When you inspect the six man fireteam you're going up against and you see it coming before the match. 4+ defender Titans with Alpha Lupi and 1-2 golden gunning hunters.
What happens: Once all the Titans on the team have WoD bubble, they will go straight to the B zone. After stacking 4 armor bubbles on top of each other, the hunters walk through what is now an "unlimited super portal". Of course, the bubbles will build off of themselves so the orbs just keep coming. Meaning, yes, literally NON-STOP GG.
This has happened countless times in one iron banner to me. Now I just leave at the beginning if I suspect it.
The worst part is it turns any average player into a god for the time being. We were up 12k to 6k when they start cheating last night. Yes, it is cheating when you have a highly assisted OHK supercharged gun with at least 3 bullets all the time. Your argument is already invalid. Yes, a vortex nova bomb will clear the bubbles and so will FoH. The fact of the matter is it is extremely difficult to beat and I have yet to do so. I'm far from average in the crucible so when I can beat you, just take it haha

If you haven't been victim to this, I fear, it won't be long. It's obviously the "new thing to do" in the crucible. I know the original video from gigglemonster on YouTube is still there(if it's not the original, I don't care).
Why do people exploit this game to this extent? Do you report them? Do you use this method?
EDIT: much strategy, pls teach. Thanks to everyone who isn't hiding in an armor bubble with their other bubble buds
EDIT: someone mentioned tacking orbs out of pvp. I think it's a perfect solution to abusing the system. Earning your own super as opposed to being handed one for running through a bubble is a solid fix.

I've only ran in to this once and after a striker titan killed all 6 of them they changed their strategy and started playing normally....
-
You're literally complaining about the most underpowered super in the game? Hahaha
-
Golden gun one shots bubbles.
-
there's no way you could patch a good strategy lol GG tho
-
I don't PvP much, but couldn't you just not play their game and just camp? I'd imagine if the did that in one area, you could just camp and wait for them to stop. Right?
-
As long as it doesnt affect pve. This is just a pvp balance issue.
-
This is not a cheese/glitch or whatever you want. Yes it's a pain but it is teamplay
-
Keep in mind that if you do kill them all they still have supers to start again immediately.
-
Mommy the kids are not being nice to me. It's not FAIR.
-
I've never seen so much bitching on forms in my life LOL
-
To all you people saying this is teamwork, please shut the hell up. It's the very definition of an exploit and should be removed from the game. Is that how you live with yourself? Rationalizing the obscene into the palatable?

Edited by TheDirtyRinger: 3/22/2015 4:51:15 PMIt's funny after reading a bunch of the replies I'm laughing a lot at how angry people are over this. Keep in mind I've played my fair share of crucible and never seen anyone do this. I have heard of it though. Now despite how much people like or dislike this tactic it is exactly that, a tactic. It's not an exploit or cheating it is simply using the game mechanics in a very powerful way. Let's check off the list of things required to do this and see how they are exploits. 1. Titans getting supers charged up - nope 2. Popping bubbles on the same spot - nope 3. Using the orbs to recharge super - nope Those are the 3 basic parts of this strategy and not one of them uses pathing exploits, hiding places or anything that is even close to cheating. Now that being said this is obviously overpowered and needs to be addressed with some sort of balancing. How that will be done I have seen the one decent idea of removing orbs from pvp.
-
Absolutely nothing you or the dev team can do about this.
-
Wait what? How is that cheating????
-
If a team has that much planning and coordination, they deserve to win.
-
Who actually plays crucible
-
Love it when people do this they get cocky and I get to merc there whole team with a blade dance
-
well, lets also just remove moving from the game. everyone stays in a fixed position, able to auto target every opponent, using the stick to cycle through targets. Would that be "exploit" free enough?
-
While they are wasting time at B, take A or C while they are distracted.

Use suppressor grenades

How is this consider "expolit" or "cheese"? They simply came up with a strategic plan. as a defender class titan, they are there to support the team as they are intent to. So nothing cheating about that. I though it was brilliant plan. I'm pretty sure you have picked up orbs that was generated by your teammates to gain your super. So will that be considered as cheese or expolit? And also when will there be end to all these nerfing? we did something similar to that last night with two defenders and two locks and me as blade dancer. Works great. We held b down and killing them as they trying to bum rush b. It's call teamwork and using your class to the fullest.
-
Teamwork. [spoiler]qq[/spoiler]
-
Not cheating there actually playing as a team. If you were supposed to help other get a super with your super, orbs would have never been created.
-
The thing is that gets rid of the reward for good team work
-
Coordinate with your team and drop simultaneous Nova Bombs and fists.
