Bubble is not “oppressive in PvP”. It’s fulfilling its proper and intended role as a defensive super...

...and everyone just sucks at countering it. Written up by u/dtb301 [url=https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/103au5f/bubble_is_not_oppressive_in_pvp_its_fulfilling/]on Reddit.[/url] As a pretty much exclusive Bubble main since day 1, I can promise you it’s not that difficult to counter Ward of Dawn. People walk into my bubble all the time without a plan and expect to kill me. Then, when I immediately kill them, they get upset and say bubble is broken. [i]It’s not.[/i] [b]Here’s a list of (the best) ways to counter it:[/b] -[b]supers [/b](obviously) Thundercrash and nova bomb can both kill the Bubble [i]and Titan inside[/i] with absolutely zero effort. Well of Radiance (yes, seriously). A smart WoR user can almost always beat a bubble. It provides the constant healing THROUGH THE BUBBLE while the enemy titan does not get constant healing even inside. If you drop it just outside the bubble, there’s literally nothing the Titan can do, since they’d have to leave the bubble to destroy the sword, all while you continue to get constant healing [i]while inside of his own bubble.[/i] Blade barrage destroys bubble if all blades hit. Celestial nighthawk can kill the Titan through bubble with a direct hit. Warlock stormcaller’s landfall GOES INTO the bubble while above it. Sentinel shield can just block and kill the Titan even without attacking. Most roaming supers that can spam attack make easy work of the Titan inside. There’s more but those are the easiest. -[b]abilities[/b] If you’re a Titan, you can literally just drop your own barricade inside and it does MUMBO damage to the Titan inside while preventing him from shooting you. Shoulder charge (especially void suppressing shoulder charge) can push the Titan out of the bubble with physics for you to shotgun/punch them immediately after before they can get back into their bubble. Warlock void melee also does this but is harder to do without getting killed by the Titan inside. Any lingering grenade you can throw inside that continues to damage the Titan inside will force them to leave the bubble to regain the overshield. If the Titan drops a barricade inside the bubble, USE IT to prevent them from shooting you: when they try to punch through their barricade to hit you, shotgun them in the face. Hunter smoke grenade is great at disorienting the Titan inside. -[b]weapons [/b][i]Literally any heavy weapon.[/i] Witherhoard and bastion both are probably the best non-heavy options. Bastion can insta-kill and witherhoard can cause strong lingering damage even without a direct hit. Shotguns, especially with one-two punch, are another option but require a bit more effort. If the Titan inside sucks, just use sidearms/SMGs. [b]-overwhelming force[/b] If you don’t suck at PvP, 2 or more people can almost always kill a Titan inside. [b]The only reason people think bubble is overpowered is because of the current game modes’ reliance on zones that need to be captured (trials, control, IB, etc). [/b]However, THIS IS IT’S SOLE PURPOSE OF A SUPER: zone control and defense. Nobody cares when a thundercrash, blade barrage, nova bomb, etc can wipe entire teams in one move. But when a Titan drops a stationary bubble, everyone loses their minds. Arc Titan is objectively unbalanced right now with how incredibly potent all the abilities (super, grenade, and melee) are. The fact I’m seeing more people complaining about bubble (which has many easy counters that I listed above) is pretty hilarious honestly. It’s so easy to disrespect a bubble Titan that I don’t know how people are struggling against it. [b]TL;DR[/b] Stop complaining about Bubble doing its intended job and learn how to counter it. There are much more overpowered things in PvP than someone dropping a bubble on a zone.

  • I don't blame titans in the slightest for spamming bubbles in IB it's exactly how Bungie designed it to be and as a matter of fact I too used the hell out of it when getting my titan set unlocked. I think the only reason people are frustrated is because if you wanted to you could completely ignore the normal zones the entire time as long as you hold the high priority zones when they spawn you will win. Dumbing an entire match down to two rounds of 30ish seconds of super spamming just isn't fun to most people I think
