Yeah it wasnt supposed to have the slow we all know that. But they also screwed with its hit detection resulting in it going back to the old crappy version that is incredibly difficult to use for anything outside antivehicle. Now that the damage is also nerfed its pretty much just bad. You only get to suicide bomb with it now which is just dumb considering how bad the long range AV option is for eldar. Just once can you guys please ignore the other factions and NOT nerf the eldar into the ground. It isnt fun fighting against them or as them anymore. It is literally the most rage inducing thing I can think of in this game trying to level an eldar. Everything the SM have is a better version of eldar equip outside the double melta bomb bundle. For the love of god please, please PLEASE, give them a meaningful upgrade to some of their guns, stop making anything they have that works ineffective, and lower their LP costs on armor. I mean holy crap they dont get any mid tier armor at all nor can they even afford their single armor upgrade ( which doesnt really do much anyway >.>) and still carry any gear. Just please take a break from the damn SM factions and work on your xenos who are in dire need of a good go over.
I see it as a trend that people keep saying it isn't fun to fight against Eldar. I'm one of those people. I also don't really have any reasons besides I get a ton of "that was bullshit" moments usually involving lag. In fact I actually don't really lose to Eldar or even feel that they're strong, just incredibly unfun to play against. Anyone else feel similarly?
I just get tired of being able to out duel them even when they get the drop on me as any of the other factions. I know its a weird way to look at it. The only time they ever really seem like a threat is when you are up against a whole group of decent players that cordinate super well. Even half assed cordination doesnt help them much anymore it seems. All the other factions have classes that feel good on their own. The eldar just dont have that.
I'm gonna have to agree with Ragescreama here. Now I don't play Eldar, but as a faction they definitely seem to be underperforming (not to mention underpopulated as hell). Devs definitely need to give the space elves a bit of real love or they're never gonna actually have Eldar players stay. Just gimme the ability to crouch to avoid getting instakilled by their sleigh-o-doom and give them some awesome things in exchange or something.
Well that is the point. We are OP asf in lore and our classes our designed to harass and sneak up on you. Our tacticals are the worst 1v1 right now. What I mean is that our main weapon will marginally win at close range. A Dire Avenger can down someone no problem, but a REGULAR bolter will take you to like 25 health. Hawks aren't meant to 1v1 anyway. Reapers are pretty much the most mediocre of the heavies, with their weapons being worse than other factions. Dragons are good, I haven't noticed this hit detection issue you speak of. Banshees need polish. The only 'good' (do their role well and feel rewarding to play imo) are the Warlock and Scorpion, both of whom do their job well. Hawks would be here, but they need a revamp. Hawks are only 1/2 right in my book. They need to be more focused on bombing runs, maybe rework their grenade to small damage, MASSIVE aoe?
No Comrade, this is the moment I've been waiting for. At last eldar have been so beaten down that only the most elite of players will use them. They shall be a faction of purists, unmatched in their skill.
Yeah that's what happened with the Eldar faction when they first got out and were massively underpowered compared to the others
