Titan Skating in Forsaken

I think we need to keep an eye on this on PC in September. It hasn’t been too bad, but with one hit shoulder charges coming back and shotguns everywhere, I’m a little concerned about the viability of other classes and play styles that [i]don’t[/i] rely on an exploit. No nerfs. Keep everything OP. But this is actually a bug, has been banned in tournaments, and most people use a macro instead of the scroll wheel. Food for thought. We’ll have to see how it plays out.

  • I would highly appreciate if Bungie remove titan skating entirely as a thing. And it's easy to do, just adding a small pause between titan strafe jump. I'm not using titan skating cause it's an exploit and getting very frustrated being stomped in competitive by highly aggressive teams full of skating shotgunning "apes" with one eyed masks. Titan skating is a very powerful mobility tool that should not exist - you can run away from any supers as well as you can pursuit anyone increasing the effectiveness of your super. Completely broken mechanics that Bungie allows to exist cause (assuming their logic) PC player base is only 1/3 - that's fine. That's fine meme.gif

    Its just funny how ppl defend their skating. I main titan, and skating is fckin stupid. It ruin half of pvp game. (talking about comp, in quickplay u can go with grey items and rock..) Melee supers are useless agaist it, cause he will run 3x faster than u. Thanks skating its useless use sidearms or smgs, cause before u hit some optional ttk je will be on u in blink of eye and just shotty u and we can continue. But i guess kids want they exploits to feel powerful. Anybody who play comp atleast a little seriously, know its just cheap. Edit: Even speedruners dont use it, and thats only PvE. Cause they know its cheap and exploit.

  • But titans are underpowered bruh didn't you hear? They need every exploit and buff they can get. Rant incoming. Seriously though, ok OHK charges on all 3 subclasses, little annoying but fine. Now what I want for my warlock is simple. Flame shield (dawnblade), 30 health on melee (voidwalker) and actual melee lunge/range boost (stormtrance). If anyone is going to whine about that, what is even wrong with you? I'm not asking for anything game breaking, only what's fair. If titans get the biggest buffs in the game while hunters get one tap tethers (which is fair of course), why not give warlocks some love too? Voidwalkers got the biggest knife in the ribs when D2 launched. Strikers got the biggest and most rediculous buff ever. They have a roaming super and unlike every other roaming super they don't have to activate it before use. They get a guaranteed kill for the most part followed then by the roaming super, now with 6v6 on tiny maps, they're quite strong. That's not to say they're OP of course, just very strong. Now warlocks got dawnblade to replace the sunsinger which was lackluster in D1 anyway, good. Then stormtrance got a massive nerf to duration and melee range with ability and finally voidwalkers. Scatter grenade still bounces rather than detonate on impact (bug since D1) No roaming super until September. Devour is neat and all but given the speed of things it's currently not something I'd bother with tbh. Slowva bomb was a huge disappointment and still is (axions after main blast turn too slowly and more often than not hit the ground and do nothing). Consuming super energy for a stronger grenade that does nothing is literally worthless and has no use. Vortex nades push enemies away so no point in using that, scatters bounce as said above and axions are not a PvE grenade. I could go on about how little love warlocks have gotten up to this point but you either read this long list and understand even if you don't agree 100%, or you're a titan main who will disregard everything and point out how titans were being ignored by bungie for longer even though all evidence points to the contrary. TL;DR titans are fine, always were fine aside from a couple of small buffs to some exotics to help them (which bungie we're working on anyway). Warlocks have in fact been ignored and given little to no love when taking into account the state of voidwalkers since launch. Thanks for reading.

        • Cry some more hunter. My titans shoulders will drip with your blood and tears come forsaken. FYI bottom tree arcstriders have been op easy mode for 8 months now and before that it was nightstalker meta.

          •I know everyone likes to think that hunters are getting shafted if titans can skate. 100% NOT TRUE. Think of it like this: hunters are light, nimble assassins. They specialize in acrobatics and shifty movement as a means of winning fights. Titans are an unstoppable force of pure momentum. Like a bullet train. •I scroll wheel skate on my Titan (because I believe macros are unfair) But simply using a different key binding is not cheating imo. •Titans are meant to be good at closing the gap quickly across a horizontal distance with skating, where as hunters are designed to abuse their vertical shifty movement to win duals against the ground dwellers. Warlocks are just slow through and through. That’s the cost of being a space wizard I guess. •Since skating isn’t available to every Titan, and warlocks suck ass atm... the meta class is clearly hunter. It’s obvious that skating is supposed to be a part of the Titan kit to begin with. Otherwise no one will play them.

          Here's my issue: It seems like Bungie struggles to determine what Titans are really supposed to be. You can either make them slow and powerful or faster and weaker. You cannot have the good of both, because that makes the game unbalanced. Skating does exactly that, and it was a HUGE problem in D1.

        • It’s going to break crucible. Already does in Rumble. I’ve been facing titans who hoard shotgun ammo and just rush by skating. They need patch this, or else it’s going to ruin everyone’s experience who doesn’t play Titan on pc.

          • Since when has Titan skating been banned in tournaments? I remember players using it throughout all of Destiny 1, tournaments included.

                    • The only reason it's a slight issue is that Hunters, who are forced to have the worst stat in the game on their armor, are the slowest class, with no means of moving faster. Warlocks can't quite compete with Catapault Lift, but they can at least get a little movement going. Speed up hunters a little bit and there really isn't an issue.

                      • You need to add good movement increases the only thing that happened in the “go fast” update was the dawn made movement increase, all the other things that were promised never made any difference we want to be able to move quickly and efficiently come on bungie I wanna be fast again
