Correction, I did forget to mention the one thing Collectors are good for,

Collectors are good for sending QMR messages saying "Sorry I bombed you, I was trying to bomb Sterling.:"

 

True story. Quarians are so OP they need to sabotage one another if they're to go down.

[Darth Volus]

Reapers are the least glitched, after the Banshee magnet fix. They also give the fairest warnings (Brute charges are avoidable, Ravagers emit lazers before shooting, you can hear the Banshees coming and so on) They also don't dodge powers, except Marauders (but they hack, because they are Fat Turians otherwise)

 

Cerberus is curried by Phantoms and to lesser extent Dragoons. Everything else is pretty much a joke. Nemesis are a joke, Guardians are a joke. Engineers are a joke by themselves. Atlas can be somewhat a cheater with it's all physics breaking rocket stagger and it's pretty good at exit blocking, but it's by no means a Preatorian. 

 

Collectors were pretty much designed from the ground to be anti-camping and Biower went too far. They have the most health, they can get randomly possessed with no drawbacks, only pros. They lock your powers with glitched Seekers, the carpet bomb the **** out of everything if you're in cover and laz0r or cannon stagger you, if you're out. Praetorians are invincible to powers pretty much 90% of the time, and when they are vulnerable to them, they are most likely shooting at you, turning an entire area into a dead zone in front of them. A-bombs can wipe out entire teams in hack or escort zones and you can only back away from them or cut their head off, because shooting them in the head often still results in a nuke. Collectors also give you the least XP, making them less preferable to newbies. 

 

Geth. All units are broken, except the basic trooper. End of story. The most retarded design, probably in game history, completely based on staggering the player and taking all control away from him and calling it a challenge.

I have to say, I enjoy the fact that the first person to give a list turned mine upside down.

I noticed that after I posted my reply. I'm being honest with my list though.

[Indoctornated]

I'm really falling behind on catching up with all the hot BSN action happening all of a sudden. And I still need to quickly squeeze in a couple of ME3mp games. And with all the massively long detailed posts in this topic... could someone please tell me if there's any drama in here before I decide to read all this posts? Like, is anyone got beef with my faction listing for starters?

After all those speedruns, I think you are just sick of Cerberus.

[Indoctornated]

^ Hey, Nightman agrees with me.

[TheNightSlasher]

That's when their BS really showed. I used to dislike geth more but all those solos changed my mind.

Outside of solos and themed challenges, I don't play cerberus.

What BS in particular?  Just curious.

[Indoctornated]

Megabeast opened my eyes to Cerberus BS after a post he made. Ever since I slowly started to see why Cerberus is so annoying. Really hate that this happened. Miss the days when I thought Cerberus was fine. 

[junker1990]

Geth

Cerberus

Reapers & Collectors, I really can't decide who is worse.

[q5tyhj]

I don't have much of a preference between the 3 real factions anymore, except for lolps3/noframesforyou issues with Collectors. Geth suck donkey balls and should not exist... that's really all there is to it.  

[SirDieAL0t]

collector - fun

 

geth, reaper - okey

 

cerb - okey but sometimes annoying specially with phantom+goon pew pew combo and atlas's unpredictable shots, more so then prime or praetorians. 

[TheNightSlasher]

These are what I find BS. Others may disagree but w/e.

1. Phantom DR. it punishes rapid fire weapons more than high damage, low RoF guns. Other bosses don't do that, their damage taken purely depends on the DPS of the gun.

2. Smoke. We all complain about crabs being silent, pyros being silent etc. cerberus throw smoke everywhere through which they can shoot with perfect accuracy. And enemies can rush you through the smoke.

3. Turrets. Arguably the worst pet. They have some of the highest dps and are armored. Plagues and swarms lock powers and mess accuracy, but you can take a few second break and resume fighting. Turrets, more often than not kill you once exposed. Much worse than other pets. Plus, turrets are the most bugged pets. They can go invisible so often, they don't self destruct on ghost hazard.

4. Goons choose whether to get staggered or not. All others get staggered when in the middle of their animations if you use enough force. Goons ignore them a lot of times. once they stagger you, they can keep you staggered forcing lot of consumable use.

5. Atlas volley of 4 rockets go through cover as it pleases. Yes, other bosses shoot or cast pets through cover too, but they all have distinct animations. Atlas' 4 rocket volley has no clear animation. Other bosses give you heads up that potential bs can happen, atlases don't.

I can go on but those are the top 5. All factions have BS but cerberus top the list for me.

You forgot the mention the constant shield/health gating this faction is capable of this time around. But yeah. Still a great list.

Collectors

Reapers

Cerberus

Geth

 

Makes sense. You're a PyschoticBiotic after all.

 

 

 

EDIT - in case someone doesn't get the joke and I get another warning. Biotics own Collectors and Reapers.

[Ashevajak]

CAT-6.

Eclipse mercs.

Varren zerg rush.

Thresher maw.

ME1 Geth.

Mako.

[TheTechnoTurian]

Cerberus - I like the variety. Goons are hot.  

 

Geth - I don't even mind stunlock much. Those faction is kind of dull and more annoying than threatening. I actually hate them off-host more than any other faction despite the lack of magnet syncs  

 

Reapers - banshees and ravagers are fuckin crap, everything else about this faction is okay. 

 

Collectors - what a goddamn snore-fest, they're annoying but they're also very boring to me. When I bring a weapons class I get disappointed when I get collectors because those huge heads are like an insult to my lack of aiming skill

 

I actually don't much like any of the enemy factions and think there's a lot of room for improvement in the next game.

I'd like to add a couple of annotations:

 

4. Goons will always get staggered if enough force is applied, EXCEPT when they start their dash animation. Nothing will stagger them then. What is more annoying is them canceling their animations (roll, dash, melee) at will to gun you down with Hornet MCMXVII

 

5. Atlas shooting through cover seems to be the usual consequence of fake walls (I know exactly which spots on Glacier I can expect an Atlas wallbang from, and play accordingly). The issue is more pronounced with Cerberus because the volley fires at near-hitscan speed.

I never thought I'd ever read something like that.
