What’s your worst BR experience?
Mine’s probably when I had a Zenith Fury teammate who spent the first minutes of the game standing next to an uncapped beacon.
I noticed an uncapped one at the beacon score and I searched for the uncapped one. Lo and behold, I found it next to a teammate and I ended up capping it myself. The Fury must have thought he’s a planet-killer and can’t be disturbed, even though he’s firing a Nerf gun.
With the titans coming to the game, I’ve noticed the increasing importance of having a good beacon lead early on. Back then, without the titans, if the enemy team has no tank in their lineup, they’ll be forced to hold and defend their beacons with whatever bots they have.
Now, every player has a giant defender. Imagine if you’re four beacons behind and you decided to do a mid or late game beacon run. It’s more than likely that the enemy has a titan fully charged to defend. Titans might be slow but they can just stand on top of a beacon and you won’t be able to get it. And if ever you try to 1v1 the said titan, its tons of HP would probably be enough to buy time for its teammates to spawn on that said beacon.
This is what I’ve experienced in most of my games. It’s harder to get a comeback beacon run since most players have titans up their sleeves. I guess this is just one of the ways titans could impact the meta.
