Blink should be a defensive ability, not an offensive one. Shotguns still have WAYYYYY too much range, and the fact that 50% of IB players are using the combo has ruined the entire experience for me. This is coming from a destiny veteran who has been around through it all. There seems to be even more blink and shotguns than ever before.
Then you throw in the AWFUL lag that still remains in IB, and these pussies who can't kill anyone unless they are blinking on cool down are getting way too many cheap kills.
Make blink come with SIGNIFICANT offensive tradeoffs. I don't think a full 1-1.5 second wait period before you can fire would be out of the question.
And for those of you who will whine and cry and troll and tell me I suck, I can promise you this. If you use blink and shotgun as your primary method of getting kills... you are awful at this game, and don't ever convince yourself that you're any good.
Edit: I find it hilarious that 90% of people saying shotguns suck are still using them as their primary method of killing someone. Must not suck too bad huh? The so called range "nerf" did next to nothing to shotguns. You're all just scared they might ACTUALLY nerf them and then you won't be able to play at all. Bunch'o'scrubs.
Edit 2: Apparently people who use shotguns can't read either. My complaint was specifically with the blink plus shotgun combo. I don't care if you want to run around with your conspiracy theory D or invective. I think very few people who do are any good at the game, but hey that's your problem not mine. My issue is with the combination of shotguns and blink still being cheap and a dick move.
P.S. you're all still terrible

Oh please stop talking

Shtogun? Is that a new exotic? Does it grant Blink as its main perk?

Seems there are 2 type of destiny posters >wahhhhh nerf snipers >wahhhhh nerf shotguns

Shotguns are way more prevalent than the forums make them out to be. I don't mind it too much, though, because plenty are using snipers now too. Hopefully bungie will take a good hard look at the party crasher/conspiracy theory archetype and nerf fusion rifles again.

Shut up bitch boy

Bungie is ruining the pvp experience

Lol there is no way that 50% of players are using Bladedancer or Voidwalker. Good one though.

As others have said, blink shot gunning is not an issue at the moment. Have not seen a single person using it.

You forgot the Satire tag. -blam!-ing amateurs.

5 RepliesDid you just say that shotguns have too much range... They don't 1 shot outside of titan melee range now.

If you see the blink just slide under them that what I do at it works

I was waiting for the #satire line that this post was made on Internet Explorer last year. Very disappointed this wasn't an IE joke

I haven't seen this in a while

11 RepliesShotgun range is good right now, a miss allows an opponent to close the distance and get into melee range.

But like, have you tried blink shotgunning? It's hard as hell to do against half decent players and get any more then a trade.

You're joking right?

7 RepliesAyyy lmao, shotguns are fine dude. If anything, snipers need less aim assist and fusion rifles just need to be slightly better.

3 RepliesBlink needs to be removed entirely

1 ReplyI still feel other up close weapons should be buffed, sidearms, fusion rifles in one manner or another to keep the game competitive and increase diversity.
