Pugs are the most deadly unit in the game. You can never tell WTF will happen with one of them in game.

^Carrying Pugs is like carrying those eggs, one mistake (sync-kill) and they all break so easily.

Nice analogy.

Lol, you know that dog is like **** this I'm taking the stairs.

I mostly die because of pugs and cover.

Reapers: Banshees
Cerberus: Dragoons
Geth: Primes and their pets
Collectors: MemoryLeak

Reapers: Banshee -- They're a time-sink when using certain weapons/characters - and they often glitch out so that their teleports have no sounds (been grabbed from behind by silent banshee's so many times thanks to this).

 

Cerberus: Phantoms -- I don't mind their sync-kill ability - it's their stupidly accurate palm-snipes from 20miles away that bug me the most.

 

Geth: Primes -- Once you get a few Primes (and their friends) on the field, prepare for a stagger party.

 

Collectors: Scions -- Grenades, grenades, grenades, dodgy hitbox letting them soak more damage than they should -- more grenades, the occasional snipe, grenades...

 

 

 

Regarding previous posts saying Geth Hunters are their least favourite (and targeting them being difficult during full stealth) -- you can bypass this by putting the Hunter into fuzzy-stealth (taking damage, making them slightly more visible). This allows your melee/abilities to auto-target them even if their stealth hasn't been completely removed. Best way to describe it is to only use stuff against them when you get that orange target-box around them (either by being super close -- but they'll break stealth anyway), or inflicting a little damage first - then backhand the metal-scumbag.

... You do realize that the fact that there's a (somewhat) workaround for a unit borkendness (and yeah that's a new word just for them), doesn't make said borkendness less borked, right?

Collectors: MemoryLeak

 

The silver lining is that it gives us lolps3 users a legitimate excuse to avoid them, thus sparing us from Possessed Scions, Possessed Abominations, Seeker Plagues, and the rest of the appalling rubbish that Collectors pull on a regular basis.

Exactly. The fact that you have to do a bunch of janky stuff to get around the units obnoxiousness in the first place is more or less the complaint.

moreover, I'm fine with the cloak preventing autotargeting of powers. Just shoot them. I want to know how do I get around ragdolled/frozen/staggered/otherwise CC'd and dead hunters ability to continue shooting me.

*Hey, I know these units aren't part of those factions, but damn, Geth have so many annoying units while the Reapers and Collectors do not ..

We can shoot GPS when getting staggered, while running, when dodging and when under fire - why shouldn't they?

[akots1]

Worst enemy from Reapers is banshee.

From Cerberus also banshee.

From Geth is banshee.

Did I say banshee already?

Never mind.

From Collectors the worst enemy is banshee.

 

All other enemies pale in comparison. I die to banshee sync kills in every game on every wave every day. Regardless of fraction.

 

They steal your soul and violate your integrity.

Their screams alone are obnoxious enough to qualify them for "worst unit" conversations, but those same screams make it pretty hard to not hear them coming- I wonder if your problem is a L2-turn-the-volume-on-your-TV-up issue? Usually if I get synced by a Banshee it was because I lost audio when someone joined and didn't hear her coming, got stuck on cover with almighty X button nonsense, or she pulled a BS teleport from halfway across the map straight into a tummy-tickle...

What if I told you that there is a such thing as silent Banshees? Or as a teammate calls them "HOLY ****, IT'S A GODDAMN SILENT BANSHEE"!!!!!!

But yeah, as I mentioned, definitely a top cause of Banshee syncs for me. When you can actually hear the screams though, getting synced by a Banshee should be fairly rare and flukey. Phantoms are the real bastids because you can't hear them coming from 30 miles away.

I don't have no TV. That is my problem, I think. Otherwise, no, no problem.

That's entirely down to the player. Personally, I have no problem shooting one bullet before casting an ability or performing melee. The complaints were simply that heavy melee and/or certain abilities simply wouldn't hit just because they attempted to attack a fully stealthed and unharmed Hunter - even if HM was perfectly spaced, it may not connect. I just said shoot first then feel free to backhand or throw your blueberries. Doesn't make it any less annoying, no - but I dig the whole over-reaction thing - because taking 1 second to do 'anything' first is so hard, clearly.

I would not need to think twice about agreeing if I have the option to change praetorians, atlases and primes into banshee. wall penetrating laser + missile; stun lock; a gun that actually do dmg > jump scare
