36 different urban areas that probably have round half the US population . I ' ve only checked the top 10 cities pop wise and round 8 of them ~ 115 of the US pop i would guess , all 10 are 113 are high , some ridiculously high <| sep |> We ' re not trying to be rude , we ' re trying to have a discourse on the post you put up . Part of this discussion is to have back and forths , and to disagree . But replying without properly countering a person ' s argument can make your assertions feel hollow . I would argue that it ' s not true that it ' s used the same way depending on the level of play . In lower level skill brackets , Titans ape skate at you with jug shield and shotgun you in the face . In high level play , Titans ape skate at you with ju . Well , in addition to apeing at you , they use it to rotate quickly . I think I get better what you ' re saying now . My read on what you ' re saying is that at let ' s say a handcannon fight distance , is that as an ability to disengageget an unexpected angle on someonejuke someone , titan skating is not a great option . I ' d agree . The only real option in these situations are to rapidly push , which is easily shut down , or skate way , and you ' re easily shot in the back or side . Totally fair . So for juking , disengaging , and having immunityinvisibility frames which shadestep has , titan skating is not a great option . Titan ' s do have Twilight Garrison for this , but I ' m going to leave that out of the discussion . What everyone else is saying is that in terms of rapid movement around the map , Titans are fantastic . Sir Demitrious has a video about the latest 4 v 4 tourney , and spoke about how important having a titan to rapidly move between zones was . We ' re now talking movement abilities when any enemy can ' t see you at all , they have no chance at hitting you whatsoever . This is when you ' re getting back into the fight , or getting angles . And the consensus on here , and in the sweaty community is that titan skating is fantastic for this . You say You can do this relocate and flank on any class , which you absolutely can . But you can ' t do it nearly as fast . I don ' t want to repeat my previous post , but the speed of titan skating is way faster , so you can rotate much quicker , which causes all sorts of problems on the enemy team . Like , in top tier play , especially 4 v 4 zone control , it can make a massive difference to a coordinated team . So yes , in a 1 v 1 gunfight with hardtoreach cover , things like shadestep , blink , and twilight are better than skating as movement abilities . But as an overall movement ability , titan skating offers a massive advantage to rotations and teamplay , especially in 4 s and 3 s . 6 s less so , definitely . And for a lot of players , the speed of rotations and being able to be in place and add to teamshots outweighs the benefits of picking another class with a better engagedisengage ability , especially if other people on your team are playing characters that can do that . Skating is also great when you can come around a corner with jug up , pushing in on a flank , because it ' s really hard to counter when you don ' t realize it ' s a Titan coming for you , and it ' s too late to react . If you have the time , check out the videos I ' ve linked . AE gabriel is an amazing striker titan . If you watch his gameplay , you ' ll see that he uses skating to get into position to help his team , then he moves normally . Sir Demitrious the 2 nd clip uses it in a similar way . TBH we ' re probably arguing the same point . If I want a class that can handle the close in stuff and juke people , especially if I ' m running solo and I ' m not using twilight , titan is not the pick I ' d take . If I ' m picking titan as a class to use in scrims so I can get in as many teamfights as possible , then striker is currently a pretty good pick , and a large part is because of titan skating . These opinions are based on playing with people from the Crucible Slack and queuing up against good players . I remember a night when by chance we ended up in skirmish against rojo and his fireteam this was when I was relatively new to ' sweaty ' play , somewhat to the frustration of my more experienced friends , and what surprised me was that rojo was not that scary when he skated at me . That was predictable . It was when we were team fighting and had taken damage and suddenly this titan was on our flank surprising us , teamwiping us , that I realised how important getting angles is . wu 4 pPaXrOdA 7 uCWVRVPz 4
