Bias creeping up in CID

Haha! I can't speak for others, I don't face enough Cygnar to have an opinion (here - it is a sea of Khador and Grymkin). Is it a problem - maybe. I don't think that focusing on e-Leaps in the Legion PT CID helps anything though.

I do think the core that Legion needs answers against gun-lists though (in my case, AoEs and sprays).

The intent of my post wasn't to call anyone out - more venting. I just want legion (hell, most of hordes) to be raised up enough that us simple players have a chance.

I have a different name on the CID Forums...

It would be great if people got banned for multiple bloody stupid suggestions. One guy said Thags2 feat should be 'all beasts immediately charge.'
Actually it would be nice if there was a screening process in signing up...

Don't stress it, there are people on both sides. Balance is difficult, and devs are aware that people have opinions. It is not like PP is going to count the number of people with a specific opinion and balance on that, previous CID cycles have made that abundantly clear. That being said, just because you have a matchup that is difficult doesn't mean that a specific model/rule should be added to fix that, I think sometimes we (the legion community) need to work more on coming up with our own solutions instead of relying on the devs to provide one.

I think it is most worthwhile to post battle reports and specific examples of interactions you have run into and try your best not to worry about what can seem like a cacophony of people who you disagree with.

To be fair, this has been an issue in almost every single CiD.

Everyone wears tinted glasses, regardless of whether they notice it or not. Things like the CiD bring that out. We all have inherent Biases that cause us to draw certain conclusions.

EG: I am of the opinion that chosen were above the curve before the arm nerf, mostly because of my experience with long riders and comparing the 2. I am also more prone to not like things like the BB animus, because auto-hitting sprays hurt circle a lot.

Now to clarify I think the arm 16 change on chosen was a bit...heavy-handed but I have not had any time to test them and I really think they are getting enough attention. I also think the new BB animus, while powerful, is not broken in any way.

People tend to think I pick on certain factions, I got called out on one particular battle report post in cryx CiD a lot and when you start messing with someone else toy soldiers things can appear to get personal. The key here, is to try your personal best to keep an open mind. The devs play the game too, and they have done a decent job in the past CiD's of keeping things from going too crazy in one direction or another.

I understand the frustration though, I had similar frustration during the troll-bloods CiD.

I think most people don't approach CID in the best way sometimes. The goal should be to have things be powerful, but not gamebreaking, when it feels like people sometimes are trying to steer models towards being more mediocre.

Sure one could argue that aiming to make things powerful ultimately leads to power creep, but on the flipside if everythings power level is very consistently middle-of-the-road it creates a lot of models who don't have much of a purpose on the table. If new releases don't bring anything worthwhile to the table, its not just an issue for PP's marketing department- its an issue for us as well, as the game inevitably gets stale.
