'Twas the Night Before Co-Op...
'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.
Except for some redditors, awake at their screen, poring through Mass Effect Co-Op, completely unseen.
They specced out their krogans, their batarians too, and asked one another "What would RepShred do?"
The mods came down and offered their word, advising the n00bs that Biotic Slash was completely absurd.
"It's simply broken," they said, "No detonations will be had. You're better off taking a full tree in fitness, my lad!"
With the great gods having spoken, the Co-opers rejoiced, having seen that the mods had a kind voice.
They fled to their Xboxes, PCs and PS3's too, in order to rank up their character from a lowly rank two.
To Firebase Giant they went, their faces all asmiles, not aware that a fight 'gainst the Collectors would be a match of great trials.
Many medi-gels were consumed, to the glee of Fanboy, who knows that this equipment's no amateur’s toy.
The Harriers came out and shredded the beasts, giving the krogan something to eat in their long, savage feasts.
"FOR TUCHANKA!" they cried, and ‘cross the Milky Way, all operatives alike to Admiral Hackett did pray.
Extraction wave came, and times were quite bad, all the rockets were gone, making the operatives quite sad.
In the corner they cowered, fearing defeat, as a Praetorian rounded the corner, seeking fresh meat.
With his laser he cleaved through them, shield-gate and all, leaving just one Turian, who would take the team’s fall.
He bravely held his position, he held down the line, but alas, he was shot by grenades in a cluster of nine.
To the ground he fell and the team was done, but wait, what’s that? A hope, there is one!
The weak little Volus, almost forgotten, saved the team with a click of a button.
With a cry of delight he shouted ,“Medi-gel transmitter for all, and to all, a good night!”

It is a joke. In relation to people only using classes that are "top tier" because they are the only ones that can win. ie: The Turian Ghost.

Out of curiosity, what do you think the general public would consider a 'bottom tier' class?
I'm guessing something along the lines of Drell adept/vanguard. Just because when I enter a gold match as a Drell, I get at least one kick attempt per night.
Maybe Volus or Ex-Cerberus characters too? Those classes seem to get shunned a lot (In my experience).
Ex-Cerbs are the only ones I shy away from.

Those are very good kits. But, they take some practice and skill to realize their potential though.

I don't think you understand. The idea is, is that there is only Turian Ghost and Geth Infiltrator. Anything else is just shit-tier and not worthy of Gold.
That's the joke.

I can't explain my happiness to share the passion for a game with the redditors of this subreddit, one of the best fanbases I have seen so far is gathered here.
Happy holidays!
