Where are my fellow Guardian's who double as Overwatch-agents from time-to-time?
We need to let Bungie know that what they're planning to do with the new Ice/-blam!- Subclass is going to potentially ruin the Crucible; it's not too late to warn them.
We all saw it: Those grenades that throw ice-walls in front of you, or the Hunter Abilities that freeze you in place and suppress you out of your Super... You know what I'm talking about--You know WHO I'm talking about.
We're about to be running around in a 6v6 Crucible with likely 12--Count them, TWELVE... Mei's. Think about this--Mei walls, Mei Freezes everywhere--EVERYWHERE... And now think about in Overwatch, how ANNOYING and UNBEARABLE Mei actually is to go against... And then say to yourself, "What if Mei could also move around like Genji?" Because that's what an "Ice Hunter" is going to be... Mei, with Genji Speed/Mobility.
Oh and by the way? Grenade Launchers or Rocket Launchers in PvE? Bye. Bye. Bye.
All it takes is one troll with an ice-wall grenade while everyone's lining up for a DPS phase with their grenade launchers, or their rocket launchers, and boom. Suddenly there's an ice-wall in your face and you're wiping.
Y'all don't think this will happen? This will happen. This. WILL. Happen.
CC (character control) abilities (stuns, freezes, sleeps) have all been a crucial part of the Overwatch META for a couple of years now, and they have almost ruined the game. Blizzard is STILL struggling to find ways to control and balance the game because of these abilities, and people have left the game all together because they take away the FUN of the experience.
Nobody wants to lose complete control of their character--It's not fun. It's frustrating. It's rage enducing. It's stressful. It ruins the experience of playing.
Trials Players: How many of y'all are excited to go into Trials Matches knowing you're basically now going to face a 3-stack of Hunters who can just freeze you in place, supress you out of your Super, and let their teammate (who's probably using Aim-bot anyways) get a free snipe on you?
They didn't kill you because they outplayed you. They didn't kill you because they had better skill than you. They didn't kill you because "they got mad flicks." You got killed because of a lucky ability-throw that froze you in placeand game them a FREE headshot because you couldn't dodge it or play to counter it.
Oh and then right when that freeze wore off, because you were stationary, one of the other 2 Hunters already THEIR freeze ability--Boom, you're frozen in place again, and you're dead again.
Bungie, I'm begging you guys. Don't make this mistake. Don't do this to PvP. PvE is fine, but PvP? You're gonna kill the Crucible.

Hi, it's November 12th. I'm just here to remind everyone about this post, from back in July. 👋

Edited by AdligerAdler: 7/27/2020 1:01:46 PMNo skill Jötunn, sniper p*****s, shotgun spammers and Mountaincancer already ruined PvP.
-
I don't care if it kills the crucible, this game is a pve game first and foremost.
-
"PvP is a mistake"? Gotcha. Totally agree.
-
It is called -blam!- not Ice. And you are kicking off about a vid showing a few seconds of game play months before the dlc comes out. Why don't you wait until we have more info first.
-
Ruin the crucible? 😂😂😂😂 As if they could make crucible worse 😅 Crucible could use more fun instead of 100% sweaty CBMM. And we dont even know how the abilities work. Remember when people thought that the 3 throwing knives from blade barrage would be OP because they showed them getting a kill with it.
-
What if we can break the ice super quick by smashing jump button
-
Yeah this game sucks.
-
Bungie is SUPER misleading with their trailers. Remember when they showed TLW 3 tapping a dawnblade to the head? We can only hope that the freeze melee will have some kind if caviat for being so good
-
How are they a mistake? Just try and find a way around them. If destiny kept pvp the same it would go stail
-
I dont think they're a mistake. You might just need to [i]let it go.[/i] [spoiler]I'm sorry I had to.[/spoiler]
-
Remember not to freeze.
-
Meh, I'm cool with it.
-
I'll wait for the game to come out before i make a judgement. It's like giving a movie awards from a trailer.
-
Forsaken subclasses were broken for a few months til they got nerfed too. Just let the ice abilities be OP for a bit
-
That whole ice wall during damage phase? What different between that and a Titan bubble? I mean, I used to love running around in D1, sitting behind someone in patrol spaces and when the Oryx knights would spawn and they'd pull out Gjally I'd pop a bubble on them lol
-
Its not the subclass thats the problem, its PvP thats the problem.
-
Fym "potentially ruin" lmao. PvP has been flaming dog shit since day 1
-
It might require charged with light mechanics, that's what they have been experimenting with all year
-
let's be honest, when you think about Dark Subclasses, the last thing that goes through your mind is Ice, like what the actual fcuk!!, the darkness is supposed to be this Badasss entity that can Rival the Light, and now that is here we get to Freeze & Shatter things like in Anthem, what a fcuking joke, just when you thought this game couldn't get any worse
-
Edited by reenry: 7/27/2020 1:54:22 AMIts 3 months away and we have people already complaining.... what the hell.. But it sounds like you know everything already if you are already demanding changes. So what are the full details of the supers?
-
I hope it utterly destroys Crucible.
-
Okay now here me out on this one everyone but have just come up with an INSANE idea for pvp: adapt to the change and learn how to combat it or use it to your advantage. I know i know the usual strat is keep doing the same and cry for nerfs but lets try this just once okay?
-
You're a mistake. [spoiler]I had to say it, so tempting... 😂[/spoiler]
-
You have no idea how it works it was a few frames of each thing. Until we get a full explanation, we don’t know how broken they actually will be. I’m super hyped for brand new supers
-
Idk if I can handle another nerf to a warlock class bc it’s actually good
