Why Isn't Evade on the Titan?

Seriously. I can't help but thinking this is how it went down at Bungie: [b]Class Design and Balance Lead:[/b] "Boy, judging from these statistics, Titans are the worst Crucible class. We need something to help balance things out. Let's start with Blink. Hmmm. Instead of giving it to the Titans, let's give them something more fitting to compensate; perhaps an evade of sorts. A commando roll..." [b]Titan Class Design and Balance Lead:[/b] "That sounds like an amazing idea. It would really give Titans the answer they need to Blink without upsetting people with the lore. This really is a step in the right direction in balancing the Crucible." [b]Hunter Class Design and Balance Lead:[/b] "But, wouldn't it be [I]super[/I] cool to give Hunters both Blink [I]and[/I] Evade? I think so." *roughly 50% of Bungie Employees agree, since they main Hunters* *the other 49% of Warlocks are too busy buffing their version of Blink to notice, and the remaining 1% of Titans cry as they realise their inevitable bitter defeat due to lack of numbers* Edit: I'm aware of a Titan Exotic which will provide an Evade whilst airborne. Whilst I'm extremely grateful something like this is finally happening the Titan still has it's disadvantages along with it: - Not in base Subclass - Must be airborne - Must use an Exotic armour piece Statistics: - Top 100 Players on PlayStation - 15 are Titans. - Top 100 Players on Xbox - 13 are Titans - KD by Class from highest to lowest - Hunter>Warlock>Titan - Crucible Average KD by Subclass from highest to lowest - Gunslinger>Bladedancer>Voidwalker>Sunsinger>Striker>Defender Sources: http://destinytracker.com/destiny/population http://destinytracker.com/destiny/leaderboards/ps http://destinytracker.com/destiny/leaderboards/xbox Edit: I tried looking at everyone's comment but I can't. My Notebook simply can't load up all the comments at once without freezing and is loading at a snails pace. I tried; I'm sorry. Edit: To everyone grasping straws with excuses like: - "Titan armour is too heavy" or - "Titans are tanks" I say this: 1. Titan armour isn't some primitive design with pieces of metal slapped on the Titan. This is the future. It's lightweight, Titans can still be flexible. And while it's probably heavier than what Hunters and Warlocks use, you have to remember Titans are a lot stronger to compensate for the additional weight. This is comparable to the Spartans in Halo, who also have Evade. And since we're talking about practicality, why should the Hunter get Evade? The cape would surely get it in the way. -_- 2. Titans are not the tanks and are more akin to a Warrior. They are the fastest class, can take good damage and are designed to be in your face. They are not the slowest, they are not the tankiest. And let's try and remember that armour makes very little difference in Crucible. Edit: "You aren't a real titan. Titans don't whine." A real Titan doesn't settle for anything less than the best.

  • I dont remember the name of it pof hand, but Titans do get a mid air evade of sorts with a chest piece. Again, i canr remember the name of it but it sounds like a pretty good idea to me.

  • Because we're the clunky tank class. Hunters are the agile glass cannon class.

  • There's an exotic for an evade. I've seen your posts about it. I mean if you want it that bad then it shouldn't really be a problem.

  • Yes, instead of giving the quick dodge to the class that's supposed to be agile and quick, let's give them to the fat bastards.

        • Twilight Garrison looks like it's going to be garbage. If a Rocket is coming toward you, you would have to jump first [i]and then[/i] double tap O/B to evade - but by that time you'd be dead. Bungie gives Titans the short end of the stick yet again.

              • Yeah I was hoping that Titans could get a type of Evade Ability on their Base Skilltree... But sadly we can't. :/ But I'm a bit thankful we can at least get it as a Exotic Perk. :) ... But I do only want to use the Taikonaut Helmet...

                  • A titan throwing himself on the floor in all that armour would be like a turtle turned upside down While a Hunter in it's lightweight, small frame, fits that perfectly. I agree with you that Titans need something to compensate for lack of blink, but evade aint it. Also, Nightstalker doesn't have blink, that's only on Bladedancer.

                    • Titans are getting an exotic chest piece that lets them evade while in the air.
