THEY NERFED GORS lol

[Evil Panda]

you know the king of underpowered infantry units? the least effective infantry for its cost that is beaten by units 100 gold cheaper? yeah, they nerfed them increasing their cost by 50 points with 0(zero) buff for the unit....

it's honestly a bit insulting when it's pretty much clear to whoever has a shred of competitivity left for this game to see unit that are trash being nerfed while other units are bonkers OP and remains untouched or even improved

seriously what's the reasoning behing this?

[Isaac]

where have you seen this?

Last video of book of grudges on YouTube. Gor Herd are now 700 points, and their stats are the same in every aspect... Considering they were already weak at 650, this seem unfair to the unit 🤣

110% This. They stupidly "BaLAnCe" this games units around like 5 pvp steamers. That's it. When one loses and shrieks and screams, they nerf to hell whatever beat him regardless.

I am certain no one ever on this planet lost to gors, as they are (well, were) factually 100 points overpriced at least meaning they lost engangements with much cheaper units of the same tier and class.

Now even worse with 50 points more. Like seriously they have Savage orc stats but cost much more and do not even have waagh lol

Why would you ever train anithing but Pestigors anyway? So instead of buffing them to give them a niche and make a unit useful, they nerfed them to secure they disappear lol

i would imagine all the 7 people and 3 streamers who happen to play multiplayer, sometimes, will be sad.

And then they will just keep playing most broken builds regardless.

Also i am not trying to be toxic here, i totally am with you. I think CA has no idea how to balance multiplayer.

man you feel insulted, you made of paper?

Because every company wants an e-sports division so they can sell overpriced tickets and merch

Thing is if every company had success making e sports games it'd oversaturate their viewing market. Some games (few) literally have multiple month long tournaments. How do you stay on top of that as a viewer? You don't.

They have to try to maintain it with horrible balancing to keep it's "esports" appeal in the hopes it'll grow one day

But realistically Total War is niche ATM and that's not going to happen

Hard to see any reason right now, although they do get pestigors and tzaangors now. Who knows, might be incentive to use the new units to get better feedback on them from the unpaid interns/youtubers.

We might get a better idea what's going on once we can see the other changes to beastmen.

Really? They are balancing 24 wildly asynchronous factions to within +/-15% win percentages in MP, when most devs find it hard to balance 3 factions. That deserves some credit.

Campaign isn't balanced at all, but then, it's kind of obvious it's neither supposed to nor needs be balanced.

They're literally not the best gors

[Formous]

I wanna point out something critical here. Mega recruitment for free. Losses mean very little to Beastmen.

Yeah even the AI recuits minotaurs and other units over Gor's lol. That said I would love to know who in the name of tzeentch unironically used a Gor doom stack long enough to make CA decide they need to nerf Gor's, it's not like the devs play so they would have to have watched a live streamer or youtuber running a Gor doom stack in campaign or have stats from a player who actually plays multiplayer using the beastmen and managed to bully what I can only assume to have been a skaven slave doom stack player with their Gor doom stack for dozens of matches to get CA's attention.
