i think the best way to go about this is just giving it more agressive damage falloff, it shouldn't be dueling with me in bow/ sniper range
the trackings very annoying but that's an intentional perk. the explosion radius is also very annoying but again that's intentional
theres nothing listed about why it's range is so massive however. i think the charge time for the tracking shoot could be increased aswell
take away:
slight nerf to charge time, hard nerf to range
before anymore of you comment, i have thumbs and know how to move them but thanks for the very valuable imput.

Personally it’s easy to dodge when it’s just one person using it but when I go up against an entire team all letting loose with it, there’s nothing you can do. Also all these people saying the tracking is bad are spitting bs that -blam!- literally goes around corners. I agree with the range nerf cuz I’m tired of having 3 skillless players spamming me with fireballs lmao.

Edited by AdligerAdler: 9/26/2020 1:20:22 PMIt's annoying. When I see someone with it, I automatically think they're bad at PvP, wether that's true or not. But we all should be glad that's it's not purchasable with an exotic cipher. *looks at Bastion and its recent increase in PvP*

4 RepliesSome of you never learn. Never, and I mean never, ask Bungie for nerfs. They lack a def hand and finesse. They will destroy the item and many others will fall as collateral damage. Never say nerf around here man!

1 ReplyI may get killed by it once in a match, but the second I realise someone is using it, they'll generally never kill me with it again because it's so easy to avoid.

If Jötunn kills you at sniper range you deserve it lol

6 RepliesJotunn is only effective in very specific situations, and against low skill players. There is nothing wrong with it. Almost nobody uses it, and most people that do use it are the ones that rely in it's tracking. It's pretty easy to dodge majority of the time, especially when you're talking about sniper/bow range. If you're having issues combating it at that range, it just means that you don't know how to be mobile enough to avoid it. Rather than trying to nerf a weapon that isn't broken, why don't you just get better?
-
You could ask for other weapons to be buffed so it can compete. Stop asking for nerfs.

How many "MOVE" posts have to be made...
-
4 RepliesIt's not even a good weapon against good players. Increase your mobility. Sometimes it goes balls out and gets an outrageous kill, but usually it just breaks tracking or hits a box or a rock.
-
Imagine being so bad in crucible you have to whine about Jotunn killing you.
-
3 RepliesHunters don’t mind Jottun, because they can dodge every ten seconds. Try playing as a warlock and you will how limited our lateral movement is. I agree with a nerf, because it behaves more like a rocket launcher, instead of a fusion rifle.
-
It's a crappy weapon. I feel crappy using it and definitely crappy dying from it, but its fine. Just don't be ADSing when you hear the bell sound and strafe hard.

If you are dying to jotuun cross map that’s a you issue... it’s an absolutely terrible gun....

4 RepliesJust move it to heavy. Problem solved.

It is annoying, but if you get outta the way from that one shot, you'll believe you're a god.

You know it would affect pve as well. Was literally my energy weapon of choice in last weeks nightfall.

1 ReplyEdited by Corrick II: 9/25/2020 2:36:25 AMWhile I usually dismiss nerf posts out of hand, this might be the first Jotunn nerf post that made me pause. I’ve never seen a range nerf suggestion and it doesn’t bring my stomach up thinking about it. It makes sense too given fusion rifles are typically short range weapons. Maybe not a HUGE range nerf but a medium one might not be terrible... IF it happened of course. It’ll at least soften the rage of players getting killed from not paying attention. I’m still fine with it the way it is.

9 RepliesEdited by Demon_XXVII: 9/24/2020 11:30:41 PMGTFO! I use the Jötunn to counter onrushing sh*tgunners, folk in their supers, split up teams holding hands & to flank and decimate the hard scoping Snipers/Arbelast crews I’m not the best, but it’s brilliant to execute [i]Operation Grill’em[/i] 😆 🔥 Bring on the catalyst with Wolfpack rounds 🤪

Edited by Guardian, Archon Of Light: 9/25/2020 2:14:41 AMI think Jotunn is a fairly balanced exotic If you move at the right time it will miss you completely

No nerfs!😡

3 RepliesLmfao Jotuun is garbage my boy, just strafe and you should never die to it.

Learn to strafe.

Its annoying but not over powered. Its actually inconsistent at times. You are new to the game. They are ways to counter it and I never saw it in legend level comp.
