Also, if anyone want to play nids vs nids matchup - hit me up. I think i never played it, not enough tyranids around.


It's pretty much the only MU I know where Genestealers are the best choice.

Re: Nids vs SM

5- Without Number needs to be nerfed. Come to think of it, I would really love to see Without Number reverted to its T2 400req/100red, no reinforcement state. That gave Nid players the option to call down two Gaunt squads early in T2 to surprise the opponent with a massively swarmy build. That was ...

Re: Nids vs SM

And i always lose my TG in the once i lose an engagement and forced to back-off (I really dislike TG even if everybody says it's overpowered, for me TG is just a melee walker w/o melee resistance or vehicle armor).

Re: Nids vs SM

I got a question as well: how can HT possibly deal with Warboss? Stormboyz with UYC just destroy everything in t1, shootas outshooting termagants, sluggas outslugging hormagaunts. And t2 is even worse. I got no idea how to play this MU. I actually think HT has a pretty awesome advantage over Warbos...

Re: Nids vs SM

1. How do I deal with heavy walkers (Dread, Wraithknight)? It takes forever to take them down with venoms... I heard from Floid that Stealers can destroy melee walkers but I prefer a Tyrant Guard. It won't beat a melee Walker solo but it can bait it into combat while Venoms/HT/RA fire from range. T...

Re: Chaos lord bugs out Senti

It's how the game works and it's a part of it. Don't want the slow-ass BC or CL to path-block your sent? Well get gud and move your sent away from them before it gets close... It's not like the sent is particularly vulnerable to rogue CLs running up behind it and blocking it... A CL shouldn't reall...

Re: Blight Nades against orcs,ig and nids OP ?

I always have the feeling that the Apo's nades are more devastating to infantry than the blight nades. Also I don't think either of those abilities needs to be nerfed. The only combo that I feel is slightly OP is with the bile spewer ability (I'm not sure what it's called). I think it actually has m...

Re: Proposal - Make Techmarine Structures Tier 2

Agreed almost entirely with Riku's last post. That's a lot of resources you are dumping into protecting a small part of a 3v3 map. Just flank or go elsewhere? That depends on the map. Obviously some maps' key points are heavily centered giving a big advantage to a team that can control it in the ea...

Zoanthropes

I think one of the big problems with Zoanthropes has always been the ridiculous amount of health regen they provide, especially when they start levelling up. However, last patch, instead of adressing this problem, the Warp Blast was tweaked and the unit cost increased. While I agree with the price i...

Re: Glaring Balance Issues that need addressing before DOW dies

Since rippers can be spawned by towers, they should just become a normal unit, their size should be increased so that infantry can hit them, their reiforce cost decreased to near 0 and their HP increased by a large margin and give them a sizeable power cost of like 50 power, basically make them a d...

Rippers are awesome. But I don't see them being used much, except when the odd Thornback poops them out T3. It seems to me like people forget they can spawn them from their towers, just like their opponents forget to take them down. Now I mostly play 3v3s, but Rippers just solve so many problems in ...

Re: Fire Dragon -- Move to T3

The problem with Fire Dragons is that they are able to outshoot anti-infantry squads while being one of the best AV units in the game. Eldar units should be highly specialized, not generalist brawlers.

Because the zoan was an all-in-1 package. Now it's been relegated to an artillery piece with some nice regen to support.

Well they didn't touch Tyrant Guards so I'm still fine. :p

I thought the complaint with Zoans was more their hp regen aura? Why wasn't that nerfed instead of the snare?
