Why is there barely any Ogryn players?

[Jesus]

Hi, I was just wondering why I dont see any ogryn players. Is ogryn a bad character or is there any other reason why he is not being played so much?

because 40k nerds want to cosplay as veterans and cant melee their way out of a wet paper bag.

Ay yo that's absolutely crazy.

"WAAAAAH, THESE COMPLETE RANDOMS AREN'T PLAYING LIKE HOW I WANNA PLAY. WHY DON'T THEY BEND TO MY WILL? I'M GOING TO EXPLAIN MY OPINION BY REFERENCING A DIFFERENT GAME AND BEING UPSET THEIR GAMEPLAY ISN'T EXACTLY THE SAME"

You are literally what is wrong with this game. Like I get being upset with a team mate, but if you "can't look forward" to an actual fun and proper game because someone isn't playing like how you want or expect that just makes you an entitled brat. Like, what does linking your other discussion even provide? It's just a baseless rant. If you feel like you're losing a lotta damnation runs, remember it's a team game and you're dropping the ball too lol

Because FatShark altered the queue so you have 50% more chance to meet other ogryns as an ogryn (hence making other ppl find them less).

Ogryns are actually so strong they mostly live in auric because regular difficulties are not enough for them.

I like Ogryn, but it can feel pretty stale to play after a while. There are only 5 truly different melee and ranged weapons, mk variations are pretty whatever for me. Most people settle on the meta ones anyway. (Stubber IV for example, in regards to mks). Low amount of blessings for weapons too.

I just think he suffers from lack of build diversity.

I was going to say, I see tons of Ogryn whenever I queue as an Ogryn. A lot of times I end up in a team of nothing but Ogryns. But then when I'm not an Ogryn, I rarely get matched with one.

It's not an interesting class to a lot of people because most of the combat is heavy attacks on repeat.

Wait, that can't be true? Can it?

Boring melee weapons.

I feel like this is the real reason.

The Ogryn's weapons are just not fun to use.

I like the shield - but the shield kind of sucks, but the other weapons just feel SUPER AWKWARD to use.

Yea basically, its my least played class for that exact reason. Lack of variety in play options.

Ogryns cause most of the time a big problem. When you want to shoot something a big brick wall goes in front of you, and you cannot kill that baddie... That's why i dislike having an Ogryn in the party.

Too few people in the world with the Sigma Ogryn Grindset.

I luv playin’ as Ogryns, throwin’ muh brick at badduns is vury satisfyin’.

Plus, it’s nice to be able to play as a character dat’s actually less smort den meh, doesn’t make meh feel as inferior dat way.

Ogryn is my most played class.

Don't blame Ogryn for your poor weapon choices

He's going to be mine soon.

I switched over to Ogryn from playing Psyker and Veteran, and honestly I've not looked back.

The game is so much more fun (for me personally) playing as my Ogryn.
