I have the exact opposite problem with my eldar.

One day I'll be able to use them without people freaking out over how OP they perceive Eldar are! (Only wraithknights and scatbikes are OP. but good luck convincing anyone of that)

I wouldn't say they were OP. But, they are still very strong.

Not really though.

I have a lot of armies and I can tell you Eldar isn't even my 2nd most powerful one. They are incredibly weak to any kind of deepstrike heavy army to the point that I don't even see them as a competitive army. They have almost a 0% chance of beating a drop pod battle company or war convocation.

Outside of scatterbikes+wraithknights any army but chaos should hold their own against it.

I know most people playing against eldar get flustered by all their special crazy rules, and when you don't know beforehand their crazy shenanigans its gonna look broken. But once you understand that almost the entire army has an effective range of 12" and is a 20+ point T3 space marine... You can really work around that.

I think the new Eldar updates will help.
Lynxs might not be super heavies anymore, but they are way cheaper, and have arguably better shooting. Put them in zoom mode, wait till marines land, then pop em dead.
The new Doom Weaver style Wraithknight is also particularly nasty against White Scar biker spam, and any sort of marine player running a good amount of troops (drop pod armies).
We will see.

Wraithknights explode to Drop Grav. (grav cents or skyhammer etc). Also scouting grav is nasty too. Against any other army he is insanely OP though

If they make Lynx any better then it'll be way too broken. It's bordering on broken itself as it is.

They honestly don't need to buff Eldar at all. In fact they need to nerf wraithknights and scatbikes and the codex would be almost a perfect example of what every codex should be. Everything is viable and has their own unique rules that make them feel like they do in the fluff.

The FW is not going to make the Eldar better. There might be some gems in there but for the most part everything is just more expensive and not as good. it will be fun to mess around with but codex eldar just seem cheaper across the board. Kinda like how everytime you look at Harlequins you think, "I could get the same thing in an eldar army cheaper and better..."
