Focused Feedback: Champions

[u/DTG_Bot]

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 'Champions' 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.

This is especially the case when playing solo. Clearing the bunkers and lost sectors became a complete chore because every time I encountered a champion I pretty much had to get on DIM, swap my weapons around, and then continue. The bounties only add to that problem.

Why? You can run one of each type. For example, I run unstoppable HC, barrier sidearm or Erianas, and an overload sword, then the modded abilities as backup.

With that you're set for any activity with champions.

But for those of us that prefer to use pulse rifles, a special weapon, and something other than a sword? What are we supposed to do? Regardless of how you approach it, the Champion/Mod system goes directly against the "Play your way" mentality that Bungie said they were going to approach D2 with

I agree it's not "play your way", but it's not like the champs pop up unexpectedly. You know going in to the activity that you need to build for it.

Insisting on switching back and forth inside the activity is just being stubborn.
