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

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.

So you want to give the fastest class in the game shade step. No.
-
Because Titan are too bulky. It wouldn't make sense.

Because they have hammer of sol

1 AntwortenSalty Titans are the best Titans.

1 AntwortenMost titan strength comes from motors n such in the armor. A hunter could put it on an be just as strong.

Titans can evade as soon as I can 2 hit melee them with their highest def perks on

2 AntwortenTitans shouldn't WANT to evade. Titans take bullets to the face, smile, then beat you down like a little bîtch. I've whooped people in the crucible with my titan, and I've been whooped. That's the yin and yang of life.
-
They nerfed blink since you bitch so much, you don't need an evade. Cope with it, just like we do.

I mained a Hunter for a long long time. I found myself pvping on a titan far more and having loads more fun, old maps catered for Hunters far more then the newer ones.
