The Actual Reason We Really Need Cooldowns For Pvp

[HoakinBlackforge]

Excalibur: Autotargets, Huge range, HEAVY STUN.

Valkyr's 3rd ability: Stuns, minimal energy requirement, CAN BE SPAMMED.

Equinox's Sleep ability: Literally serving you a free kill.

 

 

While cooldowns would be a much better solution in my point of view, i invite people to think another way of dealing with "stunlocks". Like making them shorter, or, allowing us a way to "shake off" the situation.

The power problem is exclusive to those 3 abilities, if those abilities get tweaked the powers should be more or less balanced. Its irrational to just add cooldown for just 3 exploitive abilities.

Actually the problem is that the mod to counter this is kinda broken imo. But you can still use bullet jump to run away before they cast it

Yup. I can't remember the last time an excal hit me with his first... Plenty of valk spam though.

Just wait a few more days when more power spam comes into play. If you hate power spam and melee spam before, you gonna hate Speed melee Volt.

Against any knowledgeable player speed volt poses no threat.

Moreover its the not the frequency of the cast, its the mechanics of the ability, and there are very few if not no other abilities in PvP that have exploitable mechanics other then those.

[S.T.M.P.D]

Just nerfing the strength of stunlocks, and making energy appear less frequently, and removing energy siphon from PvP because it's like having heavy ammo regen in Destiny.

If you say so.

DE more likely to balance the frequency of power usage through adj the cast speed.
