So today I helped a friend of mine go flawless. We got a few rough matches and I didn't do great on every match. On our flawless match however we (all around 1500 elo) came up against 2 streamers. (2.5 trials k/d's after 100+ games this week with 2200elos).
We manage to win the game 5-3, I went 12-3, both of my teammates ended up with 4 kills. So I decided to check out our opponents streams and say GG. The response I got was priceless. The wombo combo shadestep user and stormcaller with mapador decided to trashtalk. According to them I only won because I was using the crutch bubble and crutch no land beyond without flinch.
Which leaves me with the question, when did bubble and no land beyond become crutches?
For those who actually want to see the match:

[b]those saying I was using weapons of light, I wasn't, you can view my setup through the forum, I run armor of light. The damage notification bugged once (showed 127 on a headshot while it did kill) which seems to happen on nlb so now and then.[/b]

1 ReplyI have not used NLB since it was first introduced back in Crota's End Is it worth pulling back out again?

2 RepliesNever check out the chat of a streamer after a match. Once went against a large streamer that had 2500 viewers and we lost by 1 kill (A nova bomb) as the final blow to us. We went in to say "gg" and his chat was so mean to us. We took them the distance to 1 kill and we're n00bs? Sorry to almost make your God look mortal playing against plebs like us.

2 RepliesEdited by MakerOfWind: 1/2/2017 6:42:16 PMAfter 3years I actually feel like I'm getting the hang of the crucible (as of 4 days ago). I found a combo that works for me and my play style. I actually used it on my alt characters first. Anyways, I watched a few ppl streams to get a ruff idea (I don't like to bite). So, I'm split in your comments. 1. The streaming ppl like to complain alot and I think we all know this. It's nothing new. 2. The game is not ruined (aliens: colonial marines) because if it was absolutely no one would be playing it. 3. You didn't cheat or lag switch or whatever BS ppl say. You won fair and square. 4. NLB is a funky weapon and not everyone can play with it. Ppl that have skill have master it and it appears op. Over all, good game. Never went flawless because I can't seem to roll with the right crew. Thanks for the post because I can use the tips. Peace!

It was probably because you just camped with skorris

No land beyond is sooo much easy to use
-
Streamers have to be careful their viewers don't start to wonder why they are watching someone else playing a video game they could be playing themselves.

Edited by Cosmic Zaa: 1/2/2017 6:45:01 PMIve always seen No Skill Beyond as a crutch. It's easier to use than other snipers imo and you never need ammo

I got told my nightstalker was a crutch by three storms with matadors

1 ReplyI couldn't watch it. Their names were too try hard for me.

8 RepliesEdited by Gracklepod: 1/2/2017 2:44:17 PMI don't play trials..I suck at pvp but I gotta ask...why would any weapon, gear or ability supplied by the game be considered a crutch? You use what you can to get the best match possible. Don't pay attention to the whining cry babies...send them a fresh diaper instead.

idk man. no land is the opposite of a crutch. it takes skill. As for defender, i don't personally believe it's a crutch, but i can see where they're coming from with that argument

4 RepliesEverything is a crutch. We could be throwing rocks, and hitting eachother with foam noodles, and someone would call them crutches

8 RepliesWow, great game and come back. Ignore them, you could've been using anything and they would have found fault in it. [spoiler]What controller sensitivity do you use if you don't mind me asking?[/spoiler]

1 ReplyBubble is really good. Like [b][i][u]really[/u][/i][/b] good. Despite this you won fair and square, good job.
-
Nice.

Whenever you beat a tryhard, literally everything you use is a crutch. That's why I avoid Crucible like the plague as much as possible.

1 ReplyEdited by TeddyBundy: 1/2/2017 6:16:27 PMI love Defenders (it's the least crutch class by far)...but I hate headglitching snipers and especially NLB. So I don't really know if I should love or hate you. But there's obe thing I know: Those streamers were nothing but salty crutchusing (Eyasluna with LitC, Stormcaller Melee, Shadestep, WomboCombo, etc.) bitches and you deserved that win. :)

Edited by Lebkazoo: 1/2/2017 6:05:45 PMThe only reason they say NLB is a crutch is because it didn't get hit by the flinch attack of 2016. Either way it's really not... Bubble though... Why? You have to literally have less than half a brain left to call it a crutch in pvp...

5 RepliesNLB is the easiest sniper in the game with near infinite ammo, it sort of is a crutch..

Crutch :v

Nlb yes. Bubble, no.

6 RepliesThumbs are a crutch. Use scrotum

2 RepliesBubble is only a crutch if you're running six defenders on rift and you just always have a bubble on rift, like seriously how do you have fun playing like that, but I guess you need that sweet succulent kd

2 RepliesI learned like 4 headglitches watching that video. I get why they were upset. But headglitching isnt against the rules. Nice game man.
