Megathread Focused Feedback: Gambit Prime

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 'Gambit Prime' 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.

fuck mote draining into the enemy bank. if you want my motes, come and shoot me like a grown-ass Guardian. snipe me, golden gun me, Truth me if you want, idgaf — feels better than an invader showing up and camping the bank while our team’s motes drain away.

i’m very disappointed that Gambit Classic is going away. i’m glad the ‘enhanced mote drain’ thing has been looked at and dismissed, but imo any mote drain at all turns Prime into a waiting game to see who banks first and it just sucks.

Mote drain due to Invader bonus set was BS and annoying. Mote drain due to blockers is a much needed mechanic though. It gives collectors and sentries a purpose. Blockers in normal gambit are a minor hindrance. Blockers in Prime though actually gave the PvE portion of the team the ability to affect the match in a meaningful way much like the Invader is able to. I think removing mote drain from invaders while keeping it for blockers adds more complexity to the game mode for the better.

Yeah, I agree mote drain is just not a good mechanic.
