Which race has the worst Tier 3?

Postby Schepp himself » Fri 19 Jan, 2018 4:02 pm

I stumpled upon this post about Eldar Tier 3 and I got me thinking: How would you rate the different end games of the different races? Which race has a powerful Tier 3 worth fast teching to and which one is rather in the "nice to have" league?

Depends if it is a 1v1 or a team game.
Also Different Heros are a big factor in this.

You can't compare T3's like power levels. Also, Eldar T3 is not weak, just fragile.

You can get an idea from the faction win ratio: https://www.dawnofwar.info/esl/stats

SM sucks at the start and is good at the end. Chaos is good at all times ;)

Good thing we're nerfing Chaos eco :P

But to answer the OP, I don't really know. If you mean "worse" as in "least effective" then probably w/e has the lowest win ratios at the 20-30 min range.

If you ask me worst as in "most boring" then probably nids. Fex trains choo choo.

If you ask me worst as in "most incomplete" then probably OM. Ints need some specialization, probably into tank hunters. But OM T3 doesn't really have a crushing AV unit except for the do-it-all Ints atm. The t3 needs a bit more work.

OM t3 is just get 5 Interceptors win

Nids if you lose your whole amy then you can get fexs till then you have a hard time even getting 1

SM if you don't fuck up to early a pred or terms can help to win the game easily if you fuck up early you won't reach t3

Chaos t3 very good vs all long range firepower with good tank killer stuff but chaos should win in t2 so unless your Sorcerer but then no one plays Sorcerer so

Orks power comes from t3 and is the best in the game

Eldar t3 is not the best its there t2 that win them the game these days but there t3 goes none the less good long range units with seers

Ig has only one unit in t3 and it called the leman russ you get them and win so, baneblade to show off

Weakest I say it between sm and nids sm cos you have to reach t3 which you don't lot of the time and nids cos you have to give up a lot of your amy to get t3 units in the first place
Forums great more stuff to talk about.

I would say SM have the best T3 (at least for me). Orkz have great T3 but their tank isn't quite as menacing as Preds and Limoncellos. Webo + Nobz and possibly a painboy is scary af. Mandoes are also amazeballs and Battleswagon is a solod 5/7.

I just prefer SM playstyle. Lib + Terms and Pred and/or LRR

Chaos and IG have great T3s as well. Lemans/BB and plasma GM and plasma Kasrkin.

Chaos have autocannon/LC Terms, Pooboss/GUO, PM and leveled Letters/PM/TCSM

Nid T3 is kinda meh. Not a huge fan but as boss said. If you lose your T1 stuff, you can start the Fex train.

Eldar T3 is more on the squishy side but it is very solid.

Sure, but let's be serious: balance-wise every game should be geared towards 1v1 so I'm talking 1v1 here.

Thanks for your input so far!

I never really see much point in going T3 in 1v1s as chaos or LG in particular, while as INQ my main reason to go T3 is usually purgatus.

Depends on the game mode; depends on the MU.

I know many chaos players will skip T3 and go for infinite fucking dreadnoughts.
