This is coming from someone with 4000 hours of gameplay with all the DLCs. Champions ruin the whole idea of buildcrafting in Destiny and the point of looting and farming. We grind to get all the exotic armors, weapons, godrolls, and unlock our subclasses—across multiple characters—just so we can try out different builds in higher-level content. But Champions ruin the entire purpose of playing Destiny 2. After putting all that time into collecting exotics and abilities, and making tons of unique builds with specific perks and interactions or synergies, they become useless when facing Champions, especially Barrier and Overload, such as in Master and Grandmaster activities. They’re literally unkillable without using specific exotics or the artifact weapons of the season. I don’t want to use the builds I’ve worked 100s of hours to obtain and make just to kill mobs in the Cosmodrome or even in dungeons or raids. I want to test them in harder content with tougher opponents, without being forced to run anti-Champion exotics or seasonal artifact mods. Champions basically erase all the time I’ve spent, and instead force me to pick from the 1-2 builds Esoterickk uses to beat Nightfalls, which is boring and pointless. I want to use my weapons, my gear, my combos—not just whatever the season or the meta says I have to or else. Let me use my loot!!!
