Why are all these people over crediting the titan? When warlocks do everything they can but better? Bungie likes to call titans the melee class when warlocks have the best melees in every aspect, from the range, to the lack of lunge
Titans being the best at rushing is completely situational, if it's a long corridor or hall ways the Titan basically has the advantage. They cannot rush in the open, due to the exploitation of juggernaut, linear and predictable movement
If they are rushing you, literally just move out of the way, I'm not even being a jerk, strafing sideways is a titans biggest weakness, they have almost no ways to turn properly
And guess what? When they use shoulder charge to turn or garrison, you won, because they just waisted the shoulder charge
Juggernaut is very weak too, just shoot under it if they are flying at you, and over it if you have the high ground. If they do get close, they have to still ready their weapon to shoot you, this is when you kill them
Just because they have the most hp does not make them the tank class
In overwatch, Lucio is much harder to kill than reaper, Lucio only has 200 hp while reaper has 250, but Lucio can recover health easily, this does not make him a tank simply because he can eat more bullets
A true tank class is one who can consistently defend themselves or their team, without having to get a kill, such as using a large shield, projecting a temporary shield onto themselves or others so they may jump in the way for a teamate to defend from fire, or have high hp counts to use their mass or high hp to take damage for teamates
Titans only have a small amount of extra health that hardly makes a difference in time to kill. Juggernaut it does not cement titan as a tank simply because it is easily exploited, cannot be used to take fire for a teamate (only in extreme cases), and cannot be place on a teamate.
Titans have ward of dawn that defends teamates from fire sure but it is also easily destroyed by other supers, and also is only used to control traffic (that is not a tank role). It can also be used to add over shields and extra damage, which is considered support. For example Lucio can give his team 800 health during his super in overwatch, but he is still the designated healer and not a tank
Defenders still aren't the tank class, since force barrier requires you to get a kill to activate it, and cannot be used to defend your team, last time I checked, hunters and warlocks can regenerate health on melee kills, and sunsinger can also get an overshield, increased survivability does not make them tank classes.
Defender defends his team by denying supers and having abilities to increase survivability, not by taking all the damage for his team and preventing it
As for sunbreaker, no neutral game does not making for a very good class. might as well us stormcaller for a good roaming super. It's got a snipe melee, bolt nades, fast charging super and abilites, and the best roaming super in the game. More agile, easy to use, more effective, lasts longer, chains to others, and even allows you to blink.
Titans and hunters need their respective buffs

I've always thought the same thing OP.

Edited by H_TOWN_BALLA_80: 8/26/2016 1:42:55 PMI like Titans where they are :) Please don't try to throw us Warlocks under the bus though :( Warlocks definitely cannot do what Titans can do. Landfall is nowhere near analogous to FoH for more reasons than I care to list for the hundredth time. Our melee has range but that's it. In the heat of battle that melee is so damn slow trying to get a second one in, that you can damn near make dinner in between melee's. When you come back from making dinner and can finally throw that second melee, the Titan or Hunter you were facing already got in 2 melee's and killed you. Also, we can't skate and don't have anything close to the Lightning Grenade. I have a 335 on all 3 classes and my Titan is my second favorite so again, I like Titans where they are. SC for days lol! Just saying, make your point without bringing 'Locks into it. If anything bring in Hunters. Those guys seems to love to react here on the forums. ;)

Edited by antiviper80: 8/26/2016 2:11:58 AMExactly dude, it's really pissing me off. They are defiantly not the easiest class to use. Hunters on the other hand..

Well thought out and articulated, nice post.

Solid post.

Edited by Aqua: 8/26/2016 7:19:48 PMTitans have the most overpowered melee in the game. Damage is insane. One hit kill spamming melee to. Warlocks melee have range because they are the mage class, but it is slower and does less damage the Titan Melees. and Lack of Lunge? Are you 5 years old? That doesn't make any sense to put that on a mage class. Titans and Hunters have that because it their melees are actual physical attacks.

I don't get it, what's the purpose of this thread. How is this feedback?

Bring back t-garrison. 2 evades again. I miss that so much. I don't use my Titan near as much as I used to.
