Dawn of War Codex

because nobody seems to want to count, or cares to recognize the truth here are in the numbers, which show the dispaities amongst the builds and why some factions are "over-performing" as if its like somehow takes a genius to see why. there are 2000+ hp health disparities in T1 after reasonable purchases and upgrades! with when you begin taking account upgrades for orks and eldar... of course they are both doing bad...and thats not taking into account sustainability aspects of having last model dieing properties across all factions. Not taking account the similarities of model numbers dealing out damage, fragility, speed across the faction, dont have dreads which come out with another 1200 hp which is more health than any counter they could muster actually has to reasonbly deal with it.

The game has moved from skill plays to who can muster more numbers with health disparities to break the game before the other player can respond because it takes next tier to reach still not even somewhat close to relatively balanced health..

Simply put we fix it, or the game is going to become rendered almost unplayable for these 2 factions.

This is such a reductive analysis. What about dps? Does that count for nothing?

"Ranged Damage Comparisons"

(because that is the problem)
------------------------------------
Conclusion
-------------
So here are the calculations disclduing commanders and suppression teams. I.E. no orks and eldar do not have the most dps from their squads any more and they have the lowest health amongst the factions as well...

this is not even taking into account armor values which allow for further mitigation damage, and green cover.

Or speed. Or firing rate. Or internal race mechanics like SM kb spam. IG taking damage for no bleed on sentinel and having huge dps bleed from lost models on cata/GM. etc etc etc

Fathom outside of your logic making no sense it doesn't even make sense within your logic..like catas have 4 models that shoot not 6.
Get your facts straight before doing posts like this it only makes you look bad

I mean I don't know what more to say other than, that if you have greater speed, then you can keep up with a fleeing opponent to still bleed them deespite kiting, with SM KB spam, there is lke a 1.5 s where the opponent is not doing damage because they are knock backed and suppressed so the damage falls off drastically,

As far as fire rate is concerned im not a game engineer, I dont know how to create a program that would allow to me assess those timely burst.

and bleed ffrom catas? what bleed and what damage loss? because its news to me that they even bleed damage given how long it takes to cut down one model at all. and its not like it matters when the burst they have especially when executed superceeds anything the other opposing unit can muster to imagine.

[/quote] At this point, I'm jus not responding to your obvious gaslighting post. it's as if you have no interpreting cognition cabilities as a human being, which obviously you do. though I must admit, that 4 catas shooting instead of 6 will be fixed.

Y'all should google what gaslighting actually means.
Just because I am saying that your way on going at this makes no sense doesn't mean it's gaslighting.

Did you just give the Orks and Eldar their teleporting heroes (with less health than melee-heroes) and then building an argument around that? I question the basis of the thesis.

I'm all up for number's crunching, though.

Tbh, I was just using them as samples given those are 2 commanders I have been playing with as of late, but the situation holds truer for them than melee heroes given their reanged damage is so low in relations to what melee heroes can do so consistently with their upgrades and abilities. notably in the case of orks and eldar warboss with bang bang hammer for t1 and the warlock with the merciless witchblade, they consistently come with enough damage to gibb a meq model within a few hits, the ranged commanders take a long time to do so and is why imo... there is also a disparity between these comander types given their damage isn't suitable enough for the match ups theyd even be useful in because they lack the ranged damage to bleed meq models. they are definitely fine on anything else.

i agree its the health of nids and ig that make it impossible for eldar to counter

I think it's about time that we make all shoota boyz die-last models.

We need to balance the game more around the lore. 3 Tactical Marines should be able to take out at least 1k Sluggas. Don't forget to increase their health regen to 30 a second.

In fact, we should really start with range. Why can tacs only shoot their rifles at 38 yards? It should be at least 500

and warriors and banshees are not KB spam?
