Re: Calling Judgement

Caeltos: When you say staying away from an extensive time, how long are we talking?

Adeptus: Yeah I've read that a few times. I mean, it gives great advice, but then again, some things in their are very situational and it's just confusing to a newer player at times.

Calling Judgement

So I've been playing a lot of games lately and have been getting slowly better. One thing though I still have trouble with is calling judgement. I always seem to retreat my units too early/late, engage poorly, flank poorly, and everything I seem to do is poorly. My micro isn't the best but it's arou...

Re: Patch 2.5 (WIP)

Cyris: And I did exactly that so....

Crewfinity: Yeah I guess I can see that. Making the opponent spend on AV is a fairly solid choice. I guess it would be stronger against factions that have to tier up in order to get AV. Eh idk, I'm still learning.

Re: Ork Lootas are terrible

Yeah as I play more 1v1 and learning to anticipate actions it's becoming easier to use them. I finally was able to get one to lvl 4 and it felt so good!

Orks vs. Nids T1

Ok, so I've played a lot of matches against nids now and I must say I am completely stumped. There is nothing I can do against them and I have tried the following openings... Warboss>Slugga>Shoota>Shoota>Loota, Warboss>Slugga>Slugga>Shoota>Loota, Warboss>Slugga>Slugga>Slugga. I try to have my shoota...

Re: Ork T1 Help

I've been practicing the stuff you said and I've seen slight improvements. I guess it's just gonna take a while before I get the full swing of things, coming into the game late and what not. Thanks for the advice though :D

Re: 1v1, 2v2, or 3v3? Which will make me better?

Gotta love out of game flamerz :D

Yeah been playing 1v1 a lot more now and it's starting to grow on me a bit as I take it slowly. My main things now are tactics and map awareness... which probably wont be perfected but definitely improved upon.

Re: Ork Lootas are terrible

Thank you to the people who actually posted advice. At least with those stats I can now see why it seems they don't do much damage at times and other stuff. It's better to hear advice from a person who has played a bit rather than just reading dry stats because stats don't tell completely everything...

Re: 1v1, 2v2, or 3v3? Which will make me better?

That is all true. I'm starting to build a tolerance slowly... I think it's just "ladder anxiety" due to having my record look like shit haha. But yeah, just from the few 1v1s I've played I'm starting to see a significant difference.

Re: Some exercises to practice for struggling or new players

I like all the advice. I know part of the game is playing it, but sometimes it takes more than just playing the game. That's why I hate the answer "just play" because as an ex-competitive gamer, I know that's not always the case. However, I loved the advice, and it's making me see a little...

Re: 1v1, 2v2, or 3v3? Which will make me better?

Well I've been doing a few 1v1 and am getting shit on pretty hard. Even by people I know I could beat but I guess I just gotta play more... but omfg I hate losing so much it just kills me. Personally, I'm super competitive, and when losing, it just flares me up. Losing is the one thing I hate to do ...

Ork Lootas are terrible

So playing many matches as Ork, I've came to the conclusion... Ork Lootas suck terribly. Their range is terrible, their damage is somewhat lacking imo, and no matter what, they always die. The only viability I've found out of them is t2 and that's just for slowing vehicles. Any comments/suggestions ...

1v1, 2v2, or 3v3? Which will make me better?

Ok, I have put on a lot of threads, read threads, and they've all given various answers. So my plan is to get better as quick as I can. I have asked for advice, which helps, and have played a lot of 3v3s to reinforce what I've learned. However, the problem is, I don't think I'm advancing fast enough...

This seems like it's going to be a good patch and will change gameplay a lot. That's what I love about balance tweaks, it doesn't just fix the current factions, but makes all of them play slightly different :D Also, it's awesome to see that things that need to be fixed are getting priority over newe...
