Not a big fan of swarms/plagues being able to still make explosive contact even though you're a few yards away and in another room.  A possessed Abomination won't hurt you upon it's death if you're behind hard cover but plague explosions will?   That makes sense...:?

Other than butt lazors (especially off-host) everything else about the Collectors I can deal with.

Actually prefer them to Geth. Apart from the Praetorian's but I've never been against them on Gold or Platinum. Was waiting to get some more UR's and better Char's before doing that.
I think Cerberus are prob easiest faction once you have decent kit.

Only things they need to do with the collectors in my opinion at least is tone down the frequency of the swarms (that would justify keeping the health right where it's at), and tone down the movement speed of the praetorian. It's like the praetorian bit the head off of a crackhead before coming to the multiplayer. Other than those two things, I'm ok with them. I know I'm one of the few that find them fun. Also juking the scion's shots is fun as hell with the asari, I usually have Can't Touch This going in my head when doing that lol.

Hmm I think Reapers are hands down the easiest faction, easy Gold credits IMO.

They give a good fight, and punish you if they catch you out.

(easy headshots too)

I was just going to come here and post this. Their ginormous heads make for great target practice. Sure, Scions and Praetorians are a pain, and aboms keep you on your toes.... But there's nothing quite as satisfying as venting my frustrations with every satisfyingly pulpy, squelchy headshot.

Things that aren't fun about Collectors:

-Powers getting hosed and favoring guns
-Dealing with scions on open maps/scions having too much hp in general
-Seeker swarms/plagues being too tank. Why can a seeker plague take a claymore shot and live?

The only broken thing about the Collectors is the plague. Those things have a large explosion radius and deal a lot more than damage than they should. Otherwise the Collectors are fun and they are my 2nd favourite faction.

I agree. Hard to get a team wipe against the Reapers on Gold if you're paying attention to the Ravagers and Banshees. One cleverly placed Turret, however, and Cerberus can do you in rather easily.

Going back to the Collectors, the problem with them is that they're lethal at a distance and even more lethal up close. If you keep the Geth at a distance, it's just a matter of dodging rockets. Cerberus isn't a huge deal up close as long as you keep Phantoms and Dragoons at bay. The Reapers are easy to dance around. Collectors, though? At a distance, you have Scions spamming rockets and grenades, Captains with 100% accuracy, and Praetorian lasers. Up close, you have Trooper/Captain melee attacks (worse than People's Elbow), Abominations, and insta-killing Praetorians, not to mention Scions who are much more accurate close-range than Primes or Ravagers (not Rocket Troopers).

Take the glitch factor (lasers through walls, BE damage reduction) out, and they're still extremely tough. But at least they'd be enjoyable.

So start your own group and whine less.

I like the explosions but the swarm health is kind of stupid. No reason for a pet summon to have that much health and so little XP rewarded.

One of the most satisfying things about going against Collectors is popping Collector heads while they're behind cover. Their heads are so large, it's kind of hard for a competent sniper to miss them.

They aren't harder than the geth, thanks to less stuns. Not bad to play against, but not the most enjoying either.
