When I first starting playing Destiny, the obvious choice for me was out of a Warlock and a Hunter. I figured that people who liked Warlock were a sophisticated people. We were those who enjoyed asking questions, knowledge, mystery, art and enlightenment.
Hunters were people who liked adventure and discovery, stealth and challenge.
But Titan players? Titan players were clearly uneducated and uncouth. A people to avoid. They were those who always took the easy way out.
Afterall, why else would somebody pick a Titan and go into PvP with a Shotgun? Who else could enjoy running around the map punching people in the mouth, barging them and kneeing them mid air? Panic Fist of Havoc and dancing in their bubble on a flag then tea-bagging anyone who enters after certain death? These people must be the dregs of society.
Or so I thought...
Outside of PvP, the Titans are very useful! I am always in awe of the tools that they have to protect other guardians. Most of all in the Raid. I am actually dismayed if we have less than two Titans on the team.
But there is more to Titans than their part in the game. The people who pick Titans - the real life person - the players behind the Titans; are the nicest people that you can find!
I'm dead serious! I was just looking at my friend list and I came to realise that the people who have made the best conversation, been the most helpful, made me laugh the most, encouraged me when I have struggled; have all been Titan players.
Titan players are not only very useful in the game, but they are very intelligent people who know how to have fun and they are simply a joy to be around!
Take a moment to look at your own Destiny friends. Let's see if its just me or not. I have a feeling that it won't only be me who sees this. Titan players can troll you hard in PvP but they are really nice guys!
Beneath all of that argy-bargy bravado, beneath the heavy armour and testosterone lies a real heart of gold. Without Titan players, the community would be at a huge loss. They are to our credit and they are the needle that sews together the very fabric of our community.
They built the wall around the Last City. And I can assure you that when the Darkness returns, we will be in need of every Titan that we can find.
I used to hate Titans like you...
But now I have come to love them and they are my best friends. If you haven't got a Titan buddy yet, I implore you to find a few. You won't regret it!
Perhaps, just like the [url=http://destiny.wikia.com/wiki/Unfriendly_Giant]Unfriendly Giant[/url], Titan players are simply misunderstood. Or perhaps a little shy (although more often than not a little overconfident).
But who could blame them? They make everything look easy, but they are really working hard to protect and look after us all.
Titans, you have my thanks and my respect. I celebrate you. I salute you.
[spoiler]And I really... [i]really[/i]... [b][u]REALLY[/u][/b]... enjoy your Disco Bubble Dance Parties![/spoiler]

See you all Starside.

Striker that runs vision of confluence, patience and time, and Jolder's hammer crew checking in

We Titans are more then armour and power alone like my fellow Titan brothers said we are here to help and protect. Titans held the line in utter darkness so the light of the Traveller could shine and give. We will stand firm in the upcoming Darkness ! And I love the Titan because it's the most versatile for my playstyle ^^

Awe.. shucks your makin me blush..

Do I count, I have all 3 characters? Every group I get to do the raid is newbs and I end up coaching everyone through it. Just like my first time when a nice group (3 titans, 2 Hunters and me warlock at the time) led me through it. Good times
-
Warlocks are full of themselves, Hunters are loners but both are pretentious. Titans....just here to have fun baby, rock and roll lets shoot some stuff!
-
Hunters are the kids who wear Tapout and Famous shirts irl.
-
Made me feel good that I play as a Titan my hunter friend usually calls me fat and bulky
-
This thread is lies. Titans suck
-
Do we need to generalise people based on their class choices? Titans have their fair share of unpleasant players, as do Warlocks and Hunters have their share of diamonds in the rough. In the same way as humanity in general, we'll always be a mixed bag! :)

As great as your Titan friends may be, it's not a complete rule of who picks them. All the guys on my list that I enjoy the most overall are warlocks. The hunters on my list are strangely the most effective at everything (not bashing hunters, I live and breath crouch cloak for saving my team on nightfall) and the Titans are usually the [u]funnier[/u] people.

Seasoned Striker Titan here. I actually enjoy the stereotype that all Titans play a certain way, so to expect a certain behavior from them in the crucible. I actually use this as excellent cover to gain an advantage in the crucible. Let's just say that "useless" catapult perk and those "useless" lightning grenades aren't quite as useless as people think they are. I use unconventional tactics on my Titan, and my K/D has been raising since I discovered them. (Started Destiny at 0.7kd, think I'm at 1.3kd now and rising).
-
I use a shotgun with my Titan just as much as I do with my warlock and my hunter and my warlock was my first character. Not all titans are shotgunners
-
See? And we're over here getting told off by Show off Hunters and Up-tight Warlocks. Why the hate? :c Thank you.
-
I only picked the Titan class because it reminded me most of my halo days....
-
Titans are natural protectors. We keep our friends safe with the shield and get them out of danger with the fist. We survive the longest to keep everyone else alive. And that's why I'm proud to play as a Titan :) And of course... EVERYBODY DANCE NAOW!!!!

Love this post
-
I was expecting this to go in a completely different direction...
-
I like this post. :)
-
Love to see a Titan on my side bring out the wall in control pvp or when being swarmed by wizards etc on those strikes.
-
Titans are meant for close quarters, hunters long range, warlock bit of both more for support.

Lol true I'n that guy that is nice to the person everyone bullies, yet like to feed people fists in crucible
-
I have one really good friend in Destiny who is always down to help me out and be encouraging and stick it out with me, and he plays a Titan. So yeah.

The reason you chose Warlock was my reason as well.:)
