Uhhh, no. He doesn't reload. He killed him in 8 shots and... While dodging two hammers. Five shots knocked out his shields, the grenade dealt no damage, and the final three shots killed him. In sum, five TLW shots lower a Sunbreakers shield, and eight (I.e., a TLW mag/cylinder) kills it. The whole engagement took seconds and the almighty Sunbreaker was taken down by a single person. Much dmg resist. Such OP.

  • [quote] the grenade dealt no damage[/quote] It did 27 damage, and the full clip from the most overpowered hand cannon ever to grace the land still [i]barely [/i]killed him. Without that glancing 27, he would have lived. Also, as I said and you failed to respond to, that guy[i] was an idiot[/i]. He ran towards the guy with TLW and tried to hit him directly instead of going for splash, then [i]tried to flee[/i] instead of, you know, throwing more burning death hammers at him. TLW would have killed him three times over out of super with those hits. Your point is entirely invalid as you're using a rare case as evidence, refusing to acknowledge the strength of the weapon used and the incompetence of the Sunbreaker presented.

    How the guy played it out is irrelevant. The point to be taken from it is the dmg resistance. 8 bullets and "27 damage." Lots of weapon kill in four shots, TLW being one of them. This means the dmg resist on SB is the same as BD which is nothing new. Four more bullets to kill them. Speaking of proof, though, you don't have any that he would have survived sans the 27 dmg.

    No, that's means damage resistance is 100 percent more than normal because it took twice as long to kill him. You would need twice as much armor/damage reduction Learn math

  • [quote]How the guy played it out is irrelevant.[/quote] [i]Nope, I'm done.[/i] This is like trying to convince an athiest that God is real. I may as well beat my head on a dumpster.

    A great analogy. It completely applies. Be the guy good or be the guy bad the damage he takes is the same!

  • So, you're saying it doesn't matter if TripleWreck killed a Sunbreaker that just got his game last week, it's usable as baseline for expectation? I'm obviously exaggerating, but you see my point, yes? I mean, you cannot seriously believe player skill doesn't play into it on both sides here. If you did, you'd be able to also expect everyone to be able to quickscope people.

  • Oh so if triplewreck is running Sunbreaker when someone shoots at him with TLW the shots will do less damage. Gotcha. Of course player skill is going to be a factor...so you're saying better players are what's op?

  • If you're going to keep twisting my words, I'm not playing.

  • It's not about twisting words. Your argument is basically, "the only reason that Titan died so easily is that he was a scrub. A good Titan would have wrecked b/c the Sunbreaker is OP." By that logic, using the inverse, I could say "when I run Sunbreaker I only get two kills. Titans are not OP!" That's why using a good vs bad player as the measuring rod is a terrible way to analyze the video. The point remains that, regardless of who plays, eight TLW shots are enough to put down a Sunbreaker. The damage dealt is a constant. The potential to kill them one vs one is there. If you can't do it it's your own fault, not the Titan's.

    Yeah, that's my argument, more or less, [i]and that is exactly the point.[/i] Yes, he can die. However, the Hunter would have been so many solar particles at the proximity needed to properly bring Last Word to bear if the Titan had actually known how to engage the Hunter properly with the power at his fingertips. You're not going to bend, though, and neither am I. So! Fact time: The Sunbreaker is the only offensive Super, at base value, that one cannot down with naught but a single Sniper Rifle shot with sufficient impact, a direct rocket hit or a direct strike from another offensive Super (at also base level). This is the basis for almost everyone's argument at its core. The power isn't OP by itself, it's the degree of extra plating that the thing gets. I have to get closer as a Stormcaller than the Sunbreaker does to engage with my Super, maintain [i]sustained fire[/i] to achieve a kill and have less armor in Super mode. Sunbreakers can sling those hammer a fair way. I'm not saying nerf the piss out of the poor Sunbreaker, I'm saying make him play by the same rules as the rest of the party.
