Re: Patch 2.9.3 Released !

I've got a brilliant idea - how about we delete GK and put all the effort that has been sunk into making them "balanced" into the other races?

Re: Hormagaunts

Horms don't scale well if you are treating them as a melee superiority unit, but that isn't their main role. They are there for chasing and wiping ranged units and they remain quite good at that against most ranged units (maybe not terminators); if you want a unit that can go toe-to-toe with other m...

Re: Make OM great again.

Is it true that GK are only in the game because a previously existing separate mod from elite had the models for them? I recall hearing that from one of the old veterans and it made the years long GK situation make sense. If they can be added on a whim, they can be removed on one as well IMO.

Re: My thoughts about next patch changes

The Guardian --> DA upgrade is a neat way to bring back guardians. Would DAs lose their previous support abilities or would this be a flat upgrade to combat stats?

Re: My thoughts about next patch changes

I like most of these suggestions - I'd at least like to see some of them tested.

Edit - One thing you didn't address would be the redundancy between FD melta bombs and haywire grenade on WS. Two units with a snare nade seems a bit much.

Re: Win rates of each race categorized by game length (League only)

How much of IG's success can be attributed to their oppressively strong T1?

Whenever I face them it is T1 that is consistently a nightmare, unless the IG player is trash.

Re: Karskin but Worth For every Situation

I agree they are lackluster.

Re: Tyranid Global: Without Number

I wish there was a way to get this global to T2. I only ever use it in T3 to stop caps in an emergency. Horms and terms just don't hold up late game well enough to be worth purchasing. At that point I usually try to let the horms die and replace them with genestealers, which are much better at fight...

The meta in this game evolves very slowly because of how few players there are, and the fact that the small playerbase is separated into insular cliques who mostly play against each other.

Re: (Suggestion) Tzeentch CSM Champion alteration

Plasma tacs are known to be better because having most of their anti-HI damage coming from a single model leads to much faster bleed. TCSM inferno damage being evenly spread across the squads means they are not very good at bleeding. The level 1 DPS of 4 TCSM is about 109 against HI, while Tacs with...

Re: Spotters and Catachans

I'd be up for maybe reducing the spotter mortar radius until later tiers. It seems like if the IG player puts the marker anywhere near an infantry unit, the mortar is undodgeable by most models.

I agree with your basic premise, but I think you're overstating the strength of spotters and ol' reliable. Spotters don't deal with 2 setup teams all alone - they disable them but other units still need to kill the SUT or make them retreat. An ASM unit can successively disable 2 SUTs and has the mel...

Re: Flesh Hook and Independent Character (Problems)

I dont know if this can be done in the coding, but instead of dying last, models could die and a new one could replace a vanilla squad member (the way they do with plasma guns and big shootas).

Re: (Suggestion) Tzeentch CSM Champion alteration

If you want to buff the AC in a way that improves the units' general ranged superiority, you could make him have a dmg buff, weapon range buff, or provide ranged DR like a DA exarch. Or make him a stronger combatant.

They are the only T2 unit that isn't extremely situational or rubbish.
