POV Bungie: Titans are too meta in PvP with their SMG Sniper PK builds... Let's nerf Synthoceps!
I don't understand why Synthoceps got nerfed so hard. As a titan PvP main I love being able to run around and shotgun-punch stuff, it's the primary identity of a crayon-eating titan main.
While Synthoceps are good, they aren't THAT good, I rarely die due to Synthoceps and they're not used that much. Peacekeepers, Dunemarchers, etc are all used much more frequently. I really don't understand why Bungie decided to *completely* remove the melee range buff. Synthoceps are now pretty much useless in PvP (like the vast majority of all other Titan exotics), because the surrounded buffs very rarely proc in PvP.
Plus, Ophidian Aspect on warlocks gives you the same melee range PLUS they give you a ton of handling all the time, not just when you're surrounded, so warlocks just have an objectively much better Synthoceps... I hope Bungie decides to revert this change, at least in PvP. It's a fun exotic and it isn't in any way game breaking, it just makes the monke playstyle a bit more consistent.

With anything regarding shotguns they had to get them into a position where they have room to grow in order for pvp to move in a more competitive direction. Like seiryoku was saying too much of what titans were doing was resulting in slop that you couldn't make sense out of. Titans are not going to end up bad because they're like hunters now where they can't really be all bad as long as they have even a portion of the skill set they were given over the last year and a half.

No. They have been rubberbanding non sense for years. This was a great change.

1 ReplyOphidians melee range has been removed, they are changing synthoceps after they changed ophidians. Not to mention, synthoceps give you amazing melee damage when surrounded AND super damage. You only get reload and handling for warlock.

Ophidians don’t get melee range anymore. While synthoceps where not the most pressing issue on titans, they were still an issue. If they are gonna remove the melee range in ophidians for the reason “Melee range bonuses cause the game to break”, they had better do it for the other things that give bonus range.
