Commander Switch Port - Unable To Do Anything On Respawn

[0Pinger]

Every time I have been switch ported by a Grineer Commander tonight, I have been unable to move/attack for about 2 seconds.  I get the unable to preform in air message trying to attack or use abilities.

Yup.  That's what they do.  They stun you.  It was originally a bug, but players liked it because it does the same thing to a warframe what Loki's Switch Teleport does to an enemy.

no it was originally a bug that they didn't play this animation but it was fixed and now most people complain they don't like it

I don't recall anyone ever saying they liked the idea of Commanders being able to stun you. In fact, I only ever remember complaints about being teleported randomly, even before the addition of the stun.

Huh.  I personally remember seeing some threads about people being pleasantly surprised that commanders were hard to kill now.  I like them too.  

Well, to each his own, I guess.

I always welcome a challenge in Warframe, but the Commanders are a pain in the ars*. I don't mind the stun/teleport, but the fact that it happens right out of the blue is just plain annoying. Knowing the game and all the enemies' strengths and weaknesses should be rewarded, the Scorpions were tweaked to the better so the same should be possible for the Commander. 

I liked the rollers when they were smaller and harder to hit, but just like Sadisticnerd mentioned; every man his taste. Just my thoughts =) 

[Papa_Nuk_Nuk]

Agree on the roller part.  Warframe's too easy imo.

It would probably be more acceptable if it was telegraphed and/or avoidable so the player at least has a chance to counter or prepare before they're teleported and stunned right in the middle of a swarm of Napalms and Scorches. The complaints were mainly surrounding the fact that it just happens without warning, which was annoying and a bit dangerous at first and now is incredibly lethal to frames who aren't made to stand around gawking for several seconds as they get gunned down.

 

Don't get me wrong, challenge is good, but the issue is that there is no "challenge" to getting randomly teleported and stunned without any preemptive knowledge that it's going to happen. That's essentially a cheap death unless you were lucky enough to have Blessing or Iron Skin active before you were switched.

I hate getting teleported in the middle of a grineer platoon and being unable to defend myself.

Before the confusion came from the player not knowing from wich direction the enemy teleported you.

At least the commanders should be more easily recognizable, so I can kill them before they are able to teleport me.
