This is more to everyone else than it is to the OP: I started playing this game a few weeks before TTK, so all in all am not the most familiar with the history of the classes first year. And easily the class that sticks out ad my most hated opponent, again and again, is the Striker. Their super has the power of a nova bomb but MUCH faster to pull off, combined with an indestructible guardian when they trigger it i.e. Fist of Panic. I've stuck a fusion on Titan before his super once, then he triggered it and I stuck him with a second one mid hulk smash, thinking at least I'll take the cocksucker with me, only to have him teabagging my orb a second later. And y'all bitch about sunsingers having two fusions grenades (which the Titan also can have. Imagine that). Speaking of, I've been killed far more times with a lightening grenade than a fusion grenade. Reason being, very few people use fusions. You have to be at least moderately precise with them, which makes them largely unpopular. But they do one shot everybody but strikers, so I love them. Literally the only strength left to the Sunsinger. And even that they share with titans. Let's see, what's next...titans have most armor in game. Best jump boost. Really douchey looking Iron Banner Helmuts. Last and far from least is the shoulder charge. Yeh....it'd such a risk shoulder charging. To the point that I've seen strikers get like 30 kills in a game using the shoulder charge alone. No other ability can match that. It's a perpetual one shot machine that takes a couple seconds to charge EVERY time. Nevermind their OTHER melee. Point being...it's ridiculous to say that they're the most balanced in the game. As it is, before this nerf madness, I only had three issues with abilities. Firebolt, shade step and shoulder charge. Every guardian had one op ability. So it was balanced to begin with. Then shit just fell apart. And even as it fell apart, like...who gives a -blam!-? Let's just play the game. I'm only commenting about YOU guys, not the actual mechanics. Life is full adversity. You hurdle that shit and enjoy yourself. Getting wrapped up in the illusory minutiae of "fairness" just makes your experience and the experience of those around you feel shitty. Not that I don't have gripes about bungie. They're a bunch of assholes with shitty servers. But the only thing you'll ever see me asking of them is to stop dropping me from so many games. Moral of the story....no one is ruining the experience for you. This community is not to blame. Bungie is not to blame. Only you are accountable for yourself. Only you can stop forest fires. Smokey the Bear, over and out. Didn't see that one coming, did ya?
