I feel like this edition has alot of objectively bad things about it and is absolutely where the alot of worst qualities of current editions showed up. But I feel like I prefer playing this edition compared to a lot of previous editions and 10th edition. Its a weird transitional period where there's still a lot of the old units that haven't been legended yet while still having the fucking Primaris lot. Its strange but I don't feel like I'm missing out on much staying on this edition and playing with friends casually instead of going back to playing the current edition.
I liked 8th edition because the few times I was able to have games I had fun. BUTI think the primary reason I was having fun was because the people I was playing games with are just good people to be around and thus we were genuinely enjoying each other's company and jokes over the rules we loosely obeyed as we rolled dice and moved minis around. So the quality of the wargaming rules did not matter. But with that said I think the wargaming rules are degrading with every edition because fewer people are remembering or able to learn or find out what makes wargaming rules fun to obey and easy to learn.And also GW being a victim of it's own success. There is also the problem of the life-cycles of rules being confined to a few years as everything must be updated and different from every edition which can smother motivation to learn rules as they'll be invalid with time. There will never be a definitive edition that will be genuinely fun and have a solid set of rules to the point where the only necessary updates are just balancing and new units added to rosters. Because execs demand change for profit and because the knowledge of making such rules is becoming less acquirable as time passes.
>>971861088th ed was pretty fun and I’d probably call it the last good edition.
