Since this has been the standard rebuttal to people wanting some slight changes to the overturned Hammer of Sol, there were a few things I wanted to say:
1) The sentence in my title might sound witty, but is sadly off topic.
Neither does it follow any logic, nor is it an argument.
It's the thing you say when you have nothing else to say.
2) Especially hunters having had the strongest PvP classes overall, should know when something is over tuned.
When the Hunter mains start to complain that something is too strong, you know that we have a balancing problem.
It's like playing Counter Strike and AK 47 users complaining, that the new ZyX gun is too strong. They used one of the strongest guns in the game for years. They know what they talk about.
Edit:
Since a lot of people have trouble to understand this point as it was intended, I will add a little note.
Of note:
I am talking about what was the baseline for an OP super. I am not talking about what *should* be OP.
The baseline in Y1, even after several nerfs, of what is considered OP, were Hunter supers.
The new baseline for OP is the Hammer of Sol.
3) All supers have some forms of checks and balances.
Arcblade is mobile and does solid damage, yet it has no range. Golden Gun has the range, mediocre mobility, but 0 defense.
The Hammer of Sol however, has everything. It has very high damage output, very high defenses and adequate mobility.
Nothing balances it in the way other mobile supers are balanced.
4) A Titan main, telling a Hunter main, that his opinion is invalid concerning this subject, is pretty much the definition of irony.
Going down that route simply makes you look like a clown.
5) Luke Smith himself says that the damage resistance might be a bit too much and the he is over performing with the Sunbreaker, for a PvP player on his skill level.
(Kotaku Podcast, min 45-47)
6) Most people saying "git gud and learn to counter it" with their 1.01 KD (or worse) and other very mediocre stats, should stop thinking that they understand the game mechanics. These people are not on any level to give that kind of advice.
7) Cue the insults, call me whiny and tell me how I am a hunter main (even though I mained a Voidwalker for the PvP for quite some time before TTK hit the shelves).
Nothing of these things invalidate anything I said here.
Edit
Thanks to some great input, I want to add:
8) People going around and telling other users that they should simply stop whining, don't understand an integral part of this discussion:
This is not about personal grief, getting killed by a HoS user or anything else along the lines.
This is about the game's balance. And wanting a certain baseline that resembles what we call balance, has nothing to do with whining.
Edit 2:
Over 2000 posts, more than 100 upvotes and a lot of people staying rational and understanding what I wanted to say.
Thank you for the participation guys.
I definitely have more hope for the majority of this community, than I had before.
Keep the comments coming!

1 AntwortenProbably a really butthurt Hunter main lol

3 AntwortenOh ya all I do is slide shotgun and shoot people in the face with my golden gun that they can't react to and run around knifing everyone and freezing whole teams in place with my purple arrow. But this guy threw a hammer at me while I was shooting him and I died in one hit. That's too much. I also love it when hunters who know nothing about Titans assume all their Sunbreaker perks are somehow active, ie 'omg they get seven hammers that home in and regenerate their health and give them over shields and chain damage and give them buffs.' Yeah, either you cancel their super, run away, or try and down them if they're already hurt. TL;DR: get over it

2 AntwortenEww op is a hunter. Post is gross and invalid.

HoS is kinda OP, and that is coming from someone who mains a titan. But its nothing that needs all the complaints that it is getting. Cause 3 supers cancel it (FoH, nova, and Shadowshot) and GG shoots fast enough that even if sunbreaker is using max armor build (where he takes two shots) he has a good chance of trading off. I'm not going to argue with you because you're a hunter, but because your point may be off (not talking directly at you OP, just in general) and I look forward to having a logical conversation with somebody on this topic.

When people try to tell Hunters to "let the Titans shine for once," atleast your subclass didn't get [b][i]hammered[/i][/b] by nerf after nerf, straight into oblivion. BD is a joke compared to what it used to be.

The thing is the supers do check the supers(Hunters check both supers Woot woot m8) Anyway the Sunbreaker although ranged can be easily voided with shadowshot even if one shot doesn't kill the titan when hit directly with it he doesn't have a super and unless your close to him the hunter is most likely to win the gun battle...Moving on to warlocks...they check hunters because of their speed...hunters may be the quickest class but when warlocks have their super they are considerably quicker... I've been out&supered by the new warlock super plenty of times...now sunbreajer doesn't need explaining(I really don't feel like it) but each super has a "one-up" on the other even if it may seem one class is 10x more powered than the other

Been saying this since Y1 play style for a hunter is different. (Not better or worse) you were designed to get out of trouble instead of facing it head on.. Live to fight another battle and you'll see your K/D rise to think you should be able to take them out as well as disappear and dart away is greedy and as a fellow hunter I say leave it or a minimal thing like auto aim a bit less. From a hunter by a hunter.

1 AntwortenHere's a legit rebuttal: Titans are built for armor, and they need a roaming super. GG doesn't need an armor boost because if someone shoots you, melt them. Other than that, all roaming supers have an armor boost.
-
I main as a hunter. Hammer of sol is over powered. Reason for not being invalid, i play my titan too. When a storm trance/golden gun/blade dancer can't stop you, there are balance issues. Lower the armor. That is all.

[spoiler]Hm? Oh. Nvm me. Just a warlock popping popcorn.[/spoiler]

As a hunter, (hate me all you want yet I never complained), the sunbreaker super itself is op in crucible. But still, i manage to take some down, just takes strategy and team mates who aren't stupid.

Good post

I hate when people say other peoples criticism is invalid....because everybody has a different point of view.

As a Titan main, it's actually funny for hunters warlocks to be on this side of the argument for once. In year 1 PVP, the Titans supers and skill tree sucked. Clearly Titans where the least favorite class for competitive play. Titans get a ranged super and the crowd goes nuts. It's not overpowered man. For once, the Titan Sunbreaker skill tree still sucks. No range on melees, mediocre grenades, and minimal abilities.( evades, QuickDraw, Etc) Destiny is not made for 1v1 encounters. It's made to be played as a team. Did you know that a night-stalker can pop a Sunbreaker out of super!!!!??? In range!!!!????? As a striker Titan I spent all year 1 popping bladedancers, golden guns, warlocks out of supers. That's all the fist of havoc was good for and not at all did we hear the uproar we're hearing now. Worst of all striker Titans had to do it in close quarters!

OP gets it. I main a Hunter also but a lot of the time I can put a end to a Sunbreaker. 60% of the time, it works every time.

16 AntwortenBearbeitet von Bicepus Maximus: 10/1/2015 9:19:09 PMDude... the problem with your arguement is hammer of sol is not overpowered. The stats do not even support your claim in the slightest. Overpowered is a douche bag going invis and sneaking behind someone with NO skill and shotting them in the back with a shotgun. Hello Hunters.... lol

Bearbeitet von twofoeone-__-: 10/12/2015 10:40:10 PMI've learned to counter it easily with Storm Caller. It's easy and since I've been practicing it I rarely die to them in any game mode such as mayhem. Especially mayhem. Just face it princess, you guys don't have the strongest PvP class anymore. Have a good day. Edit: Kinda sad that you don't have your characters link to this account so no one can see your stats. Hiding something? Like shitty stats.
