Eldar nerf at least... It's row to balance! And how i see it: Man-bird - Eldars. Cop - bE. Koala - Eldars fans. https://coub.com/view/f6lkb
I just had the best battle of my life playing nearly a full squad of MYST with CSM. We worked bloody hard for it and it shows Elder are not invincible even in the best hands. I hope the nerfs don't hit them too badly.
Great EC staff, collapsed under the crymarines pressure. Gonna start crying marines are OP until they got a nerf.
I'm not convinced that making the Eldar a close-mid combat faction with extremely limited long range options is that bad of an idea in isolation - it would certainly fit the class layout we've got. The problem of course, is that the nature of the game - every map centering around capturing points in small enclosed rooms - massively favours that range. Plasma Cannons are broke, but really - imo - only need reducing to the point where they only one-shot armour/health buffed targets on a direct hit. Their problem is that, frankly, they are too good in CQC where you would expect heavy weapons to be crippled. But see above about why that's a problem in EC as it stands. Also, from a sort-of-maining-Eldar perspective (about a rank above my other characters) - the Scorpion nerf seems odd, it's not a big nerf because they'll still two-heavy most opponents, but I rarely see another when I play mine (which I do largely out of bullheadedness, even with lag/AMD-FPS my Banshee is flat out superior). As for the Swooping Hawks, I don't think tuning their weapons to slightly below Bolter levels is necessarily bad - although I'd rather see Bolters buffed and SH weapons sit at current-bolter levels - but it won't do anything to the real problem which is Hunter's Mark. Which is horribly broken, a fact exacerbated by the fact that Unique Weapons are either broken (Hunter's Mark, Fire Crozius... Chaos Fire-Crozius-Clone-I-Forget-The-Name-Of) or utter trash (that shuriken catapult is laughable, for example).
You know they are going off statistics from the game right? I very highly doubt that they would remove some, not even all, of the things that have been complained about on the threads based on player anecdote alone. I honestly would have preferred they added benefits to the space marines rather that bring y'all's power down, but it is faster in the short term at least to level the playing field a little while they put together bigger content.
Rip Eldar. Jk. But seriously can I get some guides or something on how to play Eldar because apparently i was doing it wrong swooping around and pew pewing heads. Not sarcasm by the way; I just really love Eldar and do not want to stop playing them under frustration of lack of skill or understanding. Hell I think Dire Avengers are weak as all get out, the only reason no one else can cap is just to make them viable. Or I'm still missing something.
