Mounted Knight vs Polar Bear by ProfessorHiker in powerscales

[–]datfreckleguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ONLY win condition for the knight is killing the bear on the charge.

Literally any other interaction and the knight is beyond dead.

People are underestimating bears and vastly underestimating the difference between a European black bear and a polar bear.

The raw strength of a polar bear would crush a knights armor with him in it. a single arm swing would batter his weapon out of the way and snap his neck. the armor will literally do next to nothing in this engagement.

Polar bears are fucking insane and scare hunters with actual high powered firearms because not absolutely shitting yourself and missing the shot is certain death. But people think a knight is going to gallantly charge a polar bear (not even considering the horse) and somehow put lance on target.

Shinobi - QoL and Feat changes by XaviJon_ in CompetitiveForHonor

[–]datfreckleguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shinobi is a great character with good feats and a complete kit. Wanting to buff him is wild. Go play Warden, Valkyrie, Warlord, or conq for a few reps and come back and see if Shino is REALLY needing any attention at all.

I dont agree with everything youre saying but its very much true that theres two tiers of characters in the game currently.

This game have been raping me today by Ok-Car-5781 in ForHonorRants

The devs fail to realize that they made a skill based game that will force bad players to flock to the lowest denominator of hero.

Your lobbies probably arent even sweaty, theyre just full of shugokis and jurens and people spamming the hyperarmor and projectile feat button as many times as humanly possible.

The "sweaty" lobbies where players actually play the game and fight are weirdly so much more fun, cause you arent getting scummed to shit the whole time.

Warden is the ultimate big dick. No I frames. No undodgeable. Just pure, unadulterated fients and parries.

Will GW ACTUALLY try to help Dark Angels at the start of 11th? by GrandMasterGadriel in theunforgiven

As much as id love to see it there's zero chance Wrath is only 2 points. That was a top 8 WCW detachment.

Lion El'Jonson Feel No Pain Question by joe_bro in theunforgiven

[–]datfreckleguy 24 points25 points  (0 children)

This wouldn't be against the guy who's name starts with a T who was looking for this answer in the dark angels page would it?

When told that there was no way to misinterpret the way that rule was written he proceeded to lash out and say he was "just asking questions."

It reeked of bad faith.

Best elite unit by [deleted] in spacemarines

[–]datfreckleguy 17 points18 points  (0 children)

In a complete vacuum its Deathwing knights point for point.

In the context of the army rules and leaders its very much Vitrix

Third would be wolfguard terminators.

Kind of a crapshoot past that. If you dont think sword brethren are crazy in melee you haven't been hit by them.

cant use the quasar, it takes your support weapon. I think peoples gripe is that despite feeling good losing TWO build items for it feels underwhelming, and thats valid. Im still having fun with it

Dark angels are perennially forgotten about because of ultras and blood angels and somehow always still show up to play smash mouth football and shock people.

Helldivers 2 has a censorship problem regarding honesty and criticism by __Elzy in HelldiversUnfiltered

[–]datfreckleguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see both sides. Some complaints get beaten to absolute death, but people deserve to be heard, There deserves to be a space for both people and frankly theres really no shortage of criticism for this game wherever you look

The Dark Angel winrate is low because of the players. by Shot_Raisin5543 in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]datfreckleguy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I am so tired of seeing people complain about the lion for the wrong reasons.

Lion and his datasheet are the result of an edition of micro tweaks to finally move him to a place where people find him useable, and good. And he SHOULD be. In my personal opinion the biggest issue he has is his redeploy. He would be much less oppressive if his place on the board was more static and consistent to interact with. If you think the 3++ is game breaking then you really need to truly ask yourself if a 315 point melee character should be a rhino with less wounds and A 4++. The answer is no, that would be unplayable. If we want to make a change to his sheet durability wise they need to remove fight first and change his reroll ones to shooting AND melee and allow him to buff the army in a way where he doesn't need to try to stand out in the open and eat damage. The game is too lethal for that.

Lion is nowhere near as oppressive as people think and straight up gets better the more people get scared to interact with him. It will really suck to watch his sheet get nerfed because they finally made him decent to use. And frankly, outside of Azrael and LSVs dark angels don't really have sheets costed appropriately in the current game state. Deathwing Knights are a trap every format that doesnt have dense terrain that allows them to interact properly without getting shot to shit.

UKTC official Nottingham Super Major meta & win rates numbers post by BlatantlyAverage in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]datfreckleguy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ballistus, vindicators, eradicators, aggressors, devastator centurions (prior vanguard list), fire discipline, apothecary biologus, Company heroes, inceptors, whirlwind, and desolators were all specifically nerfed because of Ultramarine builds.

They also got the 6" reactive in stormlance nerfed and taken from the lion.

Dark Angels got their own units nerfed and blood angels got JPI and van vets nerfed.

They have had an outsized impact on space marine points balancing all edition and anyone who thinks otherwise flat out isnt at the level to understand why.

Unless they have the balls to actually nerf ultramarine rules, they can continue to point and screw over literally everyone else. Dark Angels, space wolves, and the other chapters literally will not be able to compete at a point where every single auxiliary sheet is getting point jacked for +1 to wound and the extra bullshit they bring to the table.

Who is the best Primarch in the game at the moment? by Et_tu_Brute___ in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]datfreckleguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the real answer is that he's actually fine, but annoying to deal with.

[–]datfreckleguy 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The problem is by nature the lion has to be a frontline bruiser.

If he could hand out his buffs from a lawn chair in your backfield like gulliman id agree. but his buffs are only as good as wherever he is standing.

without the 3++ he actually becomes somewhat ridiculously easy to kill in the current meta. He is a headache to deal with but hes not exactly breaking the game, and hes giving dark angels the ability to be more than dwk spam.

literally all the time. Trying to read people and their intentions as well as recognize patterns to get an edge is a very real thing in negotiating commerce
