Mr. Fruit's View on Titans and Class Balancing

Titans should be buffed (I am a Titan)

3864

Titans should be buffed (I am not a Titan)

2128

EDIT: Please ignore the poll, I accidentally posted it unfinished and now I can't change it. [quote]As to all those who don't believe that Titans are the worst, and are trying to refute me. I could spend a whole video talking about it, but almost every point you all bring up - the other classes either have it built-in, or an exotic that outclasses it. Bubblebro is priceless in PvE. But for PvP, Titans are just at a clear disadvantage. As a person who has used every class, and every subclass, and has most time put into a Titan this is the consensus I've come to. Thankfully it looks like Sunbreaker is going to change things for Titans in PvP, but let's look at it realistically: Slowest agility : Yes you can use the "triple" tap jump to speed around, but it's not intuitive to most and it's not always practical to run around doing it in PvP and in a gunfight, you don't have the same speed to strafe or even run away - not to mention blink is just a get out of jail free card. It's so easy to avoid supers, heavies etc with blink, but titans can't get away so even overall titan's k/d usually don't match up with the other classes. It's the "TANKY" class : We're supposed to be the frontline, however even when we max our armor out we only have 1 more health than a hunter in PvP I believe, and are tied with Warlocks. The Ram alone gives Warlocks like 22 more health in PvP which is insane. Melee : We're supposed to be the melee class, but it's a fact our melee is the worst. No range to it. Hunters are above it especially with blink strike glitch, and the warlock is just a mile ahead of them both. Yes we have shoulder charge, but as you can see it's pretty easy to counter if you know what you're up against and titans also have to usually prep for shoulder charge beforehand knowing when it'll be up after sprinting, and how long it'll be up. Supers: The Fist of Havoc is situational, rarely nets several kills, and you almost feel punished for using it at times because it always seems like you need to save it for a cluster, which rarely seems to happen. Warlocks have the same thing in the form of Nova Bomb, which they can send from a safe distance. Hunters have a super that pretty much guarantees 2-4 kills every activation. Exotics: Yes the Saint-14 is great... in PvE. It can help occasionally in PvP, but using bubblebro in PvP is already putting you at a disadvantage. Ruin Wings are bugged and only useful for PvE. Arma is great for two grenades which can help, but warlocks have that perk built into their subclass already. Pretty much any other exotic is completely niche, or just offers a perk that's already in your subclass. Feedback fences? It tickles the enemy, I've gotten 1 kill across my hours of playtime using it. PvP you just have nothing that really helps, and so I often use Inmost light just because it lets me take 2 skills for my super. You can all sit here and argue on and on about it, but I can say without a doubt that Bungie is sitting on data that backs up exactly what I'm saying - especially PvP. I talked to Luke Smith and Mark about this while I was at bungie for hours on end. The Titans just don't have anything they really shine at, except for being the staple for most PvE encounters with the Bubble. They told me they're aware of it and are always looking at ways to fix it. So fingers crosses, but even Bungie knows Titans are a notch down from the others. The bubble is near useless in PvP because it can't protect against supers, you can't use it as a reactive defense because everything bursts it. Anyway like I said I could go on and on and on about this because as someone who wants the Titans so badly to be really good, it hurts to realistically look at it and know that we're just not at the same tier with the current build. I'm not going to respond to the comments to this because it won't get us anywhere, you're always free to disagree. /rant[/quote] -Mr. Fruit This comment can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DrH5FmnCm8c This is probably the best argument for class balancing I've seen in a long time. The video (Specifically the first round) shows the clear disadvantages that the Titan has in the melee department, even with shoulder charge. And in the round where they were all using an auto rifle, Mr. Fruit absolutely crushed Blue and Rhabby, so he's likely more skilled than them, but in the other rounds in this series it doesn't look like it because abilities were allowed in those rounds. Other Thread with more evidence: https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/147725199/0/0 Statistics thread: https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/151174823/0/0 Tell me if you agree or disagree, and if you do disagree please give a valid argument rather than "Fist of Havoc/Shoulder Charge/Lightning Grenades is/are OP" or at least give some form of evidence to prove it. Thanks for Reading!

  • Well how I see it, Titan is a PvE based class the best out of the classes for PvE. Warlock is a PvE/PvP based class not too good not to bad in both. For Hunters they are PvP based the best class for PvP. Every class has their strengths and weakness.

    Also I kinda wish that catapult, was more catapult-like. It'd be a great alternative to anyone that wished to have blink on their titans.

      Titans are actually a lot better than most people seem to realize. If you like running Titans but hate running them through PvP, then I would highly recommend you watch [url=https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCY6Qy4qU-d13U42280CxIvA]True Vanguards[/url] tutorials. He does a great job explaining the Titans strengths and weaknesses. [b]In my opinion[/b], the only thing Titans are lacking compared to the other classes in PvP is their melee abilities. The Titans melee has little to no range at all (excluding Shoulder Charge) not to mention the melee perks themselves are sub-par. The Titans melee is very high risk low reward. For example - [b]Overload[/b] - Kills with Storm Fist have a chance to reset its cooldown. One thing, Storm Fist has to be cooled down which is not always the case. Plus, you have to actually kill your opponent with Storm Fist, but if they're at full health and you hit them, it counts as using Storm Fist, and what are you going to do if you happen to get a kill with it? Use it again so you can MAYBE get another Storm Fist cooldown? To top it off, you have to be right in their face. I could go on, but the Risk/Reward factor is generally the same for the rest of the melee perks. [b]I main as Titan[/b]

    • They'll probably end up buffing Warlocks even more and Bungie will be like: "Oh you said TITANS were underpowered!?? We could have SWORN you said Warlock... Oopsies our mistake. We'll keep that in mind for the next update, which we'll be releasing around 2017."

      • Why is every poll on titans so one-sided and yet when it comes to hunters, there's always a counter option (hunters needing a nerf).

      • Titan is perfectly fine in PvE, but their killing potential is slightly lower in pvp. They don't have the blink option, they can't revive, and only one of their supers actually kills enemies. Granted, they have shoulder charge, which, if you ask me, can be rather tricky to time and use properly. The fist of panic argument is bs, because supers are designed to provide major killing potential in various situations. It's like all the other supers, really. I'm not saying that Titans need a massive OP buff, just something that will allow them to better contend in PvP, and give them a few more possibilities in the face of the other two blink-advantaged classes.

      • Hell no, the Titans new super looks like it's gonna be a problem in pvp. Striker already is a problem with that shoulder charge. They don't need a buff. Tell that little fruity kid he doesn't know what he's talking about

        • I agree with this and honestly the sunbreaker looks like a nice change but the hammers from what I've seen look pretty easy to dodge. I think the new subclass will be good but just a bit worse than the hunter subclasses and sunsinger in pvp

            • If you watched Mr fruit's titan Olympics video, he proposed the melee only challenge as a titan and lost its all the same. Just giving some evidence there...

            • Catapult should be equivalent to focused burst from the warlock. I can fly around the map with focused burst on my warlock running the lowest agility but but catapult on my Titan is slow and the height is awful, so I have to use increased height just to make it to half the ledges I jump to.

              • Tell me how a Titan has a knife on his belt and never uses it also some have two grenades LMFAO. Maybe they can integrate using a knife perk on the Titan mark our having double grenades.

                They should stay the same, also lighting grenades and shoulder charge are valid arguments, you'll get a new subclass, that should be interesting.
