Nightbringer why it had to be touched? You just made Necron weaker

I compared the battle between the Corps and the Imperial Guard vs Necrons.Necrons Infatry was completely destroyed me helped only destroyers but in the fine amount against several squads Special Weapon team Or Kasarkings does not work they need to increase the damage and health and almost all of the infantry both

Where Balance ?! Even at full pumping Necron they still ineffective against Kasarking and about Space Marines, I do not say anything because there from the ordinary to the veterans, even with multi, melta gun and do not survive!

Ps.The battle took place when almost all of the improvements was for each party

Edited by: ZSHADOWWOLF

'Kabal Fortress Piercing Vision soul ability sight radius modifier increased. Soul cost decreased' - yay!
'Fire Dragons are no longer OP (damage nerf against infantry, titan, and aircraft armor)' - Boo

Also, just wondering what the actual effective range of Piercing Vision is now?

I'm not sure if this is so much of a tech issue or the recent patch change but I have played a fair few matches vs the ai Space Marines and if I rush early on, the ai seems to build an incredible amount of servitors and nothing else. Only on smaller maps this seems to happen though. I play on hard or harder.
