Not the best iteration of iron banner

Sorry bungie but this version of iron banner is not fun. Here’s why imo. All the titans with bubble and citans. The reason it’s a problem to me is that there is literally no way to counter it during the hunt as all the ways to counter it involve heavy and slower recharging supers like nova or thunder crash. Yeah I can use a shoulder charge to push them out but their whole team is with them in the bubble. A way to fix this is with having the supers have different tiers while in that mode or have the hint start later in the round. Another reason is the meta right now as it’s nothing but scouts, pulses, bows, fusions, and shotgun rushers. This meta is just not fun for anyone as all people do is play passively and not push zones. Plus the people that I’ve encountered that do push with shotguns don’t cap zones and are just worried about killing. A way to fix this is probably have 1 or two zones that move around the map or have the zones be captured by getting kills while inside the zone. Another reason is that the maps are all long range and are all the same ones we have played for ever now. Time for new maps. Another reason is that the matchmaking is to loose for banner. I should not be getting 0.8 kd players as teammates and 1.5 kds as enemies. It definitely needs more testing as it feels to one sided right now. Another reason is due all the titans my teammates run shoulder charge trying to knock me into walls. The last reason is that the weekly booster is for strikes this week. Why strikes during banner?

  • Hold on. You just listed 3 different primaries and 2 different specials.. mind you. Most of those primaries are different archetypes. You DO know metas are when 1 or 2 weapons or 1 or 2 loadouts are used majority of the time, right?? This is a diverse meta we have but it's just undercooked because it's mostly titans and hunters abusing their abilites. Also.. Titans using bubble in this game mode is a strategy.. Just like golden gun is useful during Eruption sometimes. Just because YOU don't like it, doesn't mean it's horrible. At this time, you are just complaining to complain.. Another thing. Void Warlocks and Witherhoard can handle a titan with bubble and barricade. There ARE counters. You just don't want to use them because they aren't "cool" enough

        I think a more interesting mode would be a true king of the hill mode Have 1 giant high scoring control point in the center of the map, and make both teams fight over it the entire match

      • I'm changing my mind, it's not Bungie's fault the game mode is "bad". It's straight up the player's fault. I have no idea how many games I've played over the last 2 days, but it's almost enough to reset my rank, and either no one wants to take objectives, no one wants to go for the Cabal drop cap point, or everyone wants tp split up and ends up flipping the spawns. The players having the most fun in IB are the one's actually playing the objective as a team. Change my mind. And if you that sole player on your team trying to do it all, but can't get any help from your mates, I feel you.

        • I like the mode. I hate the disabled power advantages. Sunset weapons in Iron Banner should NEVER be a thing.

        • Use Blade Barrage as a Counter. Charges just as fast and will likely kill anyone in the Bubble

          • Same -blam!- different week. Citan/bubble titans owning a Playlist because the dev team can't think of anything deeper than a zone that spawns in. And more -blam!- drop rates. I got a seasonal red border weapon to drop from ib before I got a piece of ib armor.

            • OR... They can remove the stupid Tiered SUPER Bull shite. Put them back strictly to Intellect stat. I remember being able to get a super in 4 minutes back then. Now, with 100 Intellect it still takes more than 7. Yes I know INT is dumb to stay into but I have a Super build for all three classes in prep for Lightfall to see how they will act.

            • I’ve had fun with it. Been running Hoarfrost Titan build and I’ve been countering my Sentinel Citan brothers pretty easily. The modes more about controlling areas and sight lines than getting kills and Stasis is amazing for it. Larger maps it kinda falls off tho. If I see an overshield barrier I toss my Glacier grenade on it and they have to shoot mine to clear it out damaging their own in the process.

            • First game I seen a red light from the sky so I stood underneath it hoping I’d get super faster or something 🙈 I got a drop pod on the head 😂 Also when there’s a bubble and 3/4 players in there it’s hard to spot the Titan you need to kill with peregrines to shut the bubble down, I’ve managed it twice now out of about 20 bubbles so things are looking up 🙄😂

            • I played as a six stack last night for a handful of matches and actually really enjoyed myself. We were getting matched mostly against other stacks so it's not like we were just rolling solo players, and most of the matches were actually quite competitive. We were running 1 bubble titan, I was playing ballistic slam titan, and we had three hunters and a warlock. The bubbles we played against were easily countered by team shooting the guy inside, using our own supers, and making sure we were first to the point. That said, the big turret point regularly changed hands in our games. I like that it is very quickly captured and forces you to actually play the point. tl;dr: I'll take this over rift any day. I did like the explosion mode from last season better, though.

            • [quote]All the titans with bubble and citans.[/quote] Contest the point with another bubble, or as you mention, crash it. [quote]This meta is just not fun for anyone as all people do is play passively and not push zones.[/quote] This is a tale as old as time because people just want Clash, and I absolutely abhor Clash. It's not a balance or gameplay issue, it's a player issue. [quote]Another reason is that the maps are all long range and are all the same ones we have played for ever now.[/quote] We have maps that are close range or encourage close range fights to get to at least one or more objectives, including: - Burnout - Vostok - Cauldron - Convergence - Altar of Flame [quote]Another reason is due all the titans my teammates run shoulder charge trying to knock me into walls.[/quote] This isn't an Iron Banner issue. You're grasping for reasons now.

              • Citans is pretty easily countered. Shoot the barrier. It has pretty low health. Use barrier mods and hakke breach armaments. Insta nuke if a couple people are shooting. As a bubble titan main. There are a ton of counters to the bubble. Any one and done super destroys it. Except for stasis hunter, it has to be cast inside the bubble to have an effect. All area denial grenades force the titan to dance in and out of the bubble to refresh the over shield. Very vulnerable if you get a grenade inside the bubble. Withorhaord by far is the most effective against a bubble. Land a shot on the edge and they lose half the bubble, get one in the middle and the bubble is useless. Stick the titan with one and they die no matter what. One to punch shotguns counter the titan inside. Well of radiance is stronger than the bubble and has the same cool down. Destiny is a game of rock paper scissors. Stop playing only rock if the enemy is using paper. Tldr: learn the the counters as there are many. It's not nearly as strong as you think

                • Is see 3 turrets… and a capture point… So where is the Fortress 😂😂😂 unless the idea was to hold and defend the capture point… and only because of that you (Bungie) called it… Fortress… Honestly this looks stupid and boring… Instead of “inventing a square wheel” how about you give us a fresh new map for IB each season (in addition to a new seasonal map for general crucible, and also a new map for Trials). That would be way more fun that this garbage of a game mode… Having 3 new maps each season (1 for QP, 1 for IB and 1 for Trials)… That ladies and gentlemen should be a standard each season in this game. Instead we get… Fortress 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

                  • - increase XP in IB instead of being small for losing. This will take so long to rank up even to get to Legend. - Add more challenging enemies instead of just turrets. - Fortress should be in PvP rotation instead of in Iron Banner. - Takes a while to neutralize and then capture a point if only one person is there compared to three players. Increase the neutralization/capture if more than 2 are there. - Heavy needs a better time instead of waiting for a long time.

                  • To be honest the biggest problem is bungie thinking that the majority of people want objectives. Most of the time people seem to concentrate on killing each other and ignore the objective, even if that gives no advantage. Most people seem to complain if there's an objective besides simply killing each other so why bother? It only frustrates anyone trying to play the objective anyways

                  • You... You guys know you can destroy Bubbles with gun fire? It was changed BECAUSE people demanded more counters to it outside of supers. Just team shoot the bubble for 10-14s and its gone.

                    • It's ok but this why I hate objective modes in this game Players don't know how to play the objective, you see one pacific exotic weapon every objective mode match and the mode basically caters to one class
