Retire your precious Super Slayer, 343

Super Slayer is one of the few playlists that actually deserves to die. It has a consistently low population and doesn’t offer much that Team Slayer can’t.

Why not add TU game types to Team Slayer instead of removing some of the best playlists in the darn game like Anniversary BTB?

At least remove Anniversary Firefight instead. ONE MAP PLAYLIST? What are you thinking?

Please don’t skin Reach while it’s still alive, 343. Just wait til November.

Yes, let’s take the Super Slayer playlist away and add the TU to Team Slayer, the most popular playlist in the game. Totally logical. The whole point of Team Slayer is to have Vanilla Reach available through Reach’s playability which is what 343 has always said they would do.

Super slayer is pretty popular and i enjoy it over full bloom any day.

pretty popular really. At hours I am playing Super slayer with 400-700 people and anniverary BTB 800-1100 people.

Remove the playlist. There are no logical arguments to keep it, when we have two other pure Slayer playlists in Team Slayer and The Arena, especially when other more unique playlists like Anniversary BTB and Action Sack get the cut.

is it not possible to have TU gametypes in team slayer that people could vote for?
surely this would have made more sense in the beginning of TU an example for you:

1 - slayer on pinnacle
2 - TU slayer dmrs on pinnacle
3 - slayer dmrs on imago

this way surely people who want to play vanilla can vote for it the sam as people who want TU still have the option to!

Super slayer is better than team slayer. Why would we stick TU in team slayer where I have to hope I get stuck with logical people match after match that vote for the 85% bloom over those that vote for the derp 100% bloom?

I’d much rather have super slayer stay so I can just play TU every match.

there are more TU playlists not just superslayer, the arena for example?

kind of ubfair to call players illogical for playing vanilla (lols at sounding like spoc!) it is hard to balance it for everyone but personally i dont see the reasoning behind super slayer as i said the arena is a 4v4 TU playlist (i think but there is definitely less bloom) do we really need two playlists almost exactly the same?

Arena is nothing like super slayer though. Arena has an even lower population, is a failure for a ranked playlist, and doesn’t include the same map variety SS has. I would never play broken arena if SS got removed. Bad idea.

except for map choices and limited AA’s i dont really see the difference could you please explain?
Most super slayer matches voted have DMR starts the same as arena, yes the ranking system is kind of messed up but still no different to how you get matched in super slayer.

Stupid Slayer matches teams vs teams. Team Slayer does not.

They aren’t going to retire it, and they aren’t going to add the TU to team slayer - especially now that vanilla playlists got their own “standard” hopper. What they should do is make Super Slayer Anniversary DLC required though. It doesn’t need to be full DLC required as Anchor 9 is the only non-anni DLC that supports 4v4, but adding the Anni maps into SS would basically double the non-forged map selection.

Doesn’t Tempest have 4v4 gametypes too?

Do you really want to play Tempest 4v4? Especially with the chance of AR starts?

I didn’t say that! Nononononono. Just saying that I am pretty sure Tempest is considered 4v4 too.

But AR’s on Tempest >> AR’s on Highland. Or Breakpoint. >.<

Condemned/Uplink also supports 4v4 gametypes as well.

Oh. Well, I’m sure the amount of players who actually want to play 4v4 Tempest is low enough to just not even consider it.

And Breakpoint is horrid for everything. I once had to play it in Team Snipers.

I played one game of that that was actually pretty fun, surprisingly. I kind of like Breakpoint though. It’s a great change from Hemorrhage. :stuck_out_tongue:

Hehe, ever played AR’s on Hang 'em High?

But no OP, Super Slayer should stay. Its bad enough they took away ZB slayer, but don’t take away the last playlist that has an option of ZB and armor abilities.

They are two very different gameypes, one that is vanilla, the other title updated… keep them sperate.

We still talking about Super Slayer, why not introduce DLC to the arena or a voting option in Team slayer for TU, simply put Super Slayer is literally a mix of arena/team slayer and i for one dont think its needed.
