Bungie needs to do something to counter the team titan bubble spam that occurs in the crucible. I very rarely encounter matches where this occurs, but when I do find one the game is basically over. I am referring to an entire team placing titan bubbles on an objective and simply camping it out to win the game. Usually the teams I encounter have 4 defender titans and a combination of golden gun hunters or nova bombing warlocks. Teams usually pull off this strategy with the shear amount of orbs the titans are spawning in. This creates a situation where the hunter has a constant golden gun and there are at least 2-3 titan bubbles up at any given time. Most of the time they are stacked on heavy ammo as well so it is nearly impossible to get any supers off that could counter this strategy such as a titan fist of havoc, warlocks nova bomb, etc. This setup simply takes all the fun and competition out of the game. To hopefully stop such a game-breaking strategy I propose limiting the amount of orbs a single person can spawn in during a crucible match. Under normal circumstances this particular limit would never be reached in regular game play. This is the only effective way I can imagine that could hinder this strategy without causing any subclass changes. If you agree or have any ideas to fix this please reply below. By the way if I do reply to your reply I am not meaning to be abrasive, so don't take it personally when I do not agree with your point of view.
Edit: Here are some other ideas people have proposed to balancing this issue.
-simply eliminating orbs all together from pvp
-fixing the matchmaking to mix in more experienced players with new players so there are at least a couple people who can work together to counter this rather than one person trying to beat this themselves
-titan bubbles making less orbs and having to kill someone within the proximity of their bubble to spawn in orbs
-setting a filter/matchmaking system up to limit how many types of characters can be in a particular lobby
-
It's a strategy, get over it.
-
Have the warlock put on Lance, or the Titan put on Death from above and unstoppable. There's your counter. :)

Edited by J Stevensontown: 8/19/2015 3:03:36 PMgit gud bro :'-((( So you just keep running at the bubbles? This is where a full fire team that is organized comes into play. Tough to counter when you're just playing with randoms. Especially with all the orbs of light they keep spawning. The trick is making them use their Supers and not letting them generate orbs. Easy fix with Nova bomb + the dire skull Or fist of havoc with unstoppable w/inmost light Or golden gun with aclyophage, maybe celestial??
-
Ignore them, they're [i]bubbles[/i]. They can't kill you. Only you can kill you.
-
weakening the worst class is a [i]great[/i] idea.
-
A celestial nighthawk shot will destroy the bubble and kill the titan inside.
-
Eliminate orbs from pvp and make so you actually have to earn a super to use one
-
Its a matchmaking problem. This tactic only becomes unbeatable when you have a coordinated team running it...and team of randoms up against it.
-
Admittedly it's a frustrating tactic, but hey if they are that coordinated as a team, good for them. Supers burst bubbles, FoH does an excellent job of this. Everyone is looking for the bubbles to burst and when that happens your team cleans up. I've only seen it a few times and if I recall only once did the other team win.
-
I think there is really more important things to take care of like e.g. lag.
-
Sounds like you dont know anything about flanking and distracting the enemy. I only managed to encounter them with my hunter blade dancer but i never made it easy for them to hit me.
-
I at least did you the courtesy of reading your entire silly post before downvoting it. Supers destroy bubbles! Respect their coordination! It's very rare to see it, so why bother complaining?!
-
I did it with 6 titans a couple of us had Helm 14 and some had alpha lupi with no land beyond......didn't stand a chance
-
Honestly this is stupid. Simply, nova bomb/fist of havoc and that fixes your problems. All it takes is one good run nobody notices you and BAM! They're all dead.

Edited by InfinityMinds: 8/18/2015 4:56:01 PMI counter this shit again yesterday after destiny randomly put me into the losing team, but guess what, I destroy all the enemies with single nova bomb by jump into the bubble... and my team mate pickup orbs that I created and they destroyed the enemies with their super. Result? We won of course. One of the enemies team got 50 kills... I laugh so hard and said fuq u bitch.
-
Just make it so only one orb per bubble and the titan has to get kills to earn more.
-
If you think its a problem now what until Mayhem game mode.
-
Are 6 titan bubbles by themselves a problem?
-
Titan bubbles arent a problem unless they stack them DIRECTLY ON TOP OF EACH OTHER. Golden gun or nova bomb quickly takes out a titan bubble, rockets work too Or have 4 ppl run up an shotgun the thing till its down or fusion rifle (same amount from a distance)
-
Perhaps, instead of limiting the number of orbs a player can spawn in during a game, why not set a filter on the number of character types can be in one game? The filter would vary from game type to game type of course. For example, no more than two of one type of character per team would be found in the matchmaking for Clash.
