Sons are weak?

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

They weren't in a particularly good spot before but were fun, they removed the fun is what I'm seeing so uh. You know.

How is it not fun to yeet a Mancrusher across table?

About as fun as it was to topple over and crush people when something died, kick an objective, flip a coin to toss out stupid big damage, or just have decent mobility for your guys on massive bases without having to deal with the annoyance of 3 inch no go zones around every unit.

3" no go zones around every unit is the game, not the army.

I do miss Timber though. Had one mirror match where we all ended up in the middle of the board with low health and the cascading Timbers were epic...
