The Taken and Guardian Relations

People HATE the Taken. Why is that? Is it because they are reskins of previous enemies? That was a reason, but it isn't as strong as some of the others. Maybe it's their ability to get into EVERY situation, distracting you from whatever? Understandable... but that isn't the main reason. Most people hate the Taken because they spam their abilities. The first thing a Taken Captain does is throw its bubble at you. One of the most dreaded abilities is the Mega-Mitosis that the Psions can do, which they also seem to do all the time. Now, think about it. Ability. Spam. Sound familiar? That's right, that's the same shit we do! If you recall, once you step into Crucible, no matter the gametype, all it seems to be is an ability spam simulator. Ready to snipe that fool on the other side of the map? Looks like that one Solar Grenade had Touch of Flame on it. Ready to Panic Bomb a Hunter? Looks like you fell right into a trip mine two seconds before your immunity activated. And finally, to pop that Golden Gun and win the match? Looks like that one Titan who Shoulder-Charged your teammates two seconds ago is right on your tail. Now, let's flip to the PvE version against our dearest Taken. Ready to snipe the Vandals that spawn on HM King's Fall? Looks like it popped a bubble before you could even scope. Ready to unleash hell upon the Taken boss that spawned? Go ahead, round the corner and get hit with 12 Captain Bubbles. Oh, and never forget this... got the enemy narrowed down to two enemies? Oops! Make that 3, no 4... 5? 6? Did one just pop out of the one you just killed? There you go. Perhaps people hate the Taken so because they remind us of ourselves (but a little weaker).
