I read about what people say about Orks, and I've heard everything from "Orks are fine the way they are," to "We should have a Monstrous Creature!" Not sure why on that second one. It does kinda fit with they way they grow, but I really don't see it as a "MUST BE MINE!" sort of thing.
The way I see it, the biggest problem is Flash Gitz. These are Nobz that like shooting more than close combat. But regular Nobz are better at close combat than their lesser brethren, the Boyz. Flash Gitz are no better at shooting than your average Boy. In fact, despite their increased focus on shooting, it seems their close combat statistics have improved. Even if it were an upgrade for a few points per model, I could see a BS of 3 going a long way to making the Flash Gitz usable.
Also, my biggest problem as of late has been Land Raider spam. Most anything else I've been able to find something to counter with relative ease. But it's hard for us Orks to pop AV 14. Very hard to reliably pop it. And I've never been able to pop it at a range. Up close, the wonderful squad inside gets a nice round of shooting before they assault into the Nobz, Bikerz, what have you. Not a nice setup.
Oddly, I can see Flash Gitz solving this problem too. The Blasta upgrade could easily give the unit Melta and Gets Hot! As it is, I don't bother buying the Blasta upgrade. Even at BS 2, I think I'd give it a couple moments thought instead of simply passing it by.
Then again, I don't design the game. So I could be totally off.
