Re: General 2.8 Update and Roadmap

Adult and I have already started familiarizing with the code. It’s easier than I thought but I will have to ask some things from time to time.

Re: Plasma devs

"Worst unit in the game" They cost no power so if you are floating req (what good SM players will because no model losses) you can get them. They negate setup and static plays. Getting hit by even one shot means retreat for the respective unit. If you are playing vs a faction that has high...

Re: Tyranids units cost too high

Final 2 cents: if you deliberately ignore a key mechanic of a faction to base your theory of „nid eco weak“ on then this is a pointless discussion. You are doing the same mistakes new players make by comparing and analyzing stuff in a vacuum. Yes Nids will underperform if singled out - fun fact: Nid...

BGq28biUsA8 Since we are using videos from way back in the past when the meta and factions were not completely re-designed. Looks to me like Nids can deal with walkers just fine. And their eco allows for multiple T3 walkers even though they are being bled continuously. Also, how can your read all y...

You people keep talking about prices and dps, while nobody takes into consideration the synapse effect.

Re: 2.8 Non-Consensus Thread (Part 2 of 2)

Please elaborate on how Apo vs TM would be Apo favored? Imo Apo being a melee default hero often is a guarantee for winning the first fight. Apo Tacs stay on the field longer and with ASM it becomes that much harder in T1. T2 is when the TM starts to shine imo.
I am curious though.

Re: 2.8 Non-Consensus Thread (Part 2 of 2)

Giving the Apo a ranged weapon would drastically change certain matchups (thinking Eldar and Orks here). The Apo can take on Banshees with Tac support if they were shot up sufficiently on approach. He can’t do it with a ranged weapon. It would also fuck up the Apo v TM matchup in favor of the TM imo...
