Are the Kett unreasonabily more difficult than any other faction?

But the Hydra has a choke slam!

the kett in a nutshell

They are absolutely 100% more overdone than the other factions, starting with the fact that half the enemies in there faction have shields, one of there faction has an orb that unless destroyed is literally unkillable, and both that guy and Fiends can sync kill you from 20 feet away.

I stopped playing Kett entirely because I got tired of getting sync killed by sh** I was no where near, even once getting Sync killed through a wall by a Fiend who was attacking a teammate.

Hell its one more reason to play Vanguard or any other class that has Barrier, spec into Saving Barrier or whatever the hell its called and laugh as you get sync'ed and just get right back up like nothing happened.

Only annoying part of Remnent is the damned Observers, those f***ers even on Bronze seem to have unholy amounts of shields and health, and melt you instantly. God forbid you get caught out in the open with more than one Observer focusing on you and your dead before you can run like 20 feet to safety. Not to mention the little bastards can't even be melee'd unless there floating an inch off the ground making them a nightmare to fight if your a Vanguard.

IMO, really, if a game designer does not play his own game, this is what happens. These days, it is very easy to beat a human player in any game, even without active cheating. I'm not even talking about chess or go, just make some silly AI that has perfect targeting in shooters and voila, you have it. The challenge is to create something that is beatable and has enjoyable process to get that sweet victory. Kett in Meda are subjectively not enjoyable for me for a few reasons. They have insane accuracy, are invisible despite being hit, have glitchy sync kill units, stunlock from the other side of the map, and they all look the same. But yes, ME3 geth is like a joke compared to them. So, I completely agree and fail to see the point. There is some enemy that does not feel cheap and is a fun to play even though it is very tough and there is kett in Meda. IMO, it is just a case of copy pasting from single player without testing and tuning. Considering general lack of reasonable guns and abysmal powers, it makes them very difficult to deal with. But surprisingly, in a few gold games I was able to extract, I did not feel the sense of accomplishment. Outlaws and even remnants are fine, well, kett is just poorly designed. But I don't particularly enjoy roller coasters, there are some people who like it. Another IMO, these are not a majority in Meda multipayer, I have not seen many preset kett lobbies. Some are but then the host usually quits after dieing 5-6 times on waves 3-4 and running out of gel.

Collectors in ME3 were also very tough but defeating them was actually very enjoyable.

More like outlaws are way too easymode really, they have like whole 1 unit which is actually good.

Remnant is so so really, a decent infiltrator or anything with Vanquisher really can kill off observers pretty fast and destroyers are useless when you take out turrets.

Kett, IMO, is where it should be to begin with. Maybe Fiend sync is a bit too troublesome.

I do tend to agree with this statement actually. The game has only been out for a few days and we are already farming the highest difficulty, but only against one faction (9/10 quick matches in gold is set to Outlaws nowadays). I would have liked the game to offer more variety and challenge. Basically, gold should IMHO take a coordinated team, preferrably team work and decent weapons to accomplish. Now all it takes is four anythings that aren't afk and not using avengers.

Sorry, but how are the players expected to get "decent" weapons without playing a lot of gold? Considering the inflated size of the manifest and ridiculous dilution with garbage, including characters and consumables that drop there (did not happen in ME3, you can get there cryo ammo IV only after maxing the rare guns), I'm not sure a lot of people will be interested in playing silver to get their rares to intended level X and that magic 15% bonus to their damage so they can finally play gold. It seems that just playing gold from the very beginning will require about 500 hours to max the current manifest without any DLC items. After DLCs, it will probably jump up to 800 hours. Playing silver will probably at least double this time. It is just not practical. Also, there is neither bonus experience nor credits for playing unknown enemy on unknown map.

It can turn into a nasty problem for longevity of the game. People will get tired of playing same enemy/map combination and a significant fraction might just quit all together. Might not be of importance for Meda, as it is going to kill itself through crashes and broken servers plus buggy netcode/lag.

ME3 multiplayer has its share of glitches, including infamous triple tap rocket troopers and people's elbow but it never descended into this kind of darkness. Of course, people will find ways to deal with it eventually. But before that happens, farming outlaws/remnants is the reasonable way to advance the manifest.

everybody knew already that they are ridiculously OP compared to the other factions.

but what you wrote is very interesting because it's exactly what I have noticed, too: THE KETT ARE EVERYWHERE

maybe this is even the only thing which makes them OP.

you cannot kite them - you are constantly on the run, escaping like a chicken and still die eventually.

and of course this makes certain objectives impossible.

so, they don't need to get nerfed (in a classic sense).
they just need to get slowed down a bit and their spawn behavior needs to change

It just makes objective impossible, because people are irrationally afraid to use cobras. They are either too inconvenient to use or something, I don´t know.

Suffer like me playing on Silver because:

1. The best weapon I have is Raptor III
2. Not from North America nor Europe but a region with smaller player pool hence PuG is always laggy or nobody due to timezone differences. (See 3)
3. Able to survive on gold decently but cannot carry/solo hence without proper group can't reliably say Gold is on farm, as and when if ever  I can get RaptorX then maybe reliably can PuG Gold.

I feel that Cobra is not as effective as it was in ME3. Many times they don't kill all the enemies in the area. I have seen it kill only the Ascendant's orb and leave the Ascendant still standing. Then there were times I pressed the button to equip the Cobra but it was not equipped in time. I mostly PuG due to my region not having enough active players, and so I suffer from signifcant lag. So that might be responsible for these issues.

The inability to sprint or walk fast with Cobra active is also an issue.
