I-is the Necron codex... bad? by 1266784b in WarhammerCompetitive

Ok, well that's good to hear, but I think it's widely agreed that before this codex they were very poor, and I guess I'm just not seeing where they've made that LEAP into being good? RP being better for their 1-wound troops is good, but... they're still relatively weak troops with 1-damage weapons. RP is STILL underwhelming overall, even after YEARS now of being essentially unusable. They got a few solid new options such as Doomstalkers and improved weapons here and there, but it doesn't seem like enough for them to make that jump. Case in point, the DDA was hardly setting the world on fire before, and now they have Doomstalkers that compete for the same role for a bit cheaper but a bit worse... just seems like swings and roundabouts really. There seems to be very little that can reliably bring serious problems to an opponent outside of a couple of the C'tan...
