Yeah , the increase in Ion usage as people realize she is an effective Tone counter has been fun to watch . Titanfall has so much depth of gameplay that it is going to take months for the meta to stabilize , especially with the influx of new players this holiday season . All the little mechanical tricks and odd physics interactions make interplay between all the various elements incredibly complex . I honestly hope that they all stay that way , regardless if intended by the devs or not . It creates some very dynamic moments and fun little highlight plays . Just learning proper use of Vortex Shield against Tone is a whole minigame in and of itself , and it feels fantastic when you catch an entire Q salvo from Tone and hurl it back into her face , annihilating her particle wall and doing a decent amount of damage . I really pray that Respawn doesn ' t listen to the kneejerk reactions of players and instead approaches balancing with patience and meticulous observation at the moment while people are still learning and the dust is still settling from our jetpacks . Otherwise we may end up with severely undertuned gunsTitans .
