>>8184139It's weird because I'm part of a Blood Bowl league that's been going since like 1995 and almost the entirety of them just hate GW. Going from afraid to speak my opinions at a GW store to going there and being embraced for not joining in on group think was a trip.
>>8184074Yeah I haven't seen him in like 2 years now since the last time we tried to play a game, any time I'd question why something in 8e had changed, he'd get violently upset and tell me not to play if I didn't like the changes and simplifications. So I just did.
I severely doubt 9e will change anything for the better, when 8e already removed basically everything I liked about the game, and the models are all monopose and not even good for bits/customs anymore. It's just real monkey's paw with these figures and shit like the games now. More media and support than ever but all of it is either absolutely fucking awful or a 6/10 at best. Hasn't been a shift in the gameplay this much since the move from 2e to 3e and that felt less bad since Necromunda still kept the old 2e rules as an alternative.
