We’ve been neglected for so long that the whole class needs an overhaul
-
That might be what they're doing but the overhaul would probably mean that some of the stuff they had has to be taken down or removed so they can be built back up. Titans were not being neglected and although I don't play one they appeared to have some of the strongest builds over the last few years whether it was strand punching everything or standing around taking damage from all directions without having to pay attention the year before that.

Lorelai was straight busted, i agree, but now that both synthoceps and banner of war have been nerfed, we don’t have anything remotely viable
-
I'm sure they'll get something just like what happened with banner of war. Titans really never go all that long without something that's more than viable.

The problem is that every viable build we get is built around a melee gameplay loop, which inherently requires us to have high damage output + high survivability, which in of itself makes sense, because you need the risk and reward balance to that playstyle, but then you run into the problem of PC players being able to do stuff like 1-2 punch strand builds to solo bosses in ludicrously short time frames, which leads to people screaming “Titans are OP”, and then Bungie nerfs our build into the ground. Here’s the thing though, the best Titan builds are only really OP on PC, as a console player, I can’t run those builds to their optimal potential because I’m limited by my controller. What we need is for Bungie to give us an out so that we’re not stuck in this cyclical loop of melee builds
-
I can agree with that. But if that was really going to change, and it would most likely be too much for them to be able to do both, then the melee centered builds would probably have to be reduced or removed so that they can do more DPS or movement based things or whatever it is you crazy PvE people be doing. I will say the PC comment you made is quite interesting given that there appears to be very few teams that finished the day one on console. That might also be because acquiring a gaming PC that can reliably run the game isn't as expensive as it used to be though.
-
PC players will always have an inherent advantage over console players, because console players are limited by their controller and the number of buttons available, add in macros and you get overpowered gameplay loops I think if the devs could give titans a viable super that doesn’t revolve around melee or close range engagements, it would go a long way to solving many of the issues i brought up outside of the current bugs
-
I would bet that the devs probably think the same thing as far as giving them ranged abilities. But having it to where they have DR, ranged stuff, and a ton of melee stuff would probably be too much. As far as the PC thing, if people weren't so scandalous then maybe there could be mnk on console. Other than that its basically just a matter of choosing to use what makes them the most competitive. Nowadays a lot more people seem to have both console and PC whereas before a lot of people would only have one or the other for gaming purposes.
