    Hey did you hear that pathfinders won a major tournament? In 2020? And did you hear that competitive players never switch teams, they just change the team name every quarter and keep playing with intercession. There are no chaos cults, it’s just an intercession team named “fellgore ravagers”

    • @GlassHalfDead
      @GlassHalfDead  Před rokem +4

      It won't be for at least 6 months now as they'll have to wait for stats from this change to roll in. Problem is it's a highly ignored team and the buffs weren't enough to draw new eyes to them 🤷‍♂️

  • @andeejaym
    @andeejaym Před rokem +3

    Yeah man although the Warpcoven bump was welcome they’re probably gunna need another one to somehow make it to B Tier.
    Remove the movement restrictions on Rubrics, and give away a ploy or two for zero CP like Exalted Astartes or Mutant Herd.
    Giving away a ploy or two for free would make the team less CP hungry and just give them abilities more modern teams get out of the box as free abilities.

    I like that Hearthkyn buff. I have no idea why they went with 7W and a 3+ save. Most of the other profiles in KT have some kind of relation to their 40k statline except for Hearthkyn.

    • @GlassHalfDead
      @GlassHalfDead  Před rokem +3

      It HAS to be for mechanical balance that just so happens to be incorrect. I struggle to imagine the hearthkyn began life at 7 wounds!

    Wyrmblade player here, and I plan to main them through the end of the edition. Allowing “Writhing Ingress” to work on ITD would have too many knock-on effects for teams with similar abilities, but maybe a strat ploy that lets friendly models move and charge through each other would be interesting.

    The biggest buff to warp coven would be to give them free choice of tac ops archetypes. 3-1-4 or 3-2-2 with recon would be so solid. This would fix their biggest problem (secondary scoring being forced into security). The rubric buffs were a nice start but they still dont quite help 100% with their scoring

    • @GlassHalfDead
      @GlassHalfDead  Před rokem +1

      Yes that's true, giving them access to s&d would also make the team a bit easier to play which couldn't hurt

  • @DMDoherty1
    @DMDoherty1 Před rokem +2

    I think Chaos Cult could be balanced by changing the Mutation healing from 1d3+1 to 2d3. Then instead of getting full health when a Devotee > Mutant or Mutant > Torment they automatically regain those 2d3 Wounds as part of the mutation.
    You could also stagger the number of free mutations by 1 Turning Point.
    You could also change the Wounds to be Devotee 6, Mutant 8, Torment 10.
    There are a lot of possible solutions.

    • @GlassHalfDead

    I wonder if you could balance Chaos Cults by limiting the number or mutants and torments they can have during the game? For example, no more than 3 torments or 5 mutants total, or some such restiction. The team still has its flavor but now "upgraded" operatives are a finite resource that cant be used recklessly.

    I like your proposed change to FelGors (don't have any input on other teams other than it sound reasonable), but don't you think saying "Frenzy cam only be activated if you performed a fight action during your last activation" would be a clearer and more effective phrasing ?

    Wyrmblade can be improved by making Infiltration tacos easier to score. They are currently the only bespoke team that has to use Infiltration tacos (because they are not suited for S&D)

    • @GlassHalfDead

    I would love to see some anti-elite tools for Warp Coven, especially when there's so many Intercessor players around. It doesn't have to be plasma or melta, but at least some shooting spell, which could be equivalent for them. BTW, when you look into stats, warp coven offensive spells are so disappointing. Yeah, Firestorm has indirect, but with one inch blast and 2/2 dmg. It' literally nothing, even against hordes.. . Also, spells like warp portal would need some buffs, to be less niche - maybe removing no movement restriction after teleportation? Idk, but i hope GW will finally see there are actually a lot of Warp Coven enthusiast waiting for any changes.

    Andy, I really don't like this strategy of clickbait video titles. I recognise this is a thing you have been escalating slowly, but you are now titling videos with actual lies. Please don't do this; your content is good and high quality and doesn't need this kind of thing to attract views.

    • @GlassHalfDead
      @GlassHalfDead  Před rokem +3

      So, clickbait is mandatory on CZcams and unfortunately that's a "don't hate the player, hate the game" situation.
      However, if you can't see the legitimate concept proving nature of me titling a video this way, then I don't know what to tell you. This isn't clickbait, it's a lie. A lie done to prove the concept of how one can instinctively decide which teams are under powered when considering the balance of the game going forward
