Sigh. I had said I wasn't going to bother, but really now. This is just getting silly. For clarity sake, I edited my previous post to make my intention clearer, but seeing as I'm responding to you now I'm breaking that rule anyway so it doesn't really matter.

You asked for numbers. I gave you numbers. Lo and behold, 500 hp (falcon) < 550 (wartrukk) and 600 (razorback) and = 500 (chimera) Apparently, you seem to dispute this. I do not include the numerous and varied means of support since this is meant to be a look at individual durability (which will be explained more in a second) and because we'd be here forever arguing back and forth about all the different abilities that all factions have to support their respective vehicles. By all means Riku, please enlighten me as to how I'm reading these numbers wrong. Oh, and before you do, since you seem to have a hard time understanding what I'm writing...
Durability - du·ra·bil·i·ty - noun - the ability to withstand wear, pressure, or damage.
If you want to dispute that, feel free to go argue with a dictionary, because I'm really not in the mood.
Note, durability =/= survivability. Those are two very different ideas. Durability refers to how much damage something can take before it is destroyed. Survivability refers to how difficult it is to kill something, of which durability is only one particular aspect. My argument was centered on the fact that the Falcon lacked durability, not that it was easy to kill. Still, feel free to bring up these numbers that I'm apparently reading so terribly wrong. I would like to see the hidden code that apparently pushes the Falcon beyond 500 hp in T2 (and no, saying that the other transports have less hp without their respective upgrades doesn't count given they still cost less with them and are in T2 where this entire debate was centered).

Eldar do lack staying power Riku. That is literally the point of their faction. The fact that they are faster, deal more damage on average, have more high-impact activated abilities, and do not have the same ability to last in a prolonged stand up fight is the very foundation they are built upon. I will say, yet again, that I am not pointing to this lack of staying power and demanding it be changed. Quite the opposite. I'm saying it's a good thing, as it gives their faction a unique and interesting play-style that I personally really enjoy. I. Am. Not. Asking. For. Buffs. Please try to understand that, as I'm very tired of writing it out.

Reading comprehension man. If you'd looked at what I wrote instead of jumping to conclusions, you'd know I wasn't debating the official changes at all (in fact, I support them for the most part). I was debating people who were suggesting much larger nerfs, as stated in the post above this one.
