During this most recent Iron Banner I have run into several teams that have are constantly using supers. Since every time you get a kill with a super you generate an orb of light every super kill feeds the supers of your team which leads to everyone quickly using their supers again and again, this is especially the case with the defender titian class. The way I view a super in pvp is like a kill streak reward from COD since they provided an advantage to you or your team, or they are an almost guaranteed kill and while yes those kill streaks rewards did boost someone to their next reward they did not do it for any member of the team. I personally think that the orbs of light set up situations where one team will be constantly using supers to decimate an enemy who has little to no chance of fighting back since while supers can be dodged or avoided it is difficult. I think the orbs of light should be removed from PVP only and your super bar just charges over time or when you get a kill. Does anyone else see this problem or have I just been unlucky with matchmaking.

Yea I agree I've seen a team of defenders literally make a row bubbles to get and hold a point.
-
Generating orbs is godmode if your entire team helps out you deserve to win.

Good teams deserve to dominate iron banner. That is all!

Orbs are great and help add another element to teams. A team that holds onto a super is missing out on kills. I have my void walker set up to get my super as quick as possible. I use it, make orbs, give my team a super, gives me orbs and it repeats. Teammates that run around waiting for that perfect moment and never using it are why a team can be decimated.

It do not think they should be removed from crucible. However, there should be a playlist without supers.
-
I wouldn't be against removing them but this game is built on the foundation of Teamwork. Orbs are only really abused if one team is playing as a team and the other is just a bunch of randoms from matchmaking. If anything, teams should be attempted to be matched with other teams of similar size and randoms only matched with other randoms.

I didn't read the wall of text paragraph (seriously, enter or return every so often), but I definitely think there is a lot of merit to your idea.

Tbh, I like Crucible the way it is now ... sure auto rifles and scout rifles need a slight buff, and hand cannons a slight nerf ... but I love it as is now. The orbs and all! :-)
-
No, orbs should not be removed. On a semi related note, I still don't understand why Arc Blade can only generate half as many orbs as the other supers.
-
In Inferno it would be a good idea, or increase the amount of XP required to get your super up.
-
great idea lets nerf teamwork, what a moran

The orbs are a big part of the teamwork factor.
