HM avoidance strat that is reminiscent of Crota (Destiny)

I'm criticizing the encounter, not the players.

If the encounter essentially requires that you avoid the enemies rather than fighting them, as a primary winning mechanic... well then that's not a well designed encounter.

It's like hiding behind the boxes when fighting valus ta'auric. Sure, it makes it possible when it otherwise wouldn't be (which is deateable anyhow), but it saps the fun out of the game.

As a shooter, to have destiny avoid the player shooting... from a gameplay perspective it doesn't make a lot of sense as a desired mechanic. Cover is important, sure, but in my opinion it shouldn't be a front and center mechanic on what is the pinnacle of a raid.

It makes sense from a "hey, look, i got this loot from oryx!" kind of stance, but not from an "I really enjoy this fight!" in the game sense. I'm supposed to be becoming legend, not becoming a cowering guardian that hides behind a pillar.

To each their own. Sorry if I've offended anyone in particular, that wasn't my intent.
