I don't have a problem with Vanguards. They're fine in Single player. What I have a problem with, is that (for multi-player) of all the games I've ever played, Human Vanguards, aka Novaguards, in particular, are the most ridiculously overpowered things I've ever encountered. Seriously: Invincibility+the ability to self-restore shields almost constantly, while wiping out entire mobs of enemies, AND zipping back and forth across the entire map, without any kind of brainpower whatsoever? OVERPOWERED.
These people who get on and say "oh no, they're not overpowered." Just because there is a counter to something, doesn't mean it's not overpowered. And yes, on Gold, maybe they do die more (although they're still pretty ridiculous from what I've seen), but on lower difficulties, they are literally, biotic gods. Novaguards require 0 skill to use whatsoever. And just because "well, you don't have to play a Novaguard" STILL doesn't mean that Novaguards aren't overpowered. A simple solution would be to add a cool down to Nova. This way, Novaguards can do the one thing everyone else in the game has to do: THINK. I know, you'd actually have to think for a change. Oh, the humanity! I've played a Human Vanguard before, and I'm always on the top. Never less than 20k points over second place. (EDIT To clarify, Bronze and Silver. Gold is too elitest.)Novaguards are overpowered, plain and simple.
Oh, and on a final note, stupidity doesn't count. Just because an idiot vanguard charged a banshee and died, doesn't mean they're not overpowered.
Though I admit, I feel like I just wasted my time, because I foresee some idiot getting on with FAILLogic: "Derp. Novagardz rnt ovurpowurd."
