I understand that the weapon is supposed to be "flimsy" but I am literally forced to use this weapon on a stormboy or I will be so incredibly screwed over it isn't even funny. What was once my favorite weapon post Burny Choppa Nerf, is now pretty damn useless. I'm really not happy at all with this patch, especially since we've only received nerfs and no real buffs (Dbash fix when?) that just make it harder and harder to enjoy Orks. I'm especially frustrated when I still see Space Marine stormshields protecting them from all melee damage while they're stunned. Thankfully our Choppas, Chain Choppas, and knuckles are the still the same, so expect to see those in great abundance now. How do you guys feel about this patch? tldr: Filled to the brim with salt over this patch. Edit: Also, I am still not allowed to max out my advancement tree. I've been stuck at exactly 249 AP since I hit rank 6.
Bunch of unwarrented nerfs to orks with no compensation to put us on par in departments we are severly lacking in.
Just like working a job, if you do too good, the higher ups make things harder for you since they know you can handle it. I really think Orks are just the BEST PLAYERS on average, and there is nothing any nerfs will do to balance that out without getting to a point where it just comes off as really unfair. We have huge disadvantages all over the place, but somehow we pull through.
I'm having fun. My melee game is okay with me 'urty syringe, and I see the issues with the axe people are having as easy to solve as trying to go out of their previous comfort zone and adjust to new weapons. I haven't felt the health decrease at all, because I have seen my survivability up by a ton with the reduced headshot damage. Maybe people are just charging in guns blazing all the time unnecessarily, because I find myself surviving for very long if I'm trying to go for that. All in all, if anything this patch has proven to me that many ork players had settled into a very comfortable spot, and a bit of pressure from the devs was enough to make them flip out. I might just be a pitiful scrub for not noticing a gamebreaking change in all of this in the matches I have played.
Axes were never supposed to be as fast as they were. That was a bug. Thus, it wasn't technically a nerf. Just never expected them to feel so slow. On the upside, it got me testing out all the other melee weapons, and hey, I kinda like the ded shiney choppa blade w/ damage and life steal.
Hey Franky boy! You finally got into the forums eh? Good on ya! As for the patch, the health nerf doesn't effect us much at all. I still feel the same kind of durability I've always had. Bit of a worthless 'fix' but whatever shuts those idiot LSM up. Axes/clubs nerf was well overdue but I hate how slow they are now. Maybe just need to adjust but the "fast" attack on them are as slow as power klaws now! Might as well just use klaws instead if you ask me! Some gits are still whining about electro choppa for whatever reason. I can't see many boys using it anymore it truly sucks compared to the swordy choppas. My only complaint is that our melee weapon selection went from one of the best to one of the worst! Axes/clubs are barely usuable, all the sword choppas are exactly the same (minus burny), and our only non-klaw power weapon is now nerfed into the ground! It's really starting to bother me.
I dont know how they manage to fuck up so easy the orks with a patch. But hey, whatever makes the lsm shut their filthy mouth.
I think as I've said elswhere I'm done for now just pure frustration playing orks, don't care about the axe nerf. but they haven't even bothered to fix the F@ing D-bash or taken into acoount Plasma or Melta, and left us with absoloutly no strengths, combined with the take down in our HP I am no longer going to play cannon fodder for the other 3 factions, they may as well roll out the Free to waagh...
