I agree with the OP on this, the Geth aren't difficult, there just cheap. Rocket troopers, hunters and flamers as well.

Hunters need a nerf.

I agree. I hate Geth, they're so cheap. Sometimes I feel like I should report them to ME3MPCheaters@BioWare.com

[spudspot]

So much win in these opening lines.

No instakill/permadeaths when facing geth.
No grenades when facing geth.
Lack of grenades and instakillers make camping strategies against geth much more viable than vs cerberus or reapers.

I don't think the geth are cheap at all. If banshees were replaced by primes, reapers would be easier. If phantoms were replaced by hunters, cerberus would be easier...

Geth, just like all the other enemies in MP are very predictable in their individual actions, so it's just a matter of player skill to see the hunters early enough, not let the pyros get too close, and don't stand so close to primes that they spawn turrets behind you (turrets all fall with a single tech power anyways, so if you keep them in front of you, you wipe them all out with chain overload and instead of attacking you, the prime is busy respawning them). Also, the rocket troopers tend to keep you honest and behind cover.

Actually primes will instakill you, I dont understand why people believe otherwise. Geth are cheap. You may not feel this way but considering all the bugs and their habits, they are.
Rocket troopers cruising missiles around corners, often 2 at a time which drop your shields and all but 1 bar of health? Yeah, not cheap.
Hunters that stunlock you instantly, snipe you often with their GPS and will shoot whilst stunned? Clearly not cheap.
Pyros being able to start damaging you before they actually show their flamethrower as being used? Come on.
Primes stunlocking you to the point that you are basically forced to take all of their cannon shots if hit by one? 
How about that Primes will very often throw turrets through walls, so the only way to make sure you dont have a turret behind you is by being halfway across the map from them? 
These are all just stupid tactics and glitches that make them very very cheap to play against.

My favorite moment VS Geth is when I see the machine gun rocket launcher shooting at me and I DODGE the rocket in time and manage to get behind a wall. It's an amazing feeling.

Well... at least for that 1/100th of a second while the rocket homes in on you and bends around a corner, behind a wall, to hit you in the face.

Followed in 0.1s by another two.

Agree with op on this one.

[underm1nd]

Yep, thats exactly what geth are - CHEAP. Stun lock is just..... Yesterday i decided to play around with an infil with a widow(yeah i have bw, but i prefer the widow) AND SURPRISE half the match was spent trying to reload, because of the constant staggers...(still got 90k points for the record and infiltrators are still good, u just cant do objectives in complete safety wich is a story for another thread haha)

You should try Geth with a Batarian. You'll spend >50% of the match in stunlock.

Sure there are ways to make the geth a "easy enemy" with a teamsetup as some pointed out

But figting geth is simply just boring, cerberus employ cmobined arms tactics, slwly advancing on your position with cover from all sides and the phantoms, fun and my favborite faction (i do not choose them because they are easy, i like to fight them)

Reaper are a bunch of shocktroops with some heavy artillery and those sneaky marauder, another very fun bunch of enemys to fightm always putting pressure on your position with brute force

Geth, geth just take away playe3r control at any moment, got flamer with absurdly long range, rocket trooper firing 2-3 "this will hit you always" stunlock spam etc and so fortgh, geth are not fun, nothing is fun when it take control from the player and is then called a difficulty

Fortunately I like playing tech users more than Biotics so Geth are lulz

This.

Remember Geth cant instakill either. As a person who's two favorite classes are Engineer and Vanguard, Im pretty particular to destroying Geth regularly without problems.

[Crimson Vanguard]

i swear i saw the geth prime's projectile curved

There is more then one difficulty -.-

Yup, and they're cheap on all of them.

They aren't hard to kill...just hard to survive the instakills.

[The Waffle Cat]

Geth is slightly harder than reapers, just in PUG's its differet because people think geth --> camp behind desk

Wont work on condor, simpleas that.

Only reason they are any good ---> staggerfest

I'm assuming this is because of my character builds....but I've always found the Reapers to be easist.

And yeah it would be nice if I got points for "backfire"..but right now I'm experimenting with The Geth and Salarian Infiltrators

[jamesfrom818]

Geth are easy with grenade gear Drell Adept. Since they move in tight packs, Reave + Cluster demolishes them quite easily.

[UserUnknown85]

I've actually stopped playing random faction with my Krogan Sentinel. It was just unbearable. I swear I was spending half the match staggered. Plus, it's always annoying when you headshot a hunter/rocket trooper to stagger it after eating some plasma/a rocket to the face, then it just shoots anyway to finish you off... ridiculous.

[ForThessia]

so much truth here
Reapers Gold? sure
Geth Silver? NO

[Kama45]

OP has nailed it. They are cheap. Unfortunately, whenever they get a buff, it results in a dumbing down of the game. It also sucks that hunters' tactical cloaks are also anti-matter cloaks, allowing powers to pass right through them.

[samb]

The stun lock is basically an instant kill, except you can still be revived.... Only to be stun locked again.

 Eric Fagnan's post about the weekly changes and Geth and Reapers being neck to neck in difficulty has left the worried since they don't seem to understand that the problem with Geth is the CHEAPNESS and FRUSTRATION.

Look, I usually play in PUGs and yes, Reapers can be extremely diffficult if you have a few subpar players in your team. Even though without an organized team I probably only extract against Reapers about 50% of the time, I actually LIKE playing against them.

If a Banshee stabs me in the chest I know it's usually my fault and I should have stayed further away (excepting magnetic grabs ofc), if I get swarmed by a bunch of Brutes I know it's because our DPS wasn't enough, if I get sniped by a Ravager it's because I didn't get cover soon enough.

I may die quite a lot when fighting them, but it never feels cheap or really frustrating, and my skill is actally important in beating them. Thus, they Reapers are enjoyable.

The Geth on the other hand are composed of what we call "fake difficulty", which pretty much negates the player's skill and employs extremely frustrating tactics like frozen Hunters shooting at you, barrages of 3 missiles to the face, massive stunlock from every source, retardedly powerful Turrets which you can't even see sometimes... it just doesn't feel "fair" compared to the other factions, and that is why almost everybody hates playing Geth.

Being a videogame, FUN is the most important thing, and right now, Geth are simply NOT fun.

Just my 2c

Absolutelly agree. Geth are not that hard, but they cheapass bordeline cheaters.
