I recently started playing as Defender, instead of Striker. Intially there was a slight learning curve, you have to play a little different, but since then, I have loved it in PvP. Taking and defending control points is so much easier than before. I am also wearing the Helm of Saint-14 helmet...this blinds any player that enters in to the bubble, which makes it essentially suicide for an enemy, unless he uses his super.. I have been countered by another players super, maybe 10% of the time...so far, completely woth it for me, and my teammates.
