I like to think of myself as a very solid player but far from 'elite'. I've never completed a sucessful solo platinum (I always go down wave 10 while attempting objective). Solo gold is easy enough assuming I don't get sync-killed. I regularly do platinum speed runs on glacier (average of about 16 minutes) with friends. I also love Rio when looking for PUGs. No, I don't use the box. I choose to run around the map while the other 3 typically cower in fear. (It's hilarious listening to them at times... "GET IN THE BOX!!!!!" lol)
Now that you know a little about me, time to hear my complaints. I really only have one- the geth juggernaut.
I was given the geth juggernaut as the 'freebie' char and decided to try him out. It took less than a match for me to realize this guy is overpowered. I confirmed it by doing a solo gold glacier-reaper without any equipment bonuses AND without using any consumables during the match. Granted, it took over 45 minutes but still... I stood in the center of the map and stayed put. When the enemy came near, I'd shoot, melee, shoot, melee, etc. If I got swarmed, I'd use my siege to get them off of me. I literally did not move more than 3 meters unless it was an objective wave.
I did a platinum run with him... this time with gear. AP rounds 4, Strength 3, Cyclonic 4, and juggernaut shield 5. At one point in time, I had 2 banshees, 2 phantoms, 2 brutes, a ravager, and a hunter surrounding me. Granted, the phantoms were doing a number on me... I dropped a turret for extra shields then focused my melee on the phantoms. After 9 long minutes, everything was dead and I was still alive- without using a consumable. I would've needed to use a couple ammo packs but thankfully I was standing right next to an ammo box.
Simply put, no character should ever be capable of taking that type of damage and still kill everything without going down. He NEEDS to be nerfed. I'm not even asking for much... A simple reduction of health from the ungodly 2k+ (with hardened platform) to something more realistic like 300. Afterall, it's synthetic, not organic. (Why does it even have health in the first place?)
Rant / Story time over.
*EDIT*
For those of you saying he's all about tanking and has no damage, you're doing it wrong. If I'm running the Juggy, I'm consistently breaking the 100k mark (Platinum runs) while playing with 3 other players. I've yet to finish on top of the scoreboard, but 2nd and 3rd is pretty standard. This statement holds true even when the other three (very competent) players are running as EDI units. Juggy may not do as much damage but he doesn't have to run around, dodge, etc. He stands still and shoots everything not concerning himself with shields. This alone makes up for his lack of damage.
Even on Rio, 4 plot objective is not a concern. The longest map and it takes less than a minute to go from side to side. One juggernaut can complete all 4 objectives, even if each one is on the opposite side of the map.
On a side note, I just had my wife play a game of platinum with the juggy. She's never played the game before and is FAR from a gamer. She plays peggle now and then but that's it. I told her "Push this button, then this button." Granted she died twice and used up a good portion of consumables, mostly by accident. But the fact is, she extracted on platinum with PUGs. Sadly, she was only one of two that extracted. Worse, she finished with second highest points. Her statement at the end of the game was the icing on the cake... "That was easy".
He may be boring to play and hardcore folks will probably stay away from him. That doesn't take away from the fact he's WAAAY overpowered.
