Why are supers called supers?
One thing about this whole "balancing" malarkey has always confused me.
Why are supers called supers if they're meant to be balanced or stoppable by regular guns/melee/etc?
I don't know about you guys, but when I see a hunter or titan pop a super, I expect my lock to get his ass kicked unless I'm packing an off super on my lock. Hell I'm dead if another lock pops their super on me. But. Isn't that why it's a SUPER?
I petition supers be removed from the game or nerfed into a basic skill like shoulder charge, the hunter stab one or lock flame shield.
As is, they're just so damn confusing being called supers.

1 ReplyWas in trials minutes ago. Saw a Bladedancer coming. They had 4 against our 1, it was over right? Wrong. Because I activated my super and took him out. Without my super though we'd have lost. But we ended up clutching it. Titan came running in, a single shot from Atheon's Epilogue would have finished him. Activates his super and what happens? Unstoppable saves him from dying as he flies at us killing all three of us. A warlock jumped through a doorway and literally was casting Nova Bomb, we didn't stand a chance. Don't blame the supers because you're not super. Behind a good player they're insanely powerful. And no. Supers should not be Attack Dogs from CoD BLOPS, they shouldn't rack up 7+ kills. That's just ridiculous.

I disagree, just like supers in street fighter, there should always be a counter. Even if that counter is jumping in to make them use it then holding back to block it.

2 RepliesEdited by Swiftlock: 1/23/2016 3:16:42 PMA super should be a powerful move that can get you out of a sticky situation or help turn the tide of a battle when you demonstrate good tactics and use it at the proper moment. A super should [b]NOT [/b]make up for someone's lack of skill and allow a bad player to go on obscene scorestreaks with next to little effort, nor should it provide a major benefit to the team when used recklessly. That is how supers are balanced while still being super.

Just here to see if anyone posted a big gay al meme... I'll check back later...

I could be wrong but I always thought that the reason that it is called a super is that it's a homage to streetfighter

6 RepliesYour right and wrong. Facing a super should be an "oh shit" moment. But it cant be so overpowered that the person who activated it is unstoppable. A super is meant to be a game changer if the right amount of skill is put into it

Some have the big explosion big success
