All because of the templar fix.
Unless you have an experienced raid team and good weapons the hard mode raid is an excruciatingly painful experience.
Templar is easily the hardest part of the raid. Without the cheese my raid team and I get stuck at templar for hours sometimes. We never cheesed atheon or NM Templar. We only cheesed HM templar to get to the rest of the raid without wanting to throw our ps4s out the window.
The hard raid is no longer worth it imo.
Hopefully bungie get things right with crotas end.
Edit: What I'm trying to say is that HM templar is harder than it should be and sometimes causes so much frustration that I would rather not do the raid at all. I have beat HM templar many times legit. Just sharing my opinion about the fight.
Edit: Didn't think this would cause such a stir.
Reading through the responses has made me realize how toxic this community is.
Apperently opinions aren't welcome here.
Though I did see some light in the darkness.
IE. people respecting my opinion even if they disagreed
Edit: I want to make it clear that I don't like to cheese or ever relied on the cheese. My raid Team and I are very experienced in the VoG and have beat HM templar many times. I just feel templar needs a little tweeking.
If you think I'm just a scrub and I should "get gud" then that's your opinion and I will respect it.

A good strategy my team adapted tonight involved a few titans but we all group up by the door and just went left or right where he teleported and stayed in back 3 shooting lanes for the shield and tons of cover to spread out we would kill what oracle we could and just cleanse when we got marked. Tried other strategies like having people stay up on the spawn to snipe but an oracle would always get missed in this instance we had 1 or 2 on bottom one with the shield and another stay to the right to get the hard to see oracles. We used the cave as cover as well as the shield guy hid in the middle. The one run we did get he enraged and couldnt finish him off. But a better team with better communication than my friends and i might be able to do it this way. If you try the strategies above i hope they work! And may rngesus bless you
