I was actually unaware that this was the case in DC and turned it on only when I needed to move.
or you could sign up to seek terrible vengeance for past transgressions
that's what the Prophet (pbuh) did when he returned to Mecca you know
But are you gonna cast the matches at least
hope you guys have started setting up practice matches or you are going to have a very bad time

How hard is this game to excel at for an overall RTS vet? My assumption is that it's an easy game mechanically and economically, so a lot of emphasis would be on learning how various rps unit interactions in the different matchups. Is this accurate or totally off base?
My practise will be the playoffs, as will be my cooldown, I am a family man now. If you thought my last seasons' performance was abyssmal, wait until you witness 2022 Snorkack playing!hope you guys have started setting up practice matches or you are going to have a very bad time

Not too bad, and honestly most of the people here aren't that good, so you will fit right in even if you don't *excel*.
Matchups are for sure a thing, but usually you don't need to worry *too* much about the exact race you are facing (anti vehicle weaponry is anti vehicle weaponry) although there will always be some matchups that require special care as you need to worry about things like vespids and raptors wrecking your day.
Me, roxor and rk47 are usually up for a solid round of theorycrafting. If you want better sources I do not know where to find them though.
Still "build order" generally just comes down to the first 60s, and maybe a plan for what to focus on in t2, you gotta play the opponent and the map state.
If you don't infiltrate the rangers then they're cheaper to respond to.
The biggest strength of the ranger is that it forces the enemy to invest in detection and it has fleet of foot to cross the map for harassment in the early game.
But as usual, since the game features 8 factions the cost varies.
Let's not forget that some faction capping units are extremely low count and fragile, so Rangers when played right can wipe them out with ease. The trick here is to get as close as possible to the capping unit before opening fire. This is of course, not possible if they're not infiltrated.
There are some match-ups where you can skip Farseer due to her cost. If you wish to play defensively it's better to just invest that resource into LP2 instead of aimlessly running her around. She cannot deal damage on her own and she is a support hero with a single target nuke and accuracy bonus.

You're missing out by getting farseer instead of rangers. I think farseer in general is way overpriced for what you get, although there are certain matchups (tau, ig) where she is very nice to have.
Vipers have good knockback against infantry, as well as good av. So they can be useful sometimes, but fire dragons are usually the first choice for AV (but remember they do like 1.5 dps against infantry).
Well, given CL's auspex and cultist vision, you definitely shouldn't try to get rangers vs chaos, that's for sure
Eldar T2 cost is not cheap. 225/225
Rotting too long in T1 is the downfall of many Eldar. Farseer slows that even more with her 220/80 price tag.
Keep in mind, Eldar Power Generator cost is horrendous at 165 requisitions each.
If you're facing an aggressive opponent that pushes in at low tier, you may want the Farseer but I'd rather take a 3rd Dark Reaper squad to force them to leave so you can tech in peace.

I have fleet of foot and dark reapers, what do I fear a slow and chunky man? I can shoot and scoot until the universe dies, or just beat him in a straight up ranged duel. I'd rather have a ranger squad to break the morale of their marines than a farseer to buff my reapers with guide.
I'm not sure I agree. Cultists are easily slain and the auspex costs power and has short vision range. Forcing the chaos to micro cultists and spend req to reinforce them is good.Well, given CL's auspex and cultist vision, you definitely shouldn't try to get rangers vs chaos, that's for sure
Either way, I'd rather have an extra dark reaper/ranger than a farseer. I only like farseer in matchups where you can use mind war to horribly oppress the enemy (like IG and tau, maybe orkz?).
