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
[spoiler]we lost[/spoiler]
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.

You know how to counter this? Have your team camp on a flag and cover all entrances. The only way they win is if you feed them kills. I don't know why people just run into 3 bubbles expecting to do anything other than die.
-
Sounds like a damn good tactic to me. Maybe a good game of Checkers or Solitaire might be more your speed. You know the old saying "life isn't fair" well here is another one. "the only unfair fight is the one you lose"
-
Idk man, everytime someone's tried that against my clan they get wrecked Just avoid that urge to keep throwing yourself at instant death, coordinate with your mates until you all have bubble busting supers :)
-
My team of six rushed A til we had it on firebase delphi. Down 12k to our 2k. We ended up winning 20k to 15k. We capped A and then our titans went to bravo, locked it down and me and 2 other hunters locked down the windows and doors. Lulz so much combustion. Dont fck with us
-
It's a good strategy. Try it.
-
It's more smart thinking
-
Ppl will just set up as blade dancer n strikers and just as match starts swap classes so that sooky law lah's don't rage quit
-
We wrecked a team doing this yesterday. It was hilarious. Just have a Titan smash their bubble.
-
And yet, ppl still run towards the bubbles at b..Lol. Just keep them put and win with both flags.
-
I haven't encountered this, but it seems easy enough to avoid... Capture the other two points and avoid the one they're camping on. Or use Fist of Havoc.
-
Happened a few days ago, fire base iron banner, I knew they were cheating but I didn't leave, I was like, eh I'll take the medallion.

-
A strategy that requires an entire six man team to hold one control point is not a cheese. Just go cap a/c and quit bitching.
-
Had this happen to me in clash on rusted lands behind the huge water tank, it was super frustrating.
-
Thus a good strat, gotta try it
-
Quit complaining dude its a strategy and it works don't ruin this shit like the community has done with EVERY other cool thing in the game. Its easy to counter, Fist of Havoc there bubble village or smash it with a Nova Bomb or even slash your way through as a Blade Dancer. Not difficult. Let them have fun with there supers while it lasts then go destroy them.
-
Im was the number 2 titan for making orbs using this strategy but I havent played iron banner for a few days
-
Its cheese and it will be changed.

Edited by KebintheGervil: 3/21/2015 11:11:30 PMEeeerrrrr........ Isn't Iron Banner supposed to be a "team based game", as are most of the playlists in the Crucible in general? Looks like those using this tactic are simply "working as a team". Sounds like you need to work out a counter-tactic... I think it's very telling about you where you have put that you are not an average player and someone should just take it if you best them in the Crucible. Maybe you should just "take it haha" yourself...?
-
Calls it cheese; its actually a strategy. Just because you are bad and have a bad strategy it makes people that have a working stategy cheaters? No it just makes you bad. Learn to adapt and stop crying.
-
I agree with everyone...very smart playing! Have to give them a golf clap:)
-
It's not cheesing or cheating, they are using there resources to WIN. If you want to win I would suggest you do the same. Its annoying yeah, but it isn't cheating. I get annoyed bypeople who use it, It does not mean they are cheating.[spoiler] I am not a user of this method.[/spoiler] Cheating: If the game allows it, it isn't cheating.
-
Tactics not cheese
-
[quote]Why hasn't the Titan bubble CHEESE been addressed?[/quote] Because it's not a cheese.
-
"cheese"? More like teamwork, [b]f[/b]ucking hell yea. what's the point in having a fireteam option to begin with if nobody is going to use it for the advantage it clearly shows?
-
That is not cheating, it is creative teamwork.
