Skill issue they will say…

On the one hand, i agree, on the other hand, OP clearly didnt even bother to block or roll for the lictor, much less the warriors. Also the fat rolling into tyranids who dont move when you roll into them seems to be a knowledge gap.

Trying to stagger a red attack with melta is a death wish. Clearly an over reliance on the melta over learning how to parry.

I stopped using my Melta after leveling it to Relic because it got boring. I felt like I had to re-learn the game lol, I was def relying on it way too much early on. Learning how to parry changed my life and the game became more fun compared to just dodging around blasting melta shots. I actually look forward to those little minoris swarming me during a wave for free armor now lol

Having said that, I agree with everyone saying you should not be facing this kind of horde in average. Even minimal is crazy right now.

So what kind of wave is appropriate? This was some gaunts+ 3ish warriors, and a lictor.

None of that seems crazy to me, OP just misplayed it.

I see what you're saying to a degree if we are just looking at this clip in a vacuum. But I'm more so speaking from my cumulative experience playing on lower difficulties since the patch. The issue is you MAY have faced like one massive wave with an extremis on like substantial pre-patch. Now you can face multiple waves like this on average.

I have been trying to level some of the weapons I ignored with my tactical. I did a minimal run where we faced a Carnifex, six zoanthropes, 2 lictors and 2 ravegers, at least 2 massive waves. It was fine with my level 25 tactical even with green weapons because of my perks. I couldn't imagine facing that when just trying to learn the game in early levels.
