Re: Eldar Ideas

Channeling runes does get interrupted when the Warlock is knocked down. If it didn't, he probably had his shield up or something like the previous commenter pointed out. Do we really want to nerf Wraithlords? Wasn't a large part of the 2.8 Falcon nerfs to try to get people to actually buy the Wrait...

Re: Re-Evaluation of Dire Avengers

The main drawback to DA, I have found, is their lack of utility post-T1 when piercing damage doesn't mean shit. Good thing that's not the only thing they do then. They give perfect cover, cheap grenades, detect, repair. No utility ... LOL. Perfect cover: helps mitigate very low health and poor armo...

Re: Data Collection - win/loss statsistics by faction

Those numbers are exclusively for 1v1 in a formal setting though. Might be interesting to see 3v3 and 2v2 performance.

Regardless, win ratios by hero might be even more valuable. That might be where we see more meaningful differences.

Data Collection - win/loss statsistics by faction

Has anyone considered implementing a data-gathering element to the game where all wins and losses are compiled by race? I have no idea how this would be done, but it might be interesting (for the sake of balance) to know which races have a higher win/loss-rate than others, if any exists at all. This...

Re: Banshee scaling, or lack of

Banshees chasing your units across the map and deleting them might not have been toxic and unfun from your (Eldar only?) PoV but it was from mine and others. Problem was banshees didn't just punish bad positioning. They punished almost any positioning. Rangers one shotting models doesn't take any s...

Re: Warp Spiders call-in

Seems more like an issue of internal balance to me. Whenever a unit/option is under used in a faction, I think its worth asking questions. I don't see many WS players using the WS callin, and I suspect most of you don't either if you're being honest. The question should be why. If we decide the red ...

We all know what happens: You've forced off the SM tacs and they escape with 3 or 2 models on 30 hp between them.

My question, gentle readers, is simply this: why is it so hard to kill tactical models?

Re: Could large 3v3 maps be designed to promote capping and minimize blobbing?

The issue of map layout actually speaks to balance in some ways. Armies with low durability but high speed benefit, because the map allows them to use their strengths and punishes the slowness/ durability of others. Its the one scenario where being fast offsets being fragile. As has been said, most ...
