It's a classic case of rock paper scissors. People usually say I'm the one to call things overpowered but when it comes to orcs, I don't think they are, only because the game is setup so that they get rocked by a half dozen classes and can in turn rock a handful of combos. It feels like orcs are entirely reliant on bash + savage feeding. Take that away and their toolbox is meh at best.
I'm not a fan of rock, paper, scissors types of balance. It works in games like GW2 where there's zero commitment in having a tournament character, it doesn't work at all in high commitment games like CF.
The only orc logs you see posted btw are of them spam bashing villagers. In game I see these guys die all the time to pretty much everything that isn't a villager warrior but they don't post those logs, so you come away with a huge survivor bias if all you go on is the log board.
