What do you think about the 'vulnerable guardian' stage of gameplay?

[OhhGeeMee]

I love this game and the gameplay in general, but I think the stage where one team reaches 100 power and the enemy's guardian is vulnerable to attack is average in terms of fun factor. Not terrible. But not as good as the rest of the gameplay.

I think this is because it feels like there is limited micro strategy like there is in team fights eg focussing the correct enemy, monitoring cooldowns. And there is limited macro strategy too because the aim is to just pile in on the enemy's guardian and do damage and die in the process. It just feels a little braindead.

In a MOBA like Smite, the Titan (guardian) fights back, is mobile and has interactions with minion waves. In general, if you're attacking the Titan you'd want to deal with the enemy team first and then pile in on the Titan. But in Gigantic it seems the focus is to just ignore the enemy team and beat up the vulnerable guardian and I just find this mechanic a bit boring and non-strategic. Apart from the the vulnerable stage ending in case of team wipe, there doesn't seem to be that much negative consequence for the attacking team if they die.

There is negative consequences for the attacking team if they die. The guardian recovers faster and gets a health shield. That stage feels like crap probably because most players play like crap when doing it.

it adds so much tactic (clash mode). should your team dive and get the wound or do you need to play it save? can you make it out so you dont spend 10 power to the enemy team after guardian recovered? do you use the timegate to damage a (big) creature so you can get an power advantage after recovery instead of attacking the enemy guardian? there is surely some more stuff to mention.
