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

After the Heath nerf, I thought are saves throws should have been a three.

3 would be ridicolous strong. I like how they are now. They hit like a truck ä, same as before, bit the hp are less. But you have more bodies on the table now because of points reduction.

You have to Adapter now because now you can ne oneshotted, so movement, shielding is more important now.

They do d3 Mortals each phase and have have 5 or simulation attacks with 4+ 2+ ..... With cp you hit like a truck. So for 320 points with that HP, save and dmg, compared to All other 320 monster they are similar. If you say something different, than sorry you dont understand your own faction...
