If hunters can dodge right away , why cant barricades and rifts go down right away? Makes no sense.

Honestly make it bigger, cast faster, slightly more HP, and make it a solid object so you can actually wall off areas instead of just sliding through it and taking no damage. Like make it a actual barricade.

Considering hunters get a dodge and titans get a barricade i think you shouldn’t be complaining

The only thing i would complain is the time to cast the shield is too long. Same thing for Warlock's rift. Hunter could dodge instantly to avoid the damage.

Nah, it doesn't need a rework. Towering Barricade is already a good CA for Titans in Crucible - and yes, all I play and main is Titans. Think about it as a zoning tool rather than a panic button, and it'll do you wonders. Enemies pushing through a tight corridor with two paths? Block one off with a Barricade. You can also throw it in doorways and whatnot to give yourself more time or to chokepoint/distract them. Towering Barricade also works well as bait. Wait for an enemy to come close to try to shotgun/melee you, and return the favour with your own shotgun popping out from the front.

Firstly, this is a class ability, it's not supposed to be ridiculously strong, it's supposed to be a tactical ability that can be deployed to help you survive. Secondly, just from what you've just said, anyone will come to the same conclusion; you're using it wrong. You're probably popping it mid firefight while you're on lowish health to try and stay alive. You might have gotten away with this in the old sandbox, as a lot of people did, where the ttk was higher and it thus would have taken longer to finish off the remaining health you had, in turn giving you just about enough time to pop one mid firefight and walk away with a sliver of health. Not anymore, the barricade doesn't take too long to cast, its just easier to kill you mid animation now, especially if you're already being shot at. Yep, people can slide through but this is a high risk high reward maneuver. I do this all the time on my warlock and sliding through will take half of my health and leave me open to being killed by a single melee. Again, this is sort of on you. If you see someone running towards you from the other side of the barricade would you not come to the simple conclusion that this guy wants to and has a way of finishing me? Pop your barricade, BACK UP from it to create enough distance to stop OHKills from shotguns. Grenades do not go through shields. Either you have poor placement or your enemy has good placement. Again, this is a class ability, this isn't meant to be ridiculously OP. Why should your barricade be able to sponge a rocket when most supers can't even do that? This class ability works just fine. You should use it ahead of time and before firefights to really take effect of it. Heavy about to spawn? Barricade. Want to challenge this lane but leaves you open to being shot from this side? Barricade. Want to peek shoot while actually knowing where the enemies head is? Barricade. The list goes on. If an ability isn't working for you yet is being utilized extremely effectively by a lot of other players then it's you that has to mix it up. You that has to get smarter in how and when you deploy it. The barricade doesn't need a buff. You do.

Spash damage also goes through the barricades and the taken Phalanxes can bump you thorugh it as well.

[quote]This thing needs a major rework. It takes too long to cast. I thought barricades main purpose is to block off things? [/quote] This isn’t fortnite. You can’t put it up mid fight and get away [quote] People are sliding straight through my shield and taking me out without taking any damage from the shield.[/quote] No, they jumped over it, or you’re lying, or you were mad and didn’t see it. [quote] Grenades are literally hitting me through my shield. [/quote] AOE grenades do that if placed correctly. [quote] A single rocket blast that doesn’t even hit the barricade directly, destroys it. Just doesn’t take much to destroy it.[/quote] It’s power ammo. It’s supposed to do that.

barricade works great against teams of betas in gambit who hide in the spawn, u can just run up and pop a barricade in front of their prime when its out, and keep flashing a sniper and ADS'ing...they'll be triggered and they will try to just wait out the 30 seconds of invasion time, which is when you run up in their spawn and pull out a sword or Captain America shield. They'll be terrified and totally forget theres a prime theyre supposed to be shooting lol... if u are one of the people who do this when ppl invade in Gambit, u r a scared little child, just saying...i already killed the meatball and got the quest so Gambit is purely for my amusement at this point

Bruh you can run, in fact you can walk straight through my Healing rift in slow motion and Take 0 damage, which by the way takes about the same time to cast if not longer than a Barricade, just think about that for a quick sec Your class ability is not supposed to be a Panic Button, i use my Rift in specific situations, sometimes it works in my favor and sometimes a Titan simply shoulder Charges right through me, and you dont see me crying about it & asking for Reworks, so suck it up

Prime example of a crybaby titan

I have the big barricade set on my Titan. There is nothing like popping that bad boy, standing behind it safely, only to be sniped right through it by that damn Taken Vandal.

If they buff it they need to reset Hunter dodge and give Warlocks holographic bonds from D1
