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!

Nice post

8 AntwortenTo sum it up, hunters who say that HoS is OP is like a fat American saying mcdonalds is OP because it made them fat.

[b][u]It is invalid[/u][/b]. I thought blade dancer was pretty OP before house of wolves and then I tried it out and learned that it requires a lot more foresight and planning. I figured it was pretty balanced other than arc bolt grenades at that point. It's total crap to say something is overpowered if you haven't even experienced it yourself.

11 AntwortenI still don't even understand what mains is. You have three classes and they all have different abilities. Choose whichever one you feel like at the time

Bearbeitet von ILyncher: 9/29/2015 10:50:49 PMI main a titan, I truly believe you should be able to one shot with a sniper to the head no matter what character or super is being used.If this is fixed I have no problems.That is just my opinion though, no need for salty tears of 1000 naked gypsy's.

12 AntwortenRemove the hammer glitch, and reduce the overshield to be on part with bladedancer/sunsinger/stormcaller. Problem solved. Also I think that it is about time to fix the whole "I'm above the fist of havoc or on a different level in a building and still die."

1 AntwortenI agree it is the strongest super right now. It is not as powerful as people think though. I have a lot less trouble dodging it than any other super. The idea is not to try to engage frontaly especialy at short range. The following changes should address the issues: - make it a one shot kill to GG and high impact sniper head shot - when the perk for more hammers is taken, hammers should have a longer flight time

2 AntwortenHow two balance supers. •Gg: - 2 shot Hammer, sunsinger, defender - 1 shot bladedancer, storm, striker, novabomb •Hammer: -3 shot Defender bubble - 2 shot gg, sunsinger - 1 shot bladedancer, striker, novabomb, storm •Storm: dont have much expieriance with this •Arcblade: -2 shot every super, because of how fast the swings are, exception of bubble cuz you cant attack the bubble lol •striker: -1 shots everything •sunsinger: - grenades do the same damage - one shot melee like always - can take 2 gg -can take 2 hammers •Bow: -suppresses all supers -cancels bubble out •Shield: -can take --2 gg --3 hammers -- destroyed by novabomb -- destroyed by striker --- destroyed by voidbow •voidbomb: - 1 shots everything

14 AntwortenThe thing is if you nerf the armour or the damage of the hammer golden gun outclasses it. As it fires insanely quick, you guys just have to double tap and it's a tie kill.

12 AntwortenMight be a good post but too many words for my little brain to read. Summary please folks.

Honestly I needed to be a hunter in order to fight a hunter. Now sunbreakers come out and they are all salty. I'm gonna enjoy the French fries tonight with hunter salt.

1 AntwortenCan we just buff every other sub classes and get it over with it.
-
The usage statistics seem to indicate hammer of sol is balanced. Titans kits are not outperforming the other subclasses. I don't understand why you would spend so much time letting a first impression of a game mechanic make you angry.

5 AntwortenI bet this guy mains a hunter. this whole post is invalid.

I think all classes have that super that is just ridiculous. I'm no pro at crucible, but I think Titans deserve a lil something that will make crucible more enjoyable. I never player crucible as a striker. Looking forward to trying the hammer in crucible
-
2 AntwortenGiven that it can be glitched, that should be fixed and as far as GG shots, it should at least take titans into health, killing in 2 shots, not 3

Plus the hammers don't even need to hit you. It went soaring passed my head but still managed to kill me
