Quick idea, struck me while playing Gambit with some clanmates yesterday.
Make the invasion portal open when the /other/ team hits mote milestones. This would shift the invasion focus from curbstomping teams before they curbstomp you to countering teams to help yours catch up.
Honestly, no idea how this would balance out. At the very least it would shift importance away from the first invasion, which presently dictates basically the entire match.
Additionally... get rid of the damn heavy boxes. Enough heavy drops to matter for the pve aspect typically, and all it does is guarantee that the invader has Gjallarhorn/EoT/Sleeper or what have you.
However, as someone who likes to invade, I'd rather not make my preferred role legitimately useless.
As it stands, the first invasion is way too important. On the other hand, most teams can easily nuke a primeval with barely any stacks of slayer buffs, and even if you get a 4k the first invasion after boss summon the boss typically dies before the portal even reopens.
Potential solution: Increase both health, reduce or remove the effect of healing the primeval on invasion kills... and instead make kills/multikills remove stacks of Primeval Slayer.
Honestly these are kinda long shots, but Gambit needs some substantial overhauls to make enjoyable enough to grind. Yeet.

Gambit needs to live! I finally completed Dregden recently and had a ball doing it. I don’t even mind the Gjally and EoT spammers, just wish they sort out the primeval cheesing.

7 RepliesI love Gambit and am ok with how everything works up to the primeval. You shouldn’t be able to delete a boss like that. The Thundercrash Titan builds and the hammer throw builds are crazy. Make the bosses all work like Meatball, going immune with a mechanic - maybe when the wizards spawn the boss goes immune. Would ensure there is more teamwork and strategy, and give teams more of a chance to catch up.

Best rework for Gambit: let it die the miserable death it deserves
