It's not the Wood Elves, it's the people who play them that are the problem!

Lol Moraiwe

Now putting aside Moraiwe joke's do you guys on this forum feel the same about the other elf teams(maybe excluding dark elves cause their unique) as well or is it just the wood elves?

Now maybe the above question might reveal how newbie I am but I really don't get why so many people seem to hate wood elves more than the other elf teams and I would like to know why they are hated so much?
Who hates Wood Elves? Care to provide some evidence to back up your claim that "so many people seem to hate wood elves"?
I have now been playing for two days, and already I have been seeing evidence on the internet that people hate wood elves. I have never played as or against them though.

I think Dwarves get more hate than Wood Elves, generally speaking.

But playing against well-coached Wood Elves can be super frustrating. It's not easy, but a good coach can make it LOOK easy. You'll take 6 or 7 turns on offense, always careful and stressful because you can't really even hit anybody without potentially exposing your ball carrier - then the Woodies make a few dodges, sack your carrier, and that old "pick up the ball, flip it to a catcher, guaranteed TD" trick always seems to work. Then you're kicking off to them in the second half and you just know that you'll never be able to even catch up and tie the game, let alone win.

(that, or you need a win, and need the Wood Elves to tie a different game to make the playoffs or whatever ... Wood Elves always seem to win those games like 5-1 or so)

Yep...
Even as a rookie Woodie-Coach I still scored against Chaos with only 5 players left on the field.

Both teams newly created, I must add.

Starting Wood Elves are way better than starting Chaos, not surprising.
