Executed units cannot retreat. Unit's executed with bionic eye can still be knocked back, thus they can still be insta wiped if this ability is not used correctly. It has a much higher degree of difficulty to use than other "mega buffs" and costs you a model. As an aside, all executes offe...

I will be declining any nomination putting me into the position of lead designer. I would have loved to have taken that role on a while back and I feel qualified and objective enough for this role, but my life is too busy for that commitment. As I laid out last week to a large group of reasonable vo...

It's also one of the best matchups to purchase a powersword in as your FC will be completely indominable save for from a havok. 20 power goes a super long way in this one.

Incorrect. It shoots directly at the spot where the target is at the moment of the plasma ball being released from the chamber. An arc was added so that it doesn't hit terrain as often. The only things that cause the plasma ball to hit unexpected places are: 1) user targeting (attack ground command)...

I think I found a bug with the lord commissar aura of discipline. I was using it while standing right next to my wounded ogryns and they weren't receiving heal pulses from it. There were no other infantry around so they should have been healing very rapidly. I forgot to save the replay but I know ex...

Well fack no wonder why this shield is so freaking amazing. I always wondered...

I think I cried a little bit when I read the part that said, "ASM, Raptors, and STORMBOYZ are all comparable" Just no. ASM and Raptors yes. Stormboyz absolutely not. Should I be throwing Raveners into that mix as well? Man statements like that remove a lot of credibility because it shows y...

2 things... First, I don't think your method is good/great in any sense for balancing a RTS game because it appears to lean heavily into a false sense of "apples to apples". Maybe I'm reading it wrong? Regardless though, you simply cannot do this when there are a multitude of variables you...

I'm blown away...

Eldritch does not need increased damage in any way. It is the ultimate AV ability. That is it's trait! (Here we go again with needing to lay out distinctions) Roks is an all around damage dealer and disruptor Orbital bombardment is the ultimate retreat killer, but is not effective without a knockba...

I'll try to say this with utmost respect, but to the complainers out there, have you ever played another team game in another strategy game? Do you know what happens when you start multiplying auras and spells? THIS IS THE FATE OF TEAM MATCHES, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU MOVE UP TO 3V3 OR EVEN SOMETHING LI...

Question: Why do Lootas have infiltration? Answer including context: Lootas have the ability to hide once setup to give them a unique feel and a tactical advantage in specific situations. It gives them a different niche than other setup teams, and their damage output really reflects that whereby the...

As much as I don't want you guys messing with the lootas or orks in general, I agree that the infiltration is quite strong in T1. I think we should make it cost 25 red in T1 and then let it be free in T2 and beyond as a compromise. 25 red means you would definitely need to be thoughtful about using ...

Stikkbommas in their current iteration are top tier disruption units. Their melee special attack is fantastic for bodyguarding your back line units, and their stun bombs work on all types of units, as well as having a shorter cooldown and lower cost now. Basically, play them as a stun first unit. Us...

IMO melta dread is largely a timing/gamble upgrade. Continually purchase and cancel it to find the exact right time for it to come to revealed. Some examples: 1. Head to head walker battle. Buy the upgrade as soon as you are getting into combat. If the battle is close, cancel it and repurchase it. I...

... I don't know why anyone seriously bothers anymore... After re-reading the comment, I apologize for not really addressing the first part. The setup time is something that should be considered as well, yes. But I was serious in saying that psilencers deliver the damage with the same method that a...

It requires micro to make it work. I think that's the only thing people end up disliking about GK AV. I say that sincerely and without disrespect to the people who say GK AV sucks. I used to feel that way about ork AV when I was early on in my days of Dow2. I just couldn't kill vehicles because I di...

Indeed, well done Atlas. You have been a great mediator in this balance process and I really feel like we are moving in the right direction now.

Bang bang hammer is returning to its original form. It has not received any buff at all.

I'm honestly willing to try and keep it at 20 power as a weaker item to get a better timing window for it, but I leave this to the masses.

Im in!

Hero picks:
WL, WSE, Mek, tba, tba

Khorne shrines are useless you say?.........

Don't insult SC2 like that Cyris... its a highly polished and very competitive game.

Why build lootas you say? Much higher ranged damage output for only 10 more power. 15 less power if you take into account the nob leader. Only need to keep 1 model for damage. 2 is practical for survival though. Transition into hard AV Lootas still do damage while they are supressing something. Shoo...

This is a format I can play in. Cheers to Adila!

My commanders will be:
Warlock, Chaos Sorcerer, Hive Tyrant, Kommando Nob, Warp Spider Exarch

@ Torpid, Please watch the recent games where Yaay abuses the hell out of Ricemuncher with 4x rangers. You might think again before giving rangers at 20 power any "needed" buffs... On the topic of rangers... I have been playing a lot of eldar lately and I find them to be in an excellent sp...

Correct

A slanesh dread with flamer/splash would make 0 sense in the chaos meta. It would fill a total of 0 holes in the chaos arsenal. Let's approach this problem with a more intelligent beginning by asking the question, "what are some stated weaknesses that chaos has that slanesh upgrades could help ...

This would be awesome seeing as how tournaments have always been so hard to play from across the pond.
