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

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??
