"Why do orcs suck so much?"
Actually FliK orcs are ne's hardest race to counter. Ne's only real guaranteed chance to beat orcs is early, going hunts/ballista and preventing orc from fast teching. If orc get to bloodlust you will most likely lose period. Orc Shaman cost 2pop and 150gold to produce have 410hp and 400mana and do 19dmg avg. and bloodlust costs 50mana to cast and has no cooldown. Also gives +40% attack and +25% speed to units. Your dryads have 380hp and 200mana and abolish costs 75mana. If you really think that you can out abolish bloodlust then you are crazy. If they throw in witchdoctors with wards it is very very tough for ne to stop. Most add in taurens which I think are a mistake since cyclone can easily counter these but wyverns on the other hand can run circles around your DotTs with proper micro. Wyvern get +40% attack and +25% speed you better have 2-3 DotTs to every wyvern if you want to win this battle, especially since the shaman will be hitting you while the wyverns run you around. Throw in the fact the orc can tower creep while they quick tech and still have their heros relatively close in lvl to you makes it even worse for ne. There are ways to counter orc with ne but it requires the ne to play a very good game if they want to beat a orc player late game. Check warcraftstrategy.com Crazyassassin has written some decent articles on countering orc with ne, he also agrees that orc is ne's worst opponent.
