Of course the 0rphanage is horrible.
All they do is station camp and run pipes in hisec while ganking lone targets. It's pretty hard to be good at PvP when your biggest target is the guy who just undocked his dramiel into your Vigilant and your 4 pals sitting right on the Dodixie M20 undock.
It's the same way that Noir. is horrible at anything other then uncloaking and ganking people.
The same way REPO was bad at anything other then jumping in and ganking mission runners.
The same way certain 0.0 power blocs are bad at anything other then getting a gang of 50 together to hunt 10 people in T1 cruisers.
Every pilot, every corporation, every alliance in this game has a way of playing EVE.
To me, alot of them are absolutely horrible at this game because they can't engage in even PvP and dont have a chance 1 on 1.
However, one of the cool things about EVE is for the most part, you can play it however you want.
While the 0rphanage might not be good at actual PvP, what they are good at is beating the absolute **** of any wartarget unlucky enough to be in the 5 places that they actually are.
Sure, I don't respect it or think it's worthy of praise, but just because you don't agree with what they do doesn't mean they're bad at what they do.
The criticism might has to do with Orph having around 10 decs simultaneously; with so many targets of opportunity it is a good tactic to just sit on busy gates I suppose. Problem is that you won't get any smart and careful targets with that. We had the pleasure of being decced by them last week and they didn't get any kills on us because we were careful not to engage them on their terms and because they didn't give us much personal attention until the last few days.
If you scout, it is easy to avoid them. Chances are that they are not actively searching you and your members out due to having so many wardecs anyway. If one is camping you at a station, check nearby systems on an alt and you'll quickly find his 2-5 backup crew.
They have a good 'divide and conquer' tactic though, with players spread out over an area but closeby enough to assist each other when needed. Even if they didn't get kills on us they did managed to keep us from hunting our own wt's more freely which was annoying so I guess their contract was worth it.
