Seeker swarms need far less health. Everything else I can deal with. I just shouldn't have to unload a clip into a ball of bees.

Too much boss spam, grenade spam, damage. Wall piercing lasers, scion cannons too overpowered. Collector Captains are like two Marauders rolled into one. Everything has too much HP. Bronze feels like Silver, Silver like Gold, etc.

Too many grenades from those Scions. The swarms are annoying, too. I have a pretty tough time against them unless I'm playing an Infiltrator; their heads are so huge that headshots are pretty much a given.

I despise them. Not fun on any difficulty. I absolutely avoid them unless I really need the extra XP. I wish we could do a quick match search for anything BUT the collectors.

I like them. They make fast moving classes even more effective. If you're a Drell or an Asari with good reflexes, then Scions and Praetorians aren't a threat unless you're cornered by them, which just leaves Troopers and Captains. They also promote teamwork, I.E. Having weapons based classes purposely get hit with Seeker Swarms, having people debuff possessed units, ETC.

Only got retaliation recently . Played a lot of bronze matches - they are same difficulty as other factions .

Played some silver matches , they're fine , I like them. Only thing I hate is the scion . They don't send shock waves like in me2 they're more like annoying versions of ravagers , I don't like the way they fire . Bit too similar to geth pyros in the sense that you can't always see where they're firing from etc . I like the praetorian , already had an insta kill

I like the Collectors mostly. I use a lot of different characters, but most of my favorite ones are effective against them. They are definitely the hardest faction, but they don't really seem cheap to me. I think they're great exactly as is. I actually like that they're so hard because it makes beating them feel like more of an accomplishment. I suppose the only thing I would change is Scions and Praetorians being possessable units. I think only Troopers, Captains, and Abominations should get possessed.

i like that they really give you that psycho-stress-scifi-alien-fear feeling, and that they keep you moving. i think they show how a faction is designed with 6 months experience

I do agree some of the bugs should be fixed, and some minor tonedown of Scion Spam/Swarm kill... but I second having these guys be an advanced race and having more XP/Credit payout. Adds more texture, gives the ability for new people to transition from regular silver/gold play as they improve their loadouts without wasting consumables with a terribad team.

Personally, I think they ought to make the collector webs more of a strategic target.... the longer a web is up, more possessions, more swarms, etc. I appreciate that BioWare noticed the well-armed bunker-down Gold farming was killing the fun of the game, and made the game a lot more aggressive. I don't think there a race that forces you to be on the attack so much, which would really add a twist.

I figure enough time has passed, that we can give an assessment on the Collector Faction. Rate the Collectors as if they were around since day 1. In other words, factor out their "new car smell."

What do you like about them (besides their newness)?

What do you hate about them?

What do you think needs buffing, and how would you buff them?

What do you think needs nerfing, and how would you nerf them?

I like their new-ness. It's a new faction and it's somewhat fun to play. And Possessed Abominations are the life of the party when they're in the middle of your squad.

I hate the Scions. They're OP.

Nothing needs a buff. Everything's already powerful.

Scions need a nerf. Their cannon, which I've been told deals 3000 damage per shot on all difficulties, needs to be nerfed, as it three-shots all characters, first hitting shield gate, then health gate, then killing you. The grenades are fine.

I love that they make me use entirely different tactics to deal with them; they're formidable foes.

I hate that they're the most durable faction; that's not very balanced in my opinion.

They don't need any buffs at all.

The Trooper/Captain/Abomination/Seeker Swarms need their health/barriers to be toned down quite a bit to make them balanced enemies.

Overall, I give them a 9/10.

The Webs can trap you if you get too close.

I think Praetorians move too fast. But even that wouldn't be a problem if there weren't as many as three chasing you around at once. That many of those things flying around lasering everything in sight while a couple of Scions 'nade and zap you and the rest of the gang chips in as well. Well it's just not fun put it that way. Yes this gripe is based mostly on a bad time I had at Vancouver today. There was much violation. It hurt. I still find sitting uncomfortable.

Scions 1-shot kills from right across the other side of the map need to go. Also, Collector Troopers and Captains insta-stomps need to be adjusted.

 I love the Collector enemy faction.

The list of good things I have to say about them is too long for me to bore you with.

Seriously... They really don't need a buff! lol

IMO I think that there should not be more than one possessed Pretorian/Scion enemies at any given time. For the abominations, troopers and captains... I don't really mind to see more than one.

Fighting against 2 possessed Scions, a possessed preatorian, a normal preatorian, 2 possessed captains, 2 possessed abominations plus a few low level trooper types... Overkill, not fair, not cool!

Everything I wanted in a faction. Incredibly challenging, but not cheap, and impossible without teamwork and strategy. They also really reward tanks and support classes. I love them.

I like the Collectors - awesome faction. They have a very hectic, high energy feel to them. Keeps you moving.

I love how Abominations force you to prioritize a low level mook. Possessions just make things interesting. I blew one up in a hack the other day and took out all three of my team mates. It was kinda funny :D.

I think swarms need either a health decrease or a point increase. As it is, they take as much to kill as a 2nd tier mook, which is ok, but you get so few points for it. Cerberus Turrets as a comparison give you 5 or 6 times as many points.

Scions... I do have a problem with scions. Every other boss in the game has either a predictable pattern of attack or an animation that indicates what attack they're initiating. Scions just sit there and then BOOM you're either dead or sitting in a pile of grenades - but you don't know which is coming. I'd like to see some kind identifiable attack animation. If there is one and I missed it someone please enlighten me.

But, Collectors are good. Fun! Variety!

I'd like the Preatorians a bit slower it feels like they overrun me everytime. and ofc their beam which follow me behind walls. ofc nearly every unit in MP can shot through walls and anything, but they do a bit to much.
the Scion's shot a bit to unexpected, i loved them more in ME2. it was challenging to get out of their way. and grenades why? you can't sit in a cover for more than 2 sec anyways. no matter what enemy faction
Seeker Swarms are absolutely unneeded annoyance, to laggy movement and have far to much hitpoints...
same as the possesed abnorbations. explode like a f'cking nuke. i want a weapon or greande that explodes like that!!!
what happend to the good old time when only troopers or captains got possesed by harby.

and ofc harbys voice itself is missing.

What do you like about them (besides their newness)?

Pretty challenging especially when possessed, I like how easy it is to headshot the Captains and Troopers, and the swarms are a unique enemy which do something no other unit in the game does.

What do you hate about them?

They are tough SOB's and the Scions are cheap with their uber powered cannons and clusternades when possessed.

What do you think needs buffing, and how would you buff them?

lol buffing you're funny. Honestly I would buff the Praetorians but make them spawn less. Like spawn max 2 per higher waves but make them tougher to take down. Having 3 or more out on Silver matches is asinine and while they aren't to tough to take down they are fast and huge so they are tough to get away from especially if you're doing a small map like Glacier.

What do you think needs nerfing, and how would you nerf them?

Nerf the damage of Scions and also fix the Praetorians cheap eye laser glitch of going through cover and walls. Also make it so Posessed Abominations have a delay before explosion of say 1 second so you can at least dodge or hop step away from the primary impact zone. That's about it really.

 Their voice needs fixing to ME2 one:wizard:

Praetorian beam needs fixing because it goes through walls (and you will never know will it go through your wall or not) and hits you even if you had moved outside it. Even on host.
Praetorian also uses magnetic... nipper? if you're close to it but he isn't facing you.
Everything else is fine
