Honest question, not tryint to troll or start a flamewar. And of course realizing that everyone has their own opinions and are entitled to them...
I actually like playing Geth. Of course, I also like playing as an engineer character, which have powers that do better against Geth. Yes, Primes are no fun, and bombers troll pretty hard (especially if they're one of the targets on the 4 target waves, they keep running away and kill a solo attempt on wave 10 because the timer ran out), but every faction has at least 1-2 units that cause teeth gnashing and mumbled/shouted profanity.
So is this really a preference issue? Am I missing something by not having tried them at higher difficulties (mostly Bronze and Silver, because I'm not that great)?
Why do people hate playing against Geth?

Stunlock is worse on higher difficulties, yes.

The easiest way to understand why people hate Geth is to pick your best character, set the game to gold and try a solo. When the first prime shows up and stagger-locks + spawns turret behind you to death, you'll understand. They are infinitely more brutal on duo/solo where all the stun/stagger nonsense is directed your way and your way only.
In 4 player games where people are actually playing to win they are not that bad. That annoying hunter stunlocking you will probably be killed by a teammate or that prime coming your way may get distracted and his turrets/drones will get killed by a friend. When its just you, they're all coming your way.

Games against geth aren't fun, they are a chore.
I *hate* fighting the geth. Perma-stun lock is no way to play. Bronze and silver, are, well, bronze and silver.
Try them on gold or platinum where the primes are out in force and dropping you & your team with cross-map perfectly aimed cannon shots, drones and bombers stunning from miles away, rocket troopers drilling three fast shots to your face,
ugh.
If just *one* less part of the faction had the ability to stun, it would make it much more enjoyable to play.
Just my humble opinion

Stunlock on higher difficulties can sometimes be like an instakill, except slow and aggravating. Imagine getting stunned so much that you cannot move at all. It is torture, that's what it is.

If you take a destroyer, Krogan, or Batarian, they are easier to handle. If you take squishy characters without stagger resistance, it can turn into a lot of 1,2,3 dead. Rocket troopers, hunters, primes, drones, and bombers all can stagger you and knock you out of cover where everything then stunlocks you so you can't do anything. The worst feeling in this game is mashing buttons and nothing happens, or happens once you're dead.

Pick your best character/weapons and have three of your friends do the same. Play Geth/Platinum through wave 2 then get back to us, if you don't slit your wrists during the game.

I have no idea. It's certainly no worse than fighting the Collectors at Silver and Gold.

I'd say you are missing what frustrates most by not playing them on the higher difficulties. Their wave composition is what makes Gold/Platinum vs. Geth significantly more aggravating.

Stun. Stun stun stun.
People like to play the game, not watch helplessly as their character flails about, entirely unable to respond.

Are there primes on every wave in Geth/Platinum? If so, LOL!

Well because I usually play with the Destroyer, I don't have to many issues with the stunlock. But I still hate Primes with a passion. I can hardly put down a solid line of fire without a drone or turret forcing me to stop.

There are three on wave two active at once. It's not the Primes, it's their Fing drones. You can usually time the Prime shots and move without getting hit. The drone neutralizes movement altogether and can hit you around corners where you usually have RHA. Add to the fact the turrets appearing behind you that do insane damage in a short period of time. And the stunlock, oh the stunlock.N7Dropout1 wrote...

I don't mind playing them, but they are definitely the main cause of most of my rage-induced tantrums.
Case in point: playing Gold with friends last night. Got Hazard Ghost/Geth. My friend gets taken down by a Hunter. I run over and try to kill the Hunter quickly so that I can revive my friend. I quickly get taken down both by the Hunter I was shooting and a second one who'd crept up behind me, basically stunlocking me to the point of nothing to do but die.
My friend had to waste a medigel when it became obvious my rescue attempt had failed miserably. I ragegelled and then immediately ragerocketed. One missile for just two Hunters. Completely justified. Bastards.

4 times. In a row.
