Enough said.
1) My favorite weapon type, Pulse Rifles, are now overpowered. Messenger and Red Death are ridiculous and I refuse to use them in this current state. Every good PvP player knew pulse rifles would be overtuned if left unchanged. You made all of these great weapon changes in 2.0 yet left the elephant in the room alone, so now we're stuck with the equivalent of Thorn/TLW 2.0 for who knows how many months. The weapon balance in this game feels great until someone on the other team starts using one of these two weapons. Pulse rifles need to be scaled back. Please don't take 6 months to do this.
2) However, that's not my real problem. My main gripe is the fact that Stormcaller and Sunbreaker are completely overpowered in 6v6 PvP and they've taken what little skill was left out of this game. See, before these supers were introduced, every "mobile" super had a down side: Golden Gun had no damage resistance and Bladedancer required melee range.
With the introduction of Stormcaller/Sunbreaker, this balance has been completely ruined; there's no weakness to either of these supers, especially Sunbreaker - [b]both supers are mobile, both supers are ranged and both supers have damage resistance.[/b] Hammer of Sol freaking tracks its targets for crying out loud. In a 6v6 environment these supers are simply broken, especially with randoms. Nightstalkers only make a trivial difference without coordination, and even then it won't be enough.
I've never been so frustrated with this game's PvP than I have been for the last week. I could deal with the idiocy that was Thorn and bugged TLW. I could deal with the laser beam that was Suros back at release. I could deal with Felwinter's sniper. However, the current state of things is just too much. Every time I see one of these classes pop their super, they almsot always manage to get 4-5 kills. These new supers need to be tuned, period. [b]There's a reason that Golden Gun didn't have damage resistance [/b]- because everyone and their mother knew that it would be retardedly broken. Yet, that's exactly what you've given Sunbreakers and (for the most part) Stormcallers.
inb4 this post is downvoted by a bunch of 1.0 KDR Titans who act as if Striker wasn't a fantastic PvP spec already

I don't know why the -blam!- you whiners always say they "NEED" to do this or that. That's your opinion you dipshit

2 RepliesI have to admit it's absolutely hilarious how hypocritical Titans are being about their super but it's a super. I'll admit though something should be done about the defense but just a tiny bit. Every super has their counter if not you're just unlucky for one death. >gg cover >bladedancer run >nova bomb u dead >foh u dead too >hos run >storm caller run >nightstalker u still alive I don't see what the big deal is? Lol I main a hunter btw.

Fake ass shit. Golden gun is just a thorn with a one shot kill. You can just sit and hide behind cover. One shot anyone from any -blam!-in distance and bitch when someone else can kill as easily
-
I'm not saying sun breaker is OP. Because it's not lol But ever time I pop my super, I literally just walk down the middle of a map and instant 4 kills😂 when will idiots learn to not run directly at a super? I don't remember running towards a gg or bd EVER!

Edited by Estinien | Sora | Ahsoka: 9/26/2015 4:33:07 PMIt's not OP. You throw one hammer and 1/5 of your super energy is gone

If this isn't satire he probably isn't familiar with what it used to be

1 ReplyPVP in this game has just become so unenjoyable, which is sad given where it started back with the beta and vanilla launch. I used to love PVP in this game, but now it is almost a chore to go in and play for the daily marks. Bungie has no clue how to balance this game which is sad considering they are responsible for Halo PVP.

Do you not remember year one crucible? Thorns, last words and blade dancers as far as the eye can see. This is more balanced. Id rather see pulse rifles being utilized than busted handcannons 2 shotting everything

12 RepliesWho thinks crucible is fine the way it is right now?
-
Just wait for iron banner. No one will use any year one weapons.
-
Sense ttk I don't play crucible unless a quest makes me. It is not fun.
-
It's always been a skill-less crap show.
-
>Reads post >mfw I shut down Storm Trance and Hammer of Sol with Golden Gun easily.
-
I know right! Now it is so fun, I have a chance. Maybe if I don't get sniped/golden gunned/throned after i take a step I will be able to get gud or whatever you parrots say.
-
Yea it's not like it was 80% golden gun hunters with thorn/last word with an OP shotgun pre taken King
-
There was hardly any skill even before TTK. Aim assist and easy kills and maps that cater to shotguns made everything basically static and easy.
-
Cause you know crucible wasn't like broken or anything before all that HAHAHAHAH......Thorn.
-
And it wasn't before TTK?!

1 ReplyEdited by DivineCadaverOG: 9/21/2015 8:07:34 PMTitans are op asf I have literally only killed one or two while in super... it's that mf health regen.. I know people will compare it to hungering blade but let's be real... can you throw a giant flaming freaking arc blade at someone and regen health? No. Is storm caller broken? SOMETIMES when I wipe entire teams clumped up across the sniping point on pantheon. Does it make me feel good? YES. But I've been rekt so many times while using stormtrance it's not an instant kill and sometimes can be a rather slow killing super compared to hammers and GG. So. What's the problem? Don't like what ppl are using in the crucible? Use something to counter it or don't play. But thinking that them "patching" "debuffing" etc things that you don't like will make you somewhat better or die less is a fantasy. Keep up with the meta dude. That's with any game.. There are going to be things that are better than others.. make a titan for Christ sake they're fun as shit.

My only complaint about crucible is the shotgun. Shotguns are way OP and I can't believe you didn't mention them in your rant.
-
Why don't they just take out the crucible and just add a link the COD section of PS store?
-
1 ReplyI main a Titan so maybe I am biased, but I think it's incredibly easy to evade a sunbreaker unlike evading a gold gun. Also, I've had a year of being slashed by invisible blade dancers or being killed in a blink of an eye with a golden gun (or its damn combustion) and have never once complained about it. Hunters aren't the alphas in pvp anymore, get over it.

1 Replythe way I see it is that [i]Only other supers can completely/easily shut down someone elses super[/i]
-
Old Supers like Nova Bomb, Golden Gun, Fist of Havoc, while maybe not raking up as many kills each use, can easily shut down Sunbreaker/Stormcallers.
