Mr. Fruit's View on Titans and Class Balancing

Titans should be buffed (I am a Titan)

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!

  • Nova bomb is just as bad as FoH and Warlocks have the lowest agility.

  • I honestly don't think Titans are underpowered, I feel the problem is warlocks. They get an exotic which should is built around the Titan. Said exotic, allows them to dominate and have the most of TWO stats. Titans should have the most armor, hunters agility, and warlocks recovery (which is already one of the better base stats, only being outclasses by the ram's armor, allowing users to survive abilities that would've killed any other class). The warlock already excels in every activity, especially crucible. Having the longest melee, over shield on hit plus burn damage. Some of the best grenades (which can burn based of perks, and allow a tickle to kill, or they have the choice for two grenades, which the Titan has to give up an exotic slot for). Not to mention self rez, which might not shine in crucible save trials, but it allows a crutch in any endgame content. The nova bomb is ranged fist of havoc, which allows better control and placement. While fist of havoc can be used as a panic super, nova bomb can as well, just not as effectively. Not to mention blink, I do acknowledge that the blade dancer does have blink as well. In conclusion, it simply feels that warlocks outclass every other class. In both PVE, and PVP. If the warlocks melee range was reduced, or the Titans increased, as well as Titans armor providing a noticeable difference, and changing or nerfing the effects of the ram.

  • I'd agree completely. There are a rare few that can wreck face with a Titan but for the most part that class got shafted in the PVP arena. The new subclass looks to try to change that around a little so we will see.

  • I totally agree with the fruit. I've been a titan since day one and I play the other 2 classes but in pvp titans are at a huge disadvantage. There's been so many times I had to save my fist of havoc to kill a blade dancer or a sunsinger, the super is now a counter super that only gets you one kill at most unless you use the super in control where you can catch people capping the flag

  • The taken king is less than two weeks away. Titans are going to get a new subclass to compete with, and many changes are coming in terms of blink and weapon balance. Just wait

  • What i think should be buffed is the rage of the melee. Maybe even the strenght of the melee. And maybe, just maybe, the bubble needs to be a bit stronger. In the way that it can survive a super but just. Altho what i am scared of is that it will ruin pvp a little. For example it control they can just place a bubble then and know that atleast 2 supers are needed to destroy the bubble.

  • Titans aren't the best, but they're not nearly as bad as he's making them out to be.

  • Probably why sunbreakers look by far the most overpowered, and best in pvp (Fusion grenades, long range one hit kill explosions as a super, with multiple hammers. Standing in a sunspot gives you an overshield, multiple ways to make sunspots, etc) Hunters are finally getting a good PvP class (bladedancers were good for pvp because invis but nightstalker is a full support class, amazing for pve supposedly and great in pvp) And warcocks already had a nice pve and pvp class, so they got flashy sith lord powrs

  • Everybody who says Shoulder Charge is OP... It's not. Ramlocks need a punch afterwards. Shotguns OHK you in the middle of the animation.

    • "bubblebro" lol. I can't take anything that twelve year old with a fruit fetish says seriously. I think other classes need a nerf,instead of the Titan being buffed.

      • I prefer to use my titan in pvp since it has the best jump(blink is broken plain and simple so I don't count it as a jump and it should be stripped from the game.) I like the jump as it has more vertical force/push then the warlock and and It has the best height not counting quad jump hunters. That said everything else sucks on the titan unless your working as a team and even then its lackluster.

        • The new titan sub-class is basically golden gun for Titans, except you can melee with it too.

            • Another PVP crybaby thread. Mr. Fruit is a run-of-the-mill PVP crybaby when Bungie had him do the strike (in which he sucked) he started complaining when they started showing off the Warlock subclass and then caught himself, pathetic -blam!-ing whiney crybaby bitches PVP crybabies are

              • Your saying everything like u know it to be true. It's not true Titans are just fine you just have to know how to take advantage of a classes' perks.

                • The hunter is guranteed 2-4 kills? Haha the hunter super activation is the worst especial golden gun. Your wide open for kills during the super animation and get no kind of overshoes or protection. I've been killed so many times and wasted my super. Fist of havoc is almost impossible to kill when in animation and is so clutch so self res warlocks. Titans are beast by far my favorite in pvp.
