Can I just say...

Supers don't rule the crucible, people do. A hammer of sol is very capable, but so is every other super used right. Even bubble with weapons of light can be OP if the user does it right. Hammer of sol can still be shut down with a suppressor grenade or shadowshot same as everyone else. After all, why do people get supers? Because they killed a lot of people. Players who never get kills only get their super once per game maybe, and probably don't use it well anyway. So next time you get wreaked by the same guy with Hammer of Sol, remember, he probably already killed you a few times with his guns first. Leave it to a Nightstalker or Defender to suppress him and run away like people have been since day one from bladedancers and golden guns. You don't have to agree, I like the Hunter best, but I play all three. You gotta be good at gun play before you get to use any super ability. (Unless you play mayhem) So lets go out, wreck, and git rekt.

    TLW and old Thorn weren't OP either. Sure bruh... The hammer of sol is currently the most ridiculous super in the game. It's incredibly stacked to kill, and not die, even more so than arcblade. It has more damage resistance than Arcblade, has a one hit melee kill. Has an aoe golden gun that can provide an overshield, has more hammer shots than a Symbiote wearing Gunslinger and thus has no meaningful counterplay outside of burning your own super. You can kill a gunslinger if you flank him because he has no dmg reduction. You can trade with a bladedancer doing a shotgun+melee. You can't do either one of those against a Sunbreaker. Novabomb and Fist of Panic are geographically constrained to one single point. Like B on the Cauldron. The Titan however, can pop his super, run from A to C on The Cauldron, while passing through B, and can wipe an entire fireteam. On his path. The hammer of sol is ridiculous. The hammers either need TLW level of damage drop off, need to get way harder to aim, or the damage reduction has to get halved. At best, a combination of all of those, simply because the super is basically 3 supers in one (overshield being the WoD).
