It's not going to be common, but it is OP. Coordinating 4 defenders all with the crest of alpha lupi, and getting a pair of gunslingers to orbit isn't going to be the easiest thing. But then again going through the steps to get the Vex Mythoclast weren't easy, but look what happened to that when it was absolutely melting people when it first hit the crucible.

Yes, its OP, but then any good teamwork is OP. I do think they could fine tune it but I reckon its how the game should be. A team using supers to dominate the other team? Yes please. Its like when people were bitching about shotguns being OP in crucible, which they are clearly not. There is a post (a bad one) about how OP the Fist of Havok is, which is laughable. I know ppl that say the VexM is STILL too OP, but Iv never had problems facing one. My bro thinks the Bladedancer is too OP. Perhaps some fine tuning, yes, but I dont think this breaks the game, I think it adds to it.

Good teamwork being OP and this kind of OP are two completely different tiers. This is about as fair as spawn camping (you know the kind where all I have to do is hold down the trigger and enemies spawn into my bullets). What is interesting about having 4 titans spamming their supers, and 2 other guardians feeding off of it? I tried to come up with exciting examples of exploiting game mechanics that make PvP more exciting in games, buy none come to mind.

No, its not, because you can only do this WITH TEAMWORK! And its very different from holding down a button to spawnkill, its a very bad example to use. "I tried to come up with exciting examples of exploiting game mechanics that make PvP more exciting in games, buy none come to mind." Looks like you wont be finding the way to break this little tactic then. I too fail at finding interesting and original ways of exploiting game mechanics. We can cry together.

The positive spin doesn't make your example any stronger. Also the spawn trap is a beautiful example. It too takes teamwork. Each team member must know where to stand and where to aim. Getting the opponents into the trap takes forethought and map knowledge. And once you get it rolling, you're on the big money. Calling this exciting is not true, I don't anybody watching this from the defenders perspective was too thrilled watching a guy Ginyu posing for the duration of the match. And watching a gunslinger with infinite golden gun is hardly a skill showcase. Sure its interesting to see that they've come up with this strategy as much as the people that found the new crota cheese within hours of the hotfix.

I didnt give an example, unless you mean me mentioning ppl moaning about whats supposedly OP i.e. Bladedancer, vex, etc etc Its not a spawn trap. Its spawnraping and it doesnt take teamwork. Im not sure you have ever actually seen spawnraping in a game! You dont get opponents "into the trap" you stand looking where ppl [b]always[/b] spawn and shoot as soon as they appear. One man effort. Now a whole team of spawnrapers, thats annoying, but again, no team effort, just individuals that know spawn points. A terrible example, please dont use it again. Its starting to sound like your just moaning. Next week there will be a vid of like, 2 people, taking out these bubble fortresses (made that up, like it?) with consummate ease! Lets see how this plays out, I think it can only be good for the game.
