Re: Orc's Power Rankings
Nope. It's extremely strong in heroes only when the format allows it. The Gencon formats have not allowed it, but the recent Online Con did, and the two finalists (myself and Vegies dad) were the two people who ran firestorm. I burninated some Hydras on the way.
The best firestorm counter in heroes only is probably something like Ornak/Brunak/Shurrak/Krug/Marcu, plus Raelin and whatever else fits. I talked Dysole into playing something like that, but she ended up hedging against other matchups a bit by dropping Shurrak for Zetacron and a Mindflayer. She very nearly beat Vegiedad's firestorm; could have gone either way. |

Re: Orc's Power Rankings
Dwarves don’t typically care about hydras either.

Re: Orc's Power Rankings
Looking more at Orc's rankings, he's got Kaemon and Q10 both at A-, which kind of answers my next question for units in that general point range.
But they can probably say the same thing for Major Q9, right? And with the exception of your rankings where he's a B+, Major Q9 has been one of the unquestioned A+ units basically since the Power Rankings existed. (For posterity's sake, I think there were originally 4- 4th Mass, Raelin, Q9, Deathreavers). |

Also, Q9 just has a much better matchup than Hydra against several of the other A armies (4th & 10th come to mind). |

Re: Orc's Power Rankings
Are the unit descriptions in the first post going to be updated with the units beginning with 'C' and so on? The current descriptions have been really useful/interesting for someone who's only really played this game casually up until now. I realise that Casters of Valhalla exists and kind of fulfils this purpose already, but the episodes out so far only cover up to the B+ units and it would be really interesting to see some commentary on the B rank and lower units.

Re: Orc's Power Rankings
A few updates:
1. I'll hopefully get the rest of the descriptions up this summer. 2. A request for someone with the means and the time: I would really like to have Jexik's "What's in an OM?" color scheme in my rankings. I will (hopefully) do it this summer. However, if someone with access to the first post (admin/mod/whoever) is so inclined to take care of it before I can, I would be very grateful. Casters of Valhalla: THE Competitive HeroScape Podcast!

Re: Orc's Power Rankings
I'm legitimately looking for feedback on these rankings. You probably won't change my mind from A-/B+ and up (but you're certainly welcome to try!). I'm primarily interested in hearing thoughts about the more middling and poor units.
