Summoning your Primeval 1st should be an advantage but it’s not.

A significant advantage. There is no reason to summon your Primeval first. In fact, it’s MUCH more often than not worse to do so. The team that summons first gets significantly less invasions and has to deal with the blockers. With Taken goblin blockers shielding the Primeval and envoys. If a team summons theirs when the other team has less than 30 motes, it should be a shoe-in. Chances are though that it will actually cost you the match. You’ll spend the majority of the time just having your Primeval healed until the other team summons theirs and then it literally only takes a single enemy invasion where they get a couple of kills and you’ve already lost. This is especially worse on Emerald Coast because that map is WAY too small. Gambit is broken. Prime is better but still broken because of this. I’ve said this since the original Gambit first dropped. BOTH team’s Primevals should arrive at the same time and the team responsible for summoning them should get an advantage for doing so. That’s how it needs to be arranged. Trying to rank up once you hit Legend is excruciating because of how broken this is.

  • Typically the team that summons first wins because you don't start building stacks until you summon it. Sure they can invade that's part of Gambit if or when they summon theirs you can invade back. Also don't be a dork and waste your super on them right away unless you're a tether hunter. Build up some stacks wait for the invasion then burn the boss after you kill the invader. It's a pretty easy concept.

  • Gambit is designed for one thing: to prolong player engagement time. And that's just not fun.

    • The longer a Primeval is alive the more damage you do to it.

    • I stopped taking Gambit as a fun mode once people started using things like Sleeper and bad teams started popping up. Only do it for the powerful rewards and calus bounty, that's it. Not very enjoyable otherwise, and just too frustrating.

    • Infinite Motes can be deposited, Timer, Once time has ended the team with the least motes deposited has to a fight a primeval with more health, Invasion gates open at the same time at end after 30 secs if nobody enters them, Team Wipe via invader kills grant that specific player a rechargeable over shield that lasts until death.

      • Stop playing it then. That’s what I did with Crucible too. Gambit and Crucible will be garbage as long as people keep playing.

        • I feel like if you're summoning first and still losing, the other team has a good invader, and probably your team doesnt. Legend rank is pretty easy now with all of the bounties available.

          • When you’re grinding for infamy ranks, don’t turn in any of your drifter bounties until Legend. That way you’ll get a ton of infamy all at once.
