Ophidians and synthoceps
I’m just wondering if synthoceps are getting that melee range nerf like the ophidians? Or if this is just more warlock shaming crap bungie stays doing. They’ve got more range, and more damage under the right conditions. Synthoceps can literally drop a 6 man fireteam by itself, and the melee range is slightly better.

5 RepliesCan you stop acting as if people were using Ophidians for the extra 1m of melee range? They were used to give Quickdraw to every gun for free. And they'll still do that with no problem.

Melee class go brrt.

1 ReplyOphidians is still going to be a strong pick without the lunge range. Most of its appeal in PvP is the buff to all weapons with zero investment or downside. That’s something synthos doesn’t provide, and therefore it would be a strange decision to nerf synthos in the same manner

1 ReplyWell, according to you guys (warlocks) and Bungie, we’re the punching class. We’re the “one with the fist on the cover of the game” to directly quote Bungie on why all of our supers are roaming+melee based. Don’t try to backtrack it now because it actually benefits us for once.

33 RepliesEdited by The Hermit IX: 5/16/2023 7:00:48 PMI think they don’t want any class using exotics for extended melee. So it won’t be shocking to see. I also think they will be making damage perks cap at 25% and not stacking with surge. They seem to be making the changes in waves but all are pointed to the same overall guidelines.

Edited by HelloImBradIy: 5/17/2023 7:16:48 PMThey should if Bungie actually believes in the points they are trying to get across. Unfortunately, most of Bungies concepts don't go the distance. It's an adjustment based off usage rate and tear volume and not the true logic of the issue. My point; If you are going to nerf Melee Range on Ophidians then you need to remove it from all other mechanics. Any exotic or buff that increase melee "snap-to" needs to be removed as it's broken across the board. Not just Ophidians. And to prove non-bias for Warlocks - If you are going to sell a stompee nerf by saying "looking up is too hard" then you have to remove Heat Rises as well. Makes zero sense to smack Stompees but let Warlocks float 1,000 feet in the air freely. Go all the way or not at all.

They balance on pick rates go into trials tracker and you'll see 42% of warlocks had ophidians . Guess what else was in the top 5 : dunes and stompes . They see a high pick rate and that's an incoming nerf. When synthos remains top 5 for too long it too will be on the chopping list

2 RepliesWhen is icarus dash getting remove or put together with the warlocks class ability?
-
2 RepliesSynthocepts won't be touched. They don't appear among the Exotics getting reworked, nerfed od buffed. Probably because due the fact that Titans' Melee is going to be nerfed by itself Bungie doesn't consider that this Exotic needs to be nerfed too.
-
6 RepliesSynthoceps are purely a melee exotic. It doesn't make sense to remove it from them, especially when they aren't nearly as dominant or prevalent as Ophidians. Ophidians are a weapon-focused exotic that just happened to have extra melee range, too. Didn't make sense and made them just too good all around. I'm glad they get to keep the handling/reload/AE because that's what their purpose is.

Everybody class getting nerfed next season, woohooo…
