Why the hell does Felwinter's Lie exist?

Seriously. Even [i]after[/i] the patch, it's still breaking Rumble in half. Yeah, I'm crying about it. Give me one reason that makes this gun fair. One. [i]Just one.[/i] "You have to get close." isn't applicable, because you don't. [b]Edit: [/b]I have it. But I'm not using it because I believe in Bungie's concept of "there should never be a 'this is the only way to win' choice". At least I'm [i]trying[/i] to, anyways... [b]Edit 2:[/b] "PvE Only" players, shut up. You literally don't know what you're talking about. [b]Edit 3:[/b] I'm starting to unravel the mystery now. It all makes sense. The gun's name, its range, and why it snipes people. I don't know who this Felwinter fellow is, but I know what he [i]lied[/i] about. He lied his ass off when he told Lord Saladin that this weapon was a shotgun. Felwinter's Lie is a sniper rifle. Easily. [b]Edit 4:[/b] Yeah, I [i]am[/i] crying. For the first time since being on this forum, I'll openly and proudly admit to legit throwing a temper tantrum over a gun. That's all this thread is. So. I hope you have your bounties. Because my tears are overflowing at this point. ='[

  • You know why shotguns are OP? Because people do not check their radar. Even with blink, slide whatever - if you keep an eye on the radar you will be killed by shotguns a whole lot less. This isn't advocating defensive play in the sense that if you see someone on radar you should immediately seek distance. But if someone is close by, and your first instinct is to run at them then don't be surprised if you get shot gunned. Equally, if you see someone on the radar that's at a distance and the radar becomes a stronger red colour pretty quickly, expect to get rushed at. In short, look at your -blam!-ing radar and develop some awareness of your surroundings, just because they had a shot gun does not exclude the fact that you failed to take adequate steps to counter it. It's not that hard.

    • The rate of fire is atrocious. Miss that first shot and any decent player will end you before you get a second

        • It's a manual entry of weapon perks that overrode a previous patch. It has range finder and another range boosting perk. Those 2 perks were supposed to be mutually exclusive. When I first saw the weapon I knew it'd cause trouble in crucible. The range finder perk by itself effectively defeats the recent shotgun nerf in pvp. It'd be like a non exotic version of universal remote.

        • I have a full auto Felwinter's Lie, so it has about the same fire rate as the Swordbreaker. It's laughable how ridiculous the gun is in Crucible. It's the first shotgun I've really used in PVP.

          Rate of fire is so slow. If you miss the first shot without a strong melee to follow up you're dead.

            • Whenever I see someone running around with Felwinter's Lie, I just pull out my Plan C and wreck them before they can get close enough. Really it's the only counter. Even after the patch that thing has a ridiculous one shot kill range, especially with Rangefinder.

                  • I just pull mine out and backpedal, considering you're moving away from their bullets and they're moving towards yours it's an easy kill, I have QuickDraw on just to use it as a defensive gun

                  • The truth. People who say that it isn't op and that the rate of fire make it a skillful weapon are wrong. The auto aim on this game is ridiculous.

                  • I don't get these posts.. Everyone had a chance to get it doing IB, it was pretty easy. Why complain about every weapon?? Maybe its OP, who cares? Use it or a different shotgun. Its not like the thing shoots as quick as the Vex

                        For one, it has the lowest rate of fire for shotguns. Unless you're within melee range, you might as well kiss your sorry ass goodbye if you don't do enough damage to allow for cleaning up the mess after the first shot. Furthermore, the reload speed on this thing is horrendous. While there is Flared Magwell available (if you happened to get it in a reroll), most of the time the go-to stat boost is Hammer Forged. This is coming from someone who mostly plays PvE and has an acceptable K/D in PvP.
