Lets vote and see which faction is the weakest (i.e. doing the poorest in the game currently, etc. etc.)

You should make a poll instead. Leaving Mercs and Minions out shouldn't be an option, they are both viable choices and Mercs are far from the weakest faction right now.

The factions I play are weak and need a buff. The factions my opponents play are strong and need a nerf. (Not really )

I think the bottom in hordes is trolls and bottom in Warmachine is protectorate.

WHO voted Cygnar!? I want a shot of whatever you are drinking.
Also. Who sees Legion in their meta? I can reliably compete and win with Legion... but by all the numbers/rule I feel Legion is a mile behind most.
Now, I'm also buying Protectorate right now and I feel Protectorate is way more powerful than Legion. Yet it's also getting ranked as the lowest on the poll.
After having both Cryx and Khador for months. They are both quite powerful, just not interesting to me.

Good choice with the Faithful. Welcome brother, Deus Vult. Trollbloods are pretty obviously the worst faction right now. They have an awful amputated of faction bloat and are outclassed by a lot of the boogeyman floating around

Trollbloods really feel this way even after CID?
I'm either very bad or the trollbloods player at my store is very good. He's been a pretty big struggle for me. Those battle engines and colossals hurt!

I put Trollbloods at the bottom simply because they don't have their Fyanna 2 Oracles of Annihilation/Deneghra 1 Ghost Fleet/Destruction Initiative list yet. Without themes Trolls would not be at the bottom.

Random points, observations and opinions about poll results.
Trollbloods haven't been updated yet.
This forum seems to have a big trollblood following.
I'm not a particularly good player, but my trollbloods almost always put up a good fight.
After a year it seems the inter-faction power spread is much tighter, and, constant updates doesn't let the meta stabalise as much as in Mk2, meaning, different regions, even down to neighboring stores, seem to have real diversity.

Legion has won almost every tourney in my region for months now. They are not weak. Oracles is overpowered, yes, Kallus in Children of the Dragon is actually not bad.
Trolls have been underperforming in major tourneys by quite a wide margin for almost the entirety of MK 3. We have several severe problems and only one viable theme. I think that the changes made in CID will help a lot when we finally see them, but I'm not sure that will be enough. Storm of the North comes out in November, though, and it does look very good. We should be in a much better place by then.
The only other contender for weakest faction is Minions, and there it is always hard to say, for all the usual reasons. Protectorate has performed well enough, I think they just lost a lot of players because they felt like the faction lost too much fluff.
