Yeah NA, pretty sure the majority of problems with magic were more due to Army-specific Lores (eg. Necromancy for VC's and Daemons in general.)
And DD, that is completely correct. Armies like Dark Elves, (2xHydra, Dreadlord with Pendant on Blackdragon + Blackguard Deathstar unit) VC's (If they went overboard with magic stuff) and Daemons (Just everything...everything) were ridiculous in 7th. Those three were the most complained about, however Skaven and WoC lists had their day.
One of the things we are looking at for this particular project is the balance of the army lists, helped by the fact that they will not be released a book at a time, meaning there will be no urge to one-up the previous book. Again and again and again.
Thanks guys. Now the same thing but stuff that you don't like about 8th too. Let me know if there is more about 7th, but could you please label it as such. This is great guys, please keep it coming.
As an aside, I think I may have a year on you DD.
