They better get started then. Weren't they claiming they already were? Skill ceiling and whatnot? Ah, nevermind.
Tbh I think the scorp is kinda useless. To easy to counter them by having decent graphics settings and they dont have the mobility or rmb spam to hang with the other melee problem classes.
Skill with Eldar is like 30% of what it takes imo. Its more working in unison with good combos. Like I said, our Dires suck on their own. But when a team of 3 Dires, 1 Reaper and a Warlock roam around, their will be some trouble.
Holy fuck stop the presses. They're not that bad. You guys are blowing this shit way out of the water. Swooping Hawks still move faster than you can physically and mechanically just watch them move due to the limitations of the game, much less aim at them and hit them with hitscan(which makes it impossible to properly lead and hit fast moving targets) when they're moving horizontally in travel mode. Their vehicles move sideways at less than .1 KPH and instantly kill any Ork or Astartes via delivering a love tap that wouldn't even make an Ork or Astartes budge, must less kill them. So they're still broken in several ways, as in silly game mechanics that work in Eldar's favor resulting in players hating to play versus them. The fact that some classes and weapons might be underperforming in some aspects doesn't make the screwed up, broken(OP) aspects of Eldar immune to needing correction.
Buffing sm passively didnt exaclty help anyone else against them now did it. And seeing how almost what 90% of games played are against the god damn lsm faction it gets old quick.
Haven't you boycott us for 3 weeks? Unless you have played against them since the last patch, then you don't have a say in what their current state of affairs is. That being said, they aren't 'bad'. They are just so mediocre it hurts. They do their jobs passably, but they could be better. Take SC for example, its worse than a HB. Is it bad? No, but it could be better. Eldar right now are very unrewarding and don't feel as impressive as other factions. Honestly its amazing Eldar have held out. Comparing everything we have on a 1-to-1 basis, most of our stuff is mostly the 'eh'. Whereas LSM/CSM have outliers things like JPA, PCs, Stormbolters; and Orks have Rokkits, Kannon Deffguns. Eldar are just sort of 'meh'.
I don't care if they're bad or not, I just need them to seem bad so the mass of people stop playing them. You stop your presses mister.
In case you haven't noticed(why would you? you don't play the faction at all), that skill ceiling is rising from patch to patch constantly over last few months. Eldar are experiencing endless nerfs while all other factions are getting buffed. While exceptional players and premades still perform well, average player is just crushed while playing as eldar. Swooping hawk, unless you use hunters mark is out DPSed by bolt PISTOL. I've ambushed ork shoota today from 20 meters, was shooting at him for a second, he turned around and killed me. Banshee is a noob trap. Reaper is a noob trap. Sorry, but there is only so many nerfs a faction can get, before the skill stops being an argument. At the moment eldar are just worst faction in the game held semi competitive by hunters mark hawks and embolden warlocks exclusively.
When I'm running with guild I take the pops with the guild. Though when I'm solo it's still not worth the frustration. With the horrid amount of latency since the patch last week playing vs Eldar is even worse because their teleporting vs my rubberbanding is compounded 10 fold due to Eldar moving so fast. No thanks.
I'm gonna test that Hawk math, IDK. Lasblaster: 176.904/129.95 dps Sunrifle: 157.248/115.53 dps Hawk's Talon: 171/125.6 dps Bolt Pistol: 211.109/105.55 dps Smart Pistol: 158.33175/79.17 dps Will agree on the Banshee Noob-trap though. With their animations right now I feel Warlocks are better GA. Reapers are ok though.
