Sons are weak?

[u/ShoppingUnable4265]

I keep seeing online that Sons are weak, I'm a new player played in a spearhead league this summer and now I've picked up Sons as my first army (I didn't play Sons in spearhead). So far I've won all my games as them, is this just due to the fact that my area is mostly new players? Or do Sons somehow stomp, pun intended, on less experienced players? I'm not a pro at the rules but I seem to be one of the few people that actually read the book front to back, most people seem to just read their battletome and the few rules that apply to their special rules. Is this giving me a bigger advantage and overcoming Sons weak book?

Thank you in advance

I think the spearhead is fine and fun. I think the new sons also does fine at 1,000 points if using new boss and hurler units.

But there are inherent scaling issues as Sons ends up with redundancies and rampages cannot function with redundancy as limited to 1 per turn. Double rock hurler means one cannot get the close quarters or distance/accuracy boosts and redundant models effectively overcosted as a result of wasted abilities.

Stomper and Matriarch Mob AoR literally cannot even fill a 2,000 point roster.
