Orks are not the strongest.....
you think they are better than blood angels?
read the codex and tell me that again.

What army were you playing? was the nid player spammy/very, very, good? were you new?

Being massacred on turn 3 by one of the worst codices in the game only happens under unnusual circumstances.

Mech IG, Dark Eldar....and I think BA and Space Wolves are tied for a spot.

Imperial Guard, Dark Eldar, and SW/BA.

Out of the four, you see DE do the worst because it is the only army out of the four listed that requires a player with decent skill to win. Not because DE are under balanced, but rather that the other 3 armies are baby-proof and any idiot with one arm can push to victory. This is why you see MORE of those armies win because MORE of those players would lose if they tried to win with Dark Eldar. Get me?

If you took an experienced player, and cloned him 4 times, I would bet easily that the winner would mostly be the Dark Eldar player, just for the fact that the Dark Eldar army is designed to beat those armies up there. The problem is, that you need a slightly different build to fight the IG than you do the training wheels for noobs SW/BA.

Of course this is just my opinion.

I think people are answering 'What three armies are easiest to win with whether you are a full grown adult or tiny baby' instead of the actual poll question.

QFT
I would like to start DE, and it looks like much more of a challenge than my orks (move forward, die, move forward, die, move forward, die, move forward, assault)
or my tau (stand, shoot, stand, shoot, stand, shoot, get charged and die)

I don't know. Sure they have some powerful tricks, but they're just incredibly fragile.

That is exactly what was addressed by Buffo!
It is difficult to win with them, but if you are good they can be amazing.
