation speed. I have zero complaints about Eldar weapons though, because while they have low pen the fire rate makes up for it. And stacking toughness (The only race where theirs any point doing that) actually make you rather formidable as long as there's not a Warlock and banshee charging you because again, they ignore toughness and move so fast getting behind you is stupidly easy.
Sarcasm in the title of a post is a great way to be ignored. You didn't even attempt to use dev names to summon some attention to your cause! No offense and just so you know, I do agree with you but your presentation leaves much to be desired.
I have not played Orks that much outisde the garrison (maybe 3 or 4 matches) and then mostly melee. Is their ranged weaponry also too strong in the opinion of the delivering side? Because in the garrison it seemed to me that if you hold firm grip of your mouse, the recoil and spread are much less than to be expected from Ork-guns (but, like I said, that is subjective and I am used to some of the more goatish (is that even the right word? my dictionary told me to use it) guns of PS2 NC).
