When you inspect the six man fireteam you're going up against and you see it coming before the match. 4+ defender Titans with Alpha Lupi and 1-2 golden gunning hunters.
What happens: Once all the Titans on the team have WoD bubble, they will go straight to the B zone. After stacking 4 armor bubbles on top of each other, the hunters walk through what is now an "unlimited super portal". Of course, the bubbles will build off of themselves so the orbs just keep coming. Meaning, yes, literally NON-STOP GG.
This has happened countless times in one iron banner to me. Now I just leave at the beginning if I suspect it.
The worst part is it turns any average player into a god for the time being. We were up 12k to 6k when they start cheating last night. Yes, it is cheating when you have a highly assisted OHK supercharged gun with at least 3 bullets all the time. Your argument is already invalid. Yes, a vortex nova bomb will clear the bubbles and so will FoH. The fact of the matter is it is extremely difficult to beat and I have yet to do so. I'm far from average in the crucible so when I can beat you, just take it haha
[spoiler]we lost[/spoiler]
If you haven't been victim to this, I fear, it won't be long. It's obviously the "new thing to do" in the crucible. I know the original video from gigglemonster on YouTube is still there(if it's not the original, I don't care).
Why do people exploit this game to this extent? Do you report them? Do you use this method?
EDIT: much strategy, pls teach. Thanks to everyone who isn't hiding in an armor bubble with their other bubble buds
EDIT: someone mentioned tacking orbs out of pvp. I think it's a perfect solution to abusing the system. Earning your own super as opposed to being handed one for running through a bubble is a solid fix.

We lost recovering heavy ammo from kills for whining like this. It is called strategy...I wish I had a team to coordinate with, but I am not going to hate on a team that uses the supers the way they were meant to be used.
-
It's not cheating. I've been waiting for people to actually finally look at their abilities and work out how to synergise them in a team. NO-ONE IS MAKING YOU GO TO THEM. Just wait until they're gone, or until you have your own supers. Running into the meatgrinder like a lemming is stupid.
-
I don't see how it's a cheese. Sounds like badass teamwork to me.
-
I don't play a lot of crucible but that really doesn't seem like a cheese to me. They created a strategy that isn't a glitch and it generates a shit ton of orbs because that's the way the game is supposed to work. To me it sounds like if you want this to go away they might as well take away super abilities in crucible.
-
Saw a trap, walked into it repeatedly then complained that the trap works well enough to beat you. If I got that right then why can't I see cheesing. My bad or you ......? Wait it out, really not that genius a move unless WAITING is also a genius idea! They can't shoot you if they can't see you and also can't score: just wait, you are already winning and they will have to come to your trap to score. Turn the table instead of becoming the meal!
-
didnt realise teamwork is now a cheese
-
So you had a 6k lead, and you lost? Why did your whole team keep throwing themselves at that death trap and feeding the losing team points? If you had that much of a lead, it should have been easy enough to just wait it out. That pile of orbs is not mobile, so don't go near it unless you can hit it with FoH or something. You shouldn't have lost that match.
-
That's a valid strategy, not cheese.
-
Its not a cheese... Its game mechanics
-
Lol they have good strat and you just mad yo
-
Strikers for the win.
-
It's not as bad as he makes it out to be there's nothing to do except making titans bubble orbs not count for anything in terms of addressing this
-
The strategy is beatable, but not if you play with randoms that feed them kills. Unless they are all sporting the crest of alpha lupi, four Titans can't generate enough to keep themselves going without kills. Don't feed them and don't shoot the shields lol Honestly, make sure you have a character of each class, so that you learn the skill trees of the subclasses, then you'll know how to counter in the future
-
You were a victim of ur own demise...u said it urself, u were winning. Once u realized that they were doing it ur team should have stayed away and let the time run out. Instead ur team kept feeding them kill after kill. FYI, that's an exploit to the orb creating mechanics not a cheese. Hey didn't circumvent the game mechanics they just exploited the fact that they could build off of each other's supers
-
Never done this and never seen this. Sounds like a well thought out strategy though.
-
so there is people crying that the bubble is too weak in pvp seeing as how it can be blown up and people crying it is too strong because they can't get close because of a hunter with gg and generates infinite orbs, i dunno has anyone tried sniping the hunter? or kamikaze sticky grenade a titan?
-
Edited by UnwanteDreamz: 3/22/2015 11:46:20 AMI haven't seen this deployed enough to think it is a problem. Either way I'm not invested in PvP.
-
If you don't want to deal with it, leave the match.
-
That's called teamwork, my dear.
-
It's a legit strategy. Let me call the wahmbulance to maybe stop you whining
-
Crucible is a joke, how do you want to balance so many different weapons and abilities. Just wait for Comet, the 3rd subclass will be out along with 2 new weapon classes which are probably going to break it even more. I can already see them adding homing pistols for scrubs who cant aim, they did invent the needler didn't they?
-
It isn't a cheese it is a legit strategy.
-
It's apparently coordinated to spam bubbles and pick up orbs. So apparently our opinion is invalid. The worst is checking out the K/Ds of the assholes that run this strategy to find that they wouldn't be able to stand on their own to save their life.
-
I've done and played against this. Quick sniping and yes FoH!
-
This also happened to me and I was on a team who was useing the same strategy. I won on both team, they way we beat them the time when it was being use against me we had three warlock one titan and two Hunter. The titan ran in with the fist of havoc and we just use nova bomb over and over from or orbs plus we had two golden guns..

From now on during crucible every guardian will get a flag on their belt, instead of shooting opposing players you will need to gently take the flag off of their belt to score a point, be careful no pushing. At the end of the game everyone must line up in the middle to shake hands and say "good game" and both teams win every game. [spoiler]its a game about killing the opposing players, any way u can get it done go for it[/spoiler]
