Khorne will probably be the team with the most deaths because of how AV 7 they are and how bashy they are.

Necro is a good team, anytime I play bloodbowl and it spins up necro I'm always happy I didn't any of the four bullshit teams everyone plays.

Khemri rules, by far the best tier two team.

If orcs are a legitimate team than so are dwarves. Literally any complaint you level at dwarves transfers directly to orcs.

Night10194 posted:I think the thing is the dwarf player also doesn't really have any option but to be boring. Both teams can be played boring, but you could go fun places with orcs if you wanted. Dwarfs? Not so much. Oh yea, orcs can do fun stuff, like actually using the thrower to throw and throw team mate. but people who play orcs almost literally never do that. Dwarves can create a team that has dump off/pass/nerves runners but you see that about as often as you see an orc team that actually passes.

Why pass over HMP pass on the bombardier? I really hate playing undead teams with goblins because of the regen, it makes it really hard to get the man advantage you need when even the lovely players come back every drive.

Veloxyll posted:I think he paid off regardless. He is bomberman, king of KOs. Yea he did better than any of my bombers ever really have. Pass and HMP are both really good doubles to get on the bomberman, I can see why pass would be better but 2+ constant barrage of bombs sounds more reliable than just the reroll. Guess with the pass reroll he never takes rerolls for fumbling or whatever.

Pass for your double, then get strong arm and sure hands and you have a pretty good thrower. If anyone else wants to actually have fun with this team we need to all make sure vote for the same skill to beat the wave of boring people voting for dodge.

In exchange for letting the werewolves get traditional hitting skills I have to try to make some other part of the team less optimal/more fun and on this team the easiest players to mess with are the wights, especially when the first skill up is a double.

Don't forget strong arm, the strong man's accurate.

Yea sure hands is probably the best way to get the guy with pass to actually handle the ball, but strong arm would be my next choice after that.

Your team will probably be ready sooner than you think, bloodbowl teams can level pretty fast if you don't get unlucky casualties.

The reason I went for the pass play on my drive was because I didn't see myself being able to push through two flesh golems and a bunch of zombies. Also I didn't want to be boring with my dwarf team.

I think the only problem with dwarves is the huge amount of tackle on the team from T.V. 1000. Like they said in the video move tackle to the blitzers and the team would be a lot better balanced. Maybe increase some player or reroll costs too. I really don't understand why people are so upset about dwarves and then turn around and go "but orks are cool." The two teams literally play the exact same way almost every game.

Save for the big guy complaint (deathroller is garbage) I could quote your complaints and swap out dwarf for ork and it would make sense. Fake edit; the reason I defend dwarves so much is because I really don't see them being any different than orks and I really like dwarves in this game thematically. Troll slayers are probably my favorite positional in the game.

Agent355 posted:1000 tv dwarves are exactly what 1300 tv orcs are (if the orcs are being boring and doing nothing but block tackle guard). 1100 tv dwarves are 1500 tv orcs. Maybe if all you are looking at is skills, stat wise orks are way better off.

Agent355 posted:Dwarves are bullshit and completely unfun at the tv most people play at, while orcs are not. I disagree, not so much with the dwarves are bullshit part, but with the orks aren't bullshit part. I don't disagree with someone saying dwarves aren't fun to play against because the people who coach dwarves always play them the same way every game and that is to cage as hard as possible and grind out a slow win. However the people who coach orks always play them the same way every game and cage as hard as possible and grind out a slow win too. Also orks and dwarves become fun to play against at the exact same time and that is when my mutation team finally gets claw and mighty blow on a couple of players and not a second sooner.

/\/\/\I did get really lucky this game, but don't pretend that if I was playing literally any other team you would feel the need to point that out in the thread. I think dwarves and orks are closer than you guys are insisting they are. Imagine making a T.V. 1000 team and you spin and get dwarves. By the end of the game your team is going to be beat up and it was a slog to get through. Now imagine you got orks. your team is beat up and it was a slog to get through. I think most of my annoyance at all the dwarf hate is the amount of complaining that happens when dwarf is mentioned and the almost no complaints made when orks are. I could have a standard t.v. 1500 ork team with block and guard everywhere and nobody would say anything. I play a 1500 dwarf team with some guard and stuff but goofy poo poo too, like the dump off/pass runners. People would be rushing to be the first to complain. Dwarves may be the worst most boring team to play as or against in bloodbowl, but orks play about 95% the same as dwarves do and nobody ever says anything about it. I'm not trying to stop anyone from hating dwarves, I'm just trying to get people to hate orks too. Basically; quote:I'm just racist against orks.

Two minute turns are my favorite. I can usually hammer out a turn in about a minute and a half if I know my team well enough. I also prefer that my games take 45 minutes instead of like two hours.

FoolyCharged posted:It just amazes me that in all of the new versions of the game cyanide sold, not one of the devs ever decided that spaces needing die rolls to reach should be visually flagged just like gfi's are when moving. It's not exactly the worlds most intensive game, so it's not like a less efficient path finding algorithm(probably necessary to decide which squares to color red or what have you) would kill them anyways. well Cyanide is literally like three people so I can understand them not changing a whole lot from version to version.

Get Guard because it is pretty much way more useful than mighty blow is. It will be way more useful in your next game and with only four players with natural strength access you want to get guard as much as possible. You are supposed to blitz with the werewolf anyway and guard will help you do that.

Mighty Dicktron posted:I don't think anyone who plays Dwarfs has any right to complain about other bashy teams The reason I don't like undead is that they are basically humans but better. They can pretty much do anything any other team can do all at the same time except pass but passing is for elves, desperation, and BBLPs. Skeletons are awesome. They are key part of my actual favorite team, Khemri.

Keep Him. Let his skills be useful and let him die on the pitch (again). By the time he dies maybe the rest of the team will be good and we can feed his replacement some TDs.

When you don't have kick you pretty much just have to kick to the middle of the opponents half in order to make sure that they don't get a touchback. But when you have kick and you are up against like dwarves or khemri you can kick the ball to the back of the pitch and separate runners from blockers/Tomb guardians which is a massive advantage. Or if you are up against like elves you can kick short and force them to either make a few rolls to put the ball in a safe spot or force them to commit to a punching fight they can't win. Or hope for a blitz and just catch it. That being said I usually don't take kick on my teams because most of my favorite teams are slow so kick isn't as useful. Edit; Victor Vermis probably knows all this already but I wanted to make a post about it anyway.
