Hey there guardians!, [b]**[/b]([b]TL;DR[/b] at the end.)[b]**[/b] I noticed how a lot of other non-titan guardians thinks that Titan skating is unfair because they think it makes no sense that the "tank" class could achieve more speed than hunters. So hear me out on this. Yeah as a Hunter myself, I used to be really frustrated when i was getting outrun by Titans at first i though it was unfair at all! Then, a few weeks ago, I got myself a copy of Overwatch. Now now, i know whats you're saying: "what does Overwatch have to do with all of this -_-". Well let's just [b][u]***PRETEND***[/u][/b] that Destiny's class system now works like in Overwatch. Okay so, what are "Tanks" or Titans if you'd like. Tanks are the pillar of a team. They are there to protect or capture critcal/strategic points on a certain battlefield and control the flow of a firefight. You see in Overwatch there's a certain hero named: "Reinhardt" and in one particular scenario, becomes near the fastest hero in the entire game and how? With the use of his "Charge" ability making him able to reach really high speed in a very linear pattern at the cost of a lot of his [u]mobility[/u]. Now, if you don't already know where am going with this, back to Titan skating. This ability of their own makes the [u]average[/u] Titan able to reach really high speed but...at the cost of [u]mobility[/u]! So now, why do i think this is fair? Well because Tanks are, like i said, more focused on [u]controlling[/u] objectives. And titan skating gives them the ability to reach said objective faster than any other class, filling their roles as tanks! They have to be there first in order to control the flow of the battle! And as a side note, Titans are not more [u]agile[/u] than Hunters. Why?, because there is a big difference between [u] top speed[/u] and [u]movement speed[/u]. You see, the [u]average[/u] Titan gains a lot of [u]linear speed[/u] at the cost of their [u]mobility[/u]. But, Hunters, as you already know, will maybe not reach as much speed as Titans when going in a linear pattern, except, hunters have way more bi-directional, vertical [u]mobility[/u] and "finesse" than Titans. Filling their role as [u]high mobility offensive class[/u]. So yeah i do think its fair that Titans can outrun Hunters with their skating ability. Since we, hunters have the gift of high [u]mobility[/u]. As for Warlocks, they are the most [u]versatile[/u] class. Able to be both an [u]objective focused[/u], [u]support[/u] and [u]offensive[/u] class. They may not be able to control objectives and the flow of a firefight as well as Titans, nor be as mobile as Hunters, but they can Take a lot of damage on their own and pull out very good offensive abilities. If you made it all the way here, i hope i didn't waste your time guardians! :D [b][u]TL;DR[/u][/b]: Titan skating = high linear speed, but less directional mobility. Hunter overall, are more mobile. Warlocks are the most versatile, meaning each combinations has it pros and cons and overall titan skating seems pretty [u]balanced[/u]. Also, keep in mind that all of this thread is based on a personal opinion on the subject, yours may differ. I hope you all have a nice day! :D *[b]EDIT[/b]* [b][u]do not take the Overwatch comparison for granted, its just to make this whole thing easier to understand since a lot of other guardians tend to compare the 2 games. I do know that classes works very diffrently in destiny[/u][/b]. *[b]EDIT[/b]* a lot of guardians brought up the fact that with Shoulder Charge and the use of Twilight Garrison, Titans do not loose enough mobility when skating. To this, my opinion is neutral, as i understand why guardians are upset about this, but i also acknowledge the fact that they have to "spec" in order to achieve that. Same for Hunters who have to spec with Bones of Eao and Controlled jump to gain even more mobility. *[b]EDIT[/b]* the salt level seem to have reached a pretty high amount for mostly unjustified reasons... Please if you did not either [u]read the TL;DR or the actual thread itself,[/u] do not leave unhelpful replies... This thread is about looking at something relatively important with a [b]rational[/b] mind. Thank you in advance guardians
