I understand Bungie's aiming for Strand to rely solely on Tangles as its "spawned object" (for lack of better words) similar to Stasis Shards, Void Breaches, Firesprites, etc... Problem is Strand Tangles aren't individually exclusive, meaning other players can interact with them. While I would love to say this isn't a problem in any way whatsoever (🙃), with Guardian Games Nightfall running Strand Surge, and Strand damage/abilities linked to the Champ title, playing Strand on any class is becoming incredibly infuriating. I get its supposed to be "competitive" Nightfalls. But frankly if one more blueberry picks up my Tangle that I need to make my build work I'm going to lose it, even worse is trying to sort out who's Tangles belong to who.
Unfortunately Strand Tangles share a similar problem to ye olde Warmind Cells and Stasis Crystals, in that other players can unintentionally (or intentionally) grief your build and therefore gameplay experience. Stasis at least can compensate for the griefing problem with Stasis Shards, so if someone destroys your Stasis crystal its not the end of the world. Sadly there is no way to drop Tangles once they have been picked up, that I have found. What's worse is when a Tangle spawns on top of an object that you need to interact with to advance the Strike or mission, but accidently pick up the Tangle instead.
Now, it could just be me, I could just have a terrible Strand build. But I feel Strand desperately needs a "spawned shard object" equivalent instead of EVERYTHING relying on Tangles. I get we have Hatchlings that are like little aggressive Arc Traces, but their function is strictly offensive. They don't (to my knowledge at least) trigger buffs or and effects like Tangles do. Please correct me if I am wrong.
So until something gets sorted out or not (probably not tbh), please remember: if you didn't make the Tangle DON'T TOUCH PLZ whoever made it needs it. THANK YOU. Happy Guardian Games.

I wish hunters had something unique with tangles. Like destroying a tangle explodes it into a dozen unravel projectiles Maybe next season's exotic armor.
