Vanguards are a pet peeve for me as well. As I usually play support. If they are in the area I can account for them to use their abilities. But when I'm alone and have a perfect one shot smiling kill and a vanguard comes out of no where and biotic rushes, then nova spam a target that would of been dead gets a little old. And these are the players than usually run around the map far from everyone during missions including getting back to the drop zone, if they do even relize there a few seconds left to run back they tend to die trying to causing a partial extraction. During coop missions such as drone, upload, they also Arnt able to help as their main attack would remove them from the sphere. Also on higher difficulties they tend to become more of a liability than an asset. Trying to get the previous missions done as soon as possible is slower to accomplish with one person missing. Longer it takes the less of a bonus score, the more enemies pop up that tend to go after the group than the one that's soloing. Overall I like a good vanguard player, but in multiplayer, when working together, more often than not the vanguard causes more frustration than actual help.
