Being suspended in PvE is absolutely awful. There is NO counterplay at all, for absolutely no reason. When Stasis launched, the counterplay was to shatter yourself out of it, getting you back in the fight at the cost of HP. For Suspend, there’s nothing. You get suspended, your accuracy is terrible, and you’re a sitting duck for ~3s. There’s nothing you can do. Bungie, you added more Stasis and Strand enemies with TFS, but you didn’t add a counterplay to being suspended? Iconoclasm is a nightmare on legend simply because being suspended is a guaranteed death and there’s nothing you can do about it. There’s no reason that you launched Stasis with counterplay mechanics, yet Strand has no counterplay mechanics over a year from launch.
Bungie, don’t listen to the elitists in the comments saying “simply watch the subjugator 24/7” because ignoring every other enemy to focus on the boss is terrible game design, and is going to get me killed just as often as being suspended will. Taking my eyes off a subjugator for 2 seconds shouldn’t result in a death. Do players instantly die after looking away from the boss in a GM for 2 seconds? Then looking away from a subjugator shouldn’t result in one. Let us break out of it.
The counter is to literally dodge it.
The dude does a whole dance and animation before he sends out the slow moving suspend projectiles.
I’m honestly convinced you kids are being paid to cry about every single aspect in the game.
