yeh it took me a while to find , if you go online into the channels theres a link at the bottom that says "check stats" or something click on that it puts you to the main ladder page :)

its so hard to find an auto game when you have this score!!! :(

[TimmyNoShoes]

Heh i would have a hard tiem reaching 100th.
I betcha half of those guys have done the old play your mate on his new account to get the default wins tho :P

[PuReBall]

haha yeh i'm sure some of them have :D


the ammount of eldar i'm playing is really annoying!:(

[Anim]

Might give it a go myself (not #1 but top 100), can count at least 4 or 5 that ive already beaten in the top 50, not bothering with 50-100. Admittedly i mostly play 2v2s with a diff account though :/ 2v2 just seems more fun.

On the plus side, there's no bugs left for them to abuse. On the minus side, they still have warp spiders :D

[TimmyNoShoes]

You morons reallly wont be happy until eldar have no power at all will you?

[PuReBall]

morons? you try and beat eldar with ork and then come back and tell me eldar is balanced please :)


you get top 50 THEN talk about balance :)

[Bambers]

problem is balance between all 4 races, sure ork generally dies fast vs eldar but instead of just moaning try suggesting something that doesn't screw up the balance of every other match up, not too easy is it?


anyway, it seems all your hard effort has been wasted. The ladder just got the semi expected and much asked for post patch reset :p:

[PuReBall]

i'll get back to top 5 again then ;p its all practice for any tournaments in the uk ;).


the only thing that is wrong with eldar v ork is warp spiders are to good vs infintary, eldar doesent use warp spiders much v space marine so it wouldt make a difference.

so there you go :P

[Aardvark]

But if you tone down WS just a tiny bit too much, Eldar get swarmed in an early game Orc rush. Then its unbalanced again. I agree that overall WS are overpowered against Orcs, but then again Orcs are nigh on unstoppable in certain rushes against Marines...

[PuReBall]

not really , if this was true there would be more orks in the top ranks :)

theres only 3 orks including me top 20, i think that kinda says something, if you check the unit stats on the main page ork is 51% bottom and eldar is 58% top or something

[Aardvark]

The main problem with that rush is that when people see it coming, they immediately quit :/

Its not eldar thats imbalanced its the orks that are unbalanced.

[PuReBall]

just as i posted this the ladder has been reset^^

[Afty]

I feel that rather than Warp Spiders being overpowered in general, their effectiveness against Orc Infantry in particular is too good, because Relic chose to use a "Heavy Infantry, Light Infantry" classification scheme, instead of the more granular scheme in table top (toughness, armour saves etc.) which would have been fairly simple to translate over to the PC game.

As a counter, I feel that Orcs need some form of Research to improve armour on at least one of their early Squad Types.

[Aardvark]

Which in turn unbalances them against Marines. Oh dear :)

[Bonkers]

warp spiders also have the advantage of teleport which can save there asses if orcs rush them in CC

[Aardvark]

Once.

[Anim]

every few secs yeah. you cant pin WS down for long at all, the only way you can is if you surround them with a whole screen of orks :D bit much to ask early game though.

twice if you ran them into combat rather than teleported them in.

[Anim]

well, theory is that they would have been run into, so still twice. but yes, teleportorised.
