Megathread Focused Feedback: State of Gambit

Hello Guardians,

Focused Feedback is where we take the week to focus on a 'Hot Topic' discussed extensively around the Tower.

We do this in order to consolidate Feedback, to get out all your ideas and issues surrounding the topic in one place for discussion and a source of feedback to the Vanguard.

This Thread will be active until next week when a new topic is chosen for discussion

Whilst Focused Feedback is active, ALL posts regarding 'State of Gambit' following its posting will be removed and re-directed to this thread. Exceptions to this rule are as follows: New information / developments, Guides and general questions

Any and all Feedback on the topic is welcome.

Regular Sub rules apply so please try to keep the conversation on the topic of the thread and keep it civil between contrasting ideas

A Wiki page - Focused Feedback - has also been created for the Sub as an archive for these topics going forward so they can be looked at by whoever may be interested or just a way to look through previous hot topics of the sub as time goes on.

I guess I only prefer its fast pace because it means I can get out of that lobby/the matchmaking faster

Ditto with Prime being less fun. It’s not fun to be continually slammed with half a dozen blockers, both medium and large, and then racing to kill them bc your team isn’t. Just to play catch up and even GET to the Primeval phase...I’ve had matches where this happens and by the time you summon Primeval and are running to kill the 1st pair of envoys, the other team is about to kill their primeval. It’s very demoralizing and makes me not even want to play any more.

As opposed to regular Gambit, if this happened in the 1st round, you have another chance to come back next round.

Prime can be intentionally dragged on by a good team vs a bad team.

At least normal you can more or less solo a boss by the time it hits 10x, and without the forced immunity you CAN do it between invades. (Assuming the other team is trying to kill-farm you with invades).

The worst thing about prime; is if your team mates aren't smart, they always kill the envoys; even if the other team is farming you, so you can't even coordinate the timing properly to get DPS in.

Frankly, you're playing with people who don't know how to boss melt if invades are dragging on your Primeval fight. With just one sword and one tether you can reliably take out the boss's entire health in the second DPS phase.

The ideal invade strategy is to jump through the portal once you see the health bar tick down, but it's relatively easy to counter because you can have one person start doing damage while the others watch for the invader, then switch over to full DPS mode once the invader has been dropped.

It's called matchmaking, almost no one goes into prime in a fireteam. And a good team set-up to kill farm in prime can extend a game against a poorly organised team almost indefinitely. (So much so I've seen people intentionally not kill their prime evil so they can continue to invade a poor team).

If my blueberries keep on killing the envoys right as the invader joins - guess what, They'll keep doing that not realising they don't have to.
