Orcs vs. Humans

It seems a bit one-sided when it comes to leveling up humans against orcs. It can't be that the only way to defeat an Orc is by leveling up dark skills. That sounds strange, at least. After all, the game provides many options for winning not only against a specific faction but also against a particular hero...
According to the respected Mish-gan, the confrontation between these factions is too straightforward.

P.S. Yes, I did mention that Light is better countered by Orcs. But not because the Light debuff works more effectively than the Dark debuff. It's all about the specific characteristics of the "Haven" faction. Specifically, the distribution of stats between primary and secondary hero parameters. Also, the "Dark Knight" can hinder the Orc when using the Dark debuff.
