Chaos easier than Tyranids?

[Naitmerr]

Am I the only one who feels that way? I just feel like their attacks are easier to dodge/parry and their Extremis enemies and Miniboss are easier (I hate Neurothrope).
Their riflemen don't shoot as much/aren't as accurate compared to the rifle bearing xenos. Their snipe can be annoying but it's relatively easy to dodge.
The only thing that is worse, is the shieldbearing goatmen mobs. They are WAY too tanky and don't stagger. I'm more cautious around a group of those than I am at an Extremis.

meh ENEMY IS ENEMY
they are all dead af to me

I can get salty when there are 10+ cultist snipers aiming at me, and I don't have time to take care of them because tzaangors are screaming at my face. It's definitely a faction where falling back and using cover are extremely important. Woe to the space marine who thinks they can just melee charge into the blender and come out unscathed.

I disagree. Chaos guardsmen snipers and the little minoris demons are enough to cement them as harder imo. At least with tyranids it doesn’t feel mandatory to have a melta because killing a major is or higher thins the herd so effectively. But killing a chaos major is or extremes does nothing to thin the hoard. As I have climbed the difficulty ranks, nothing has caused more squad wipes or near wipes than chaos minoris enemies. With randos anyway.

They are both easy but chaos melee minoris is more dangerous. Though melta don't care about that.

Tyranids is waaaaaaay easier imo. Those traitor guard with their lasguns set to hotshot are annoying and the demons blocking my attacks with shields are annoying too. Its funny, an enemy we can run into and they explode are also very dangerous (which is a nice touch)

There are less venom canon tyranids than there are hotshot lasgun traitor guardsman tho.

Perhaps I have a special kind of luck...no, scratch that, I think there is an actual explanation to be found here. From what I gather, most players (good and bad, but I think the bad ones mostly) avoid the Heretics fights, so only the good players have the courage to challenge the powers of Chaos. I now realize that when fighting the Xenos, my teammates are mostly bad and they're dragging the team down, but on Chaos maps, the opposite is more likely to happen.

In my opinion, no way ...

But maybe if you give it a real chance, one may develop some tactics that makes it really easier in the end, i cant say. Because i havent played against chaos that much (i hate it) xD

Chaos just feels way too bullet spongy on Ruthless.

Killing Dust Marines on Ruthless feels like hitting a crab shell and trying to bust it open.

[Naitmerr]

Everything is too spongy on Ruthless, but Tyranids (the melee elites) swarm me so hard, they rollcatch me when I dodge way too often and they stunlock me. Chaos enemies don't do that, at least not nearly as often.
The problem with Chaos is the maps themselves. Reliquary (Helldrake map) is the toughest of them all IMO and Fall of Atreus feels tedious. Vox Liberatis is my favourite (easiest for me) and Decapitation is nice because there is an actual bossbattle.

Tyranid's minoris is 1 shot to the head. A shield Chaos minoris takes 4 shots. This alone tells you all you need to know.

[John Grimdark]

Absolutely disagree. The chaos marines beat me to a pulp, and the minor enemies are way more annoying than for the Tyranids.

[valium]

Chaos spams you with those perfect aim lasgunners and demons with shields apparently made of vibranium.

When I was going through all the maps with Vanguard, they were about on par, Vanguard can close the distance safely and easily and stunlock everything. The rest of the classes I noticed the difference.

[iShot]

Chaos are busted imo.. Minoris are too tanky, Rubrics are sponges that teleport way too often.. Hellbrute is fun and well balanced though

[Naitmerr]

I mainly play Tactical with Laser Rifle and Melta, since I started doing this, things don't feel that tanky anymore, with bolters it was hell.
