Since this has been the standard rebuttal to people wanting some slight changes to the overturned Hammer of Sol, there were a few things I wanted to say:
1) The sentence in my title might sound witty, but is sadly off topic.
Neither does it follow any logic, nor is it an argument.
It's the thing you say when you have nothing else to say.
2) Especially hunters having had the strongest PvP classes overall, should know when something is over tuned.
When the Hunter mains start to complain that something is too strong, you know that we have a balancing problem.
It's like playing Counter Strike and AK 47 users complaining, that the new ZyX gun is too strong. They used one of the strongest guns in the game for years. They know what they talk about.
Edit:
Since a lot of people have trouble to understand this point as it was intended, I will add a little note.
Of note:
I am talking about what was the baseline for an OP super. I am not talking about what *should* be OP.
The baseline in Y1, even after several nerfs, of what is considered OP, were Hunter supers.
The new baseline for OP is the Hammer of Sol.
3) All supers have some forms of checks and balances.
Arcblade is mobile and does solid damage, yet it has no range. Golden Gun has the range, mediocre mobility, but 0 defense.
The Hammer of Sol however, has everything. It has very high damage output, very high defenses and adequate mobility.
Nothing balances it in the way other mobile supers are balanced.
4) A Titan main, telling a Hunter main, that his opinion is invalid concerning this subject, is pretty much the definition of irony.
Going down that route simply makes you look like a clown.
5) Luke Smith himself says that the damage resistance might be a bit too much and the he is over performing with the Sunbreaker, for a PvP player on his skill level.
(Kotaku Podcast, min 45-47)
6) Most people saying "git gud and learn to counter it" with their 1.01 KD (or worse) and other very mediocre stats, should stop thinking that they understand the game mechanics. These people are not on any level to give that kind of advice.
7) Cue the insults, call me whiny and tell me how I am a hunter main (even though I mained a Voidwalker for the PvP for quite some time before TTK hit the shelves).
Nothing of these things invalidate anything I said here.
Edit
Thanks to some great input, I want to add:
8) People going around and telling other users that they should simply stop whining, don't understand an integral part of this discussion:
This is not about personal grief, getting killed by a HoS user or anything else along the lines.
This is about the game's balance. And wanting a certain baseline that resembles what we call balance, has nothing to do with whining.
Edit 2:
Over 2000 posts, more than 100 upvotes and a lot of people staying rational and understanding what I wanted to say.
Thank you for the participation guys.
I definitely have more hope for the majority of this community, than I had before.
Keep the comments coming!

3 OdpowiedziI just don't understand how people get extremely emotional over a small balancing tweak. This goes for both sides of the coin. Tweak the hyperarmour for Sunbreaker to match Stormcaller/Bladedancer. Its not as if the people who are giving logical suggestions are demanding for SB to be nerfed to the ground.

22 OdpowiedziGive it bladedancer levels of damage resistance. Shotgun melee should be able to shut it down

Someone should make that one meme of the retarded dog and Photoshop a titan's head over the dog and it should say " Hammer of Sol isn't OP" and they guy like " oh no, it's retarded!".

Hallelujah this post!!!

2 OdpowiedziI just have the mindset that hunters for a long time were the most used class so the chances of you having dumb people was much greater than the other classes.. Sadly titan is becoming most popular so now the chances of dumb people posting stuff about titans is much higher.

This is all it would take in the patch notes: - Hammer of Sol damage reduction changed to be more in line with other supers.

I laugh at the stupidity. Also: "This account has not played Destiny" Also: You misunderstand the term "irony"

3 OdpowiedziWho cares. You probably main a hunter.

Supers are the best way to cancel another super, so far hunters, golden gun in particular, is the end all be all for countering another super. If you really want to -blam!- one guardian, in his/ her super, in particular use Celestial Nighthawk. Guaranteed to work every time. Every time I do that I drink from my chalice of tears ;).

Bladedancer was op, but sunbreaker is just ridiculous....
-
2 OdpowiedziJust because hunters have the strongest pvp classes doesn't mean their vote means the highest. You guys had arc blade, and the golden gun, I don't care what people say, those are some damn good supers, then they got nerfed, because they were simply too powerful. You guys said they weren't, or at least 2/5 of you did, which means not every hunter is a pvp genius. Every class has an evenly weighed vote in crucible, as it should be. Not just the people with the one shot gun, and the lighting knife, or the people with the flaming hammer. And I main a Titan. I say all classes should be equal, and all classes should have equal input on crucible.

Well said. Glad to see a calm and understanding player. I agree that the armor needs a tweak. I think something similar to a self-rez sunsinger. I feel that something with that much range should still die to a single medium-high sniper shot. I am currently doing only 150ish damage with a shot to the head, which is way too low. Just my opinion.

1 OdpowiedźIn my opinion it possibly needs an armor debuff other than that it's fine. People saying it's a tank class you're wrong. Defender is the tank, striker is a one shot dps skill and sunbreaker is our burst of dps, you can't just say nerf the amount of hammers and or the damage from etc. It's a dps class but I know there may be some tweaks that are necessary. Also if a wlnerf were to happen leave pve alone it's perfectly fine the real concern is pvp
-
6 OdpowiedziMaybe a tweak to the armor...overall it's not too bad. Two blows from a shotgun and they're down, but it's hard to get a hit on them without them noticing and burning you with a hammer first. It's definitely a little too strong but it's not like it's ridiculously OP.

3 OdpowiedziEdytowany przez użytkownika ChikenTheBaka: 9/29/2015 12:39:33 PMI actually agree to this, our supers are a bit too strong right now if they lower our armor to where we can be on part with other supers I would enjoy it. [spoiler]Also love how you noticed how op the ak is in Cs.(Just look out for the p90 rushers :^)[/spoiler]

1 OdpowiedźThe super itself isn't OP it's the build that you can use that is OP, Hammer of Sol wouldn't be as OP as it is now without their ForgeMaster Perk(Increases amount of hammers and Blast Radius) and Cauterize (Health Back when you get a kill) and the reason you can't 1 shot this super with snipers or GG is probably because of the maxed Armor stat. Just think about there's OP loadout me for each class, the sunsinger has the Tank Build, the Voidwalker has the Nova Bomb Spammer build, The Arc Blade with Razors Edge and hungering blade, The Striker with Unstoppable and Shockwave, the Defender with Armor of light and Bastion, GG itself is OP minus the non health buff and damage drop off without the perk, I have not used NightStalker and StormCaller but I'm pretty sure they have they're OP loadout as well. The last thing I want to say is that if you stay in the same area while my HoS is active you deserved to die by it because I have played with a lobby of highly skilled opponent and they found a way to either evade me or best me when they didn't even have they're own super, you just gotta play smart when you see a HoS.
