Ogres vs Halfings

[Gentoo]

Both are designed to be joke/weak teams, but which is stronger than the other? Ogres vs Halflings. Who do you place your money on?

ogres have more hitting power as in MB as long as they do stuff, halflings are stronger than the gnobs and not as good as dodging halflings are slightly better unless you really know how to play ogres and use them to your advantage

Trying both, so far my challenge with the Ogres is the boneheads and the gnobs getting obliterated every game, and my challenge with the Halflings is getting them to pick up the ball. I seem to be doing better with the halflings as I'm able to work some strategy to account for take roots and I can make amazing use of inducements, keeping my TV floored.

As the teams level up I think the halflings are going to lose some ground to the Ogres, since my halflings I am purposefully avoiding putting skills on them unless I get doubles/stats. And the treemen can't really pick up the ball, so I can't level them by running them into for touchdowns (they can hardly move anyway) and have to rely on them skilling up by injuring the opponents.

Ogres may have a similar issue with running the ball though I suppose, so may level up slow too, and gnobs don't live long enough to level up. So a wash as they level?

I would say ogres probably win when they match off against eachother simply because you can just base all of the halflings with ogres and there is not much they can do about it, in terms of other matchups i would give it to halflings, they keep their tv low so can get juicy inducements that can turn the tide, ogres on the other hand are so expensive that they give away wizards to the opponent which usually doesnt end well new edition of blood bowl does solve this problem for the most part by giving the gnoblars expendible so they dont cost any team value!

Halflings. If you know what you are doing you do are going to win games.

With Ogres now? You better be darn lucky.

Halflings, because historical data shows that Halfling have a roughly 57% win rate against Ogres teams.

Halflings are stronger.
Ogres are the worst team in the game.

[Ozymandias]

Halflings take all the ogre rerolls. Halflings win.

Flings.
Ogres tend to Bloat. Flings do not. Meaning, when you have enough TV difference, you can literally outstrength Ogre team with 2 Trees, Deeproot and Morg against developed Ogre team. Even with 6 ST5, it's very hard to deal with 3 ST6 and 1 ST7. Add on top Master Chef and the matchup is hilariously frustrating for Ogres, especially considering that Snots are worse than Flings.

I would say Halflings are better in the sense that diarrhea is better than vomiting.

You haven't been pitch-cleared by Flings then yet, I assume? :D
