So we all know the problems, and we all held out for this patch to maybe just maybe one problem to be fixed I had my hopes for Dbash but this patch....yes it feels more smother and i feel a deffo improvment to the game over all as orks though? actually feels like they want the ork community to diminish thats the only reason i can think of with the lack of fixes we are getting im seriously thinking of sticking leaving orks and just playing another faction until stuff is fixed like seriously its not like the problems we have are brand new are they :/ Anyone else agree or disagree?
I think Orks are pretty awesome, maybe you are playing to the old meta and not to the new patch? My main issue with Orks is the lack of Painboys even though they are our greatest tool. At most I have seen 3 in an entire match...which if notice the other teams are stacking 3 healers to every 5 other troops. If we stacked numbers like that as well, we would dominate every engagement (until waaagh). Stack HP instead of armor, on some of my builds i'll get 280+ Health, couple that with healing and you are a monster Rokkits are amazing this patch. Its like a close/mid range plasma cannon with similar TTK to the current meltagun Chainswords are our best all around melee weapon now (combine with lifesteal and shield or zipp gun) Work as a team when taking down enemy melee units, one person stuns and everyone else guns/melee Some more follow-up thoughts. If each squad had similar to the following and stuck together......teams would be crying for Ork nerfs. 2-3 Painboys 4 Stormboys/Slugga 2 Shoota 1 Loota/AV Shoota
I was about to start a similar thread. I'm not going to play another faction, I'm just going to stop playing. This must be a joke. Plasma still dominates everywhere and every range. Swords are unbeatable for us in melee, regardless of which weapon we use. I'm sick of them fucking ignoring clangs. Klaws, our supposed "iconic" weapon, are a steaming pile of shit. Half the hits with it just don't register. Melta still obliterates our vehicles in seconds and we have nothing of our own to compete. Our Dbash works less now than ever. A fly lands on our backs and we go down. Also every other race seems to have a magical "360 clang" defence, except us, we just drop, they take 0 damage. I really don't know what to say, I've played about 10 matches now as Orks and have won 1 where the enemy team (I think LSM) just killed us over and over rather than playing to the objectives. I got better things to do than to be a whipping boy for the other factions on here, fuck that. I'll try the shootas next but I don't want to be forced into playing a certain class/style because everything else is broken.
I don't think they hate us. I think we are still fairly new and in need of work. At the same time devs have a slew of other problems to deal with so stuff is bound to go wrong somewhere. Uf they really hated us we would all be base boyz with no armor incapable of bringing anything down unless the entire team mobbed a single enemy. OP this seems a bit harsh to say the devs hate the ork faction.
We are still missing 2 of our base weapon types and the snowflake marines are getting a special snowflake weapon pulled out of the devs ass. To those that don't know I'm talking about the splash burna *plasma gun equivalent for shoota* and kombi shoota *shoota+rokkit* both of which could be added they just don't because we're low priority. We literally only have a power axe equivalent and no sword/maul equivalent *talking about the 140 pen ones boys not the shitty clubba/choppa axe with their 80 pen* The bugs with most of our weapons have been around since launch and hadn't been addressed such as kannon reloading when braced no comment on that one still though it doesn't even bother me anymore. Really I think it comes down to this..... We have the lowest population in game so that makes us the lowest priority. Oh and I know the melee change was more of a fix but at the same time it kinda was a nerf since we don't have power weapons outside of the axe/klaw which are both slow as dog shit. *edit* @RageScreama True the devs don't hate us orks we're just very low priority due to being the smallest player base... TBH though that's not exactly a more comforting thought though since it just demoralizes the player base of the faction.
Why is everyone so mad about the kannon reload!? Am I the only one that actually likes it? It forces me to be more aware of my suroundings and allows me to unintentionally avoid incoming fire. It is actually not that bad of a thing to be forced to do compared to other stuff that could have been.
Yea no doubt it's not that big of a deal and it can work out in your favour. Now make every other OHK weapon a single fire reload, y'know, for balance, lets see how the PC spammers like that?
Do you ever tryed a rockit launcher? How can you compare them to plasma cannons? Its take twice the time to charge, ork cant hold the rockit while plasma can fully charge it behind an obstacle, move out and shot, rockit must be reloaded after every shot while plasma every 3(2 sec for cooling), rockit cant be reloaded while pointing from cover while plasma can, rockit its not reliable at long range....etc 1 guy spamming plasma balls does the job of 3 boyz with heavy rockit launchers. Hell in my first game trying plasma as a lv 2 chaos marine I got 47 kills, with my ork lv 6 with rockit my best is 27. Why do you think painboyz are great? Their only available weapon will break in 2 axe hits, their healing grenade its huge, can be sniped from 300 metters away and the gas grenade kills as many allies than enemies. Chaos sorcerers wearing force axes, that op poison, healing/reviving allies at safe spots from distance are 1000 times better, apothecaries can use bolters and their grenades do the same but with 1/5 of the size. Chainswords and choppa blades(the only "usefull" melee weapons orkz have now) are shit compared to energy swords, and have no chance against force axes, maces or fist. On most of my games vs chaos we are outnumbred since some orks are leaving before the start.
