So I've just played my first game against Eldar since the new patch and boy did it not disappoint.

Wave Serpent spam, everywhere. Our Trukks and Armour could not beat them. Add to this that we don't have any Anti-Vehicle loadouts when we start a character and they are impossible to respond to.

Ork melee is still totally ineffectual against Eldar, they are just too quick to catch and can run backwards shooting or evade way too easily.

Ork shooting is considerably worse than the Eldar equivalent.

This really needs to be sorted out, I'm tempted to just quit the game against Eldar from now on as they are unplayable.

Here's a screenshot that I think illustrates my point well enough.


Top score on their team? 25 kills (well done DJ), you'll also notice they have a number of players with 15-20 kills. Top score on our team? 12 kills. Less than half. Note how few kills are above 10. It needs some serious work or I don't see how Orks will be able to compete with Dar at all.

Do you guys have any amazing tips that might help my game against Eldar? Do you all groan and feel a twinge of annoyance inside when you see you're placed against them? Am I the only one who thinks this is messed up?

Yo dawg, I heard your like screenshots, so I put a screenshot in yo screenshot...

Lol the original image was too big!

I've done a little research here

Everyones melee is now broken, except for two Eldar classes.

Deffgun preset can damage vehicles but yeah, would be nice to have someone with a Meltabomb at least.

That being said, I think the War Wagon got boosted. I actually was able to kill Waves with just the main cannon before dying last night. If you have boyz manning the turrets you'll definitely down vehicles.

I see that less and less people comes in to play for the orks. We are in this patch have not given anything. Only took. That's good. Each extreme only when he reached his limit can lead to its opposite. Simply put: developers will understand only what we need to balance only when we stop everything to play for orks.

yeah depending on the map at times and on the role of attacking or defending with Orks right now it's just a one sided curb stomp into oblivion, not to say orks are not fun my god they are, just do not feel ready for launch yet unless major tweaks coming in patch 24 ^^

I do not want to know. I want to see orks playable.
