I've been seeing a lot of people complain about the "titan bubble exploit". It's when a bunch of Titan-Defenders all stack their Bubbles and the buff's that come with them making them virtually invincible and the constant orb spawning turbo-charges their supers allowing them to do this pretty much all game long. Realistically BUNGIE can't do much to stop players from doing this so Here are some counter-plays to help you out the next time you see this in a crucible match. If I missed anything feel free to add on in the comment section.
1. STEER CLEAR! Since they have to stay near their bubbles to keep the buffs going, keeping out of sight entirely is a sure fire way to not die. If this is happening on control, chances are they're doing this on B-flag so skip it altogether and go for C and A flag. This stops them from gaining points altogether.
2. CHILL BRUH! I've played these kinds of players a few times before and every time the match takes FOREVER! But I've never lost against these guys. Relax and wait for your super. Charging in head first is charging in brains last.
Be patient, they aren't going anywhere (literally) since they have to stay near their bubbles.
3. MMM WATCHA SAY? Team communication is key. Don't be afraid to throw on your mic and switch to the team voice channel. My mom told me not to talk to strangers over the Internet too but I'd think she would make an exception in this case.
4. EAT THIS!! Save all supers STRICTLY for destroying the bubbles and make sure only ONE PERSON AT A TIME uses their super. A single nova bomb or Fist of Havoc can take out 3 ward of dawns if it's aimed right. One super at a time ensures you can destroy their wards as fast as they set them up.
Note: Arc blade is a poor choice to try and counter this strategy because the overlapping defense buffs and multiple combatants collectively punching you in the face will drop you before you do any real damage.
5. DICK PUNCH! Alright, you've waited long enough, they're wards are down and they're like fish in a barrel! GET IN THERE AND KICK THEIR ASSES SO HARD THEY RETURN THEIR GAME AND COMPLAIN ON THE BUNGIE FORUMS!
6. TO THE WINNER.. BRAGGING RIGHTS! You have to go pretty far out of your way to do this, and there's enough in crucible to rage about. So when your enemies lie bloodied and broken before you... COMMENCE T-BAGGING. And maybe send a well worded hate message afterward for good measure.
Note: #6 is optional, but preferred.
Edit: I used the term "exploit" just because that's what most players use to describe it. It's cheap but imo it's not an exploit.
Edit: Going Kamikaze with a rocket launcher is both effective and hilarious. Razors edge with arc-blade also destroys the titan bubble.
