Unpopular Opinion?

I’ve been playing a few months pretty casually (currently rank 10) and usually run vampires or ST handbuff. I see a lot of discussion on here that seems to indicate NR aren’t a strong faction at the moment and/or have been neglected by recent patches. But Jesus Christ I lose to them more than any other faction. I mean I probably only have about a 15% win rate against NR. It’s deplorable. I don’t hate them in the way I hate unitless or enslave but I probably lose to them more often. They sneak up on me with their witchers and have so many boost cards that I can’t lock or remove them all. I don’t have a problem with the mages though.

Anybody else have this issue? Or am I just doing something very wrong? I haven’t been around enough to know the history, but has it always been strong in the past and just left alone recently while other factions have gotten buffs and become stronger? Just trying to figure out why I lose the most to the one faction no one seems to complain about losing to.
