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.

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.
