Have you ever tried blinking in crucible? There is a significant speed decrease and distance decrease since the patch. But you're right about the shotguns.

Sissy.

Blink does have a cool down... You get two and then it's on about a five second cool down before you can use one again. Not defending it, just don't like people being misinformed about something.

It wasn't even a huge problem before the patch it isn't even a slight problem anymore stop being a whiny bitch

Oh hush up. Blink wasn't hard to counter before it's much easier now.

It changed be game so much what are you talking about???

[quote]Blinks nerf was not enough and blink shotgun is still a cancer to crucible. I've noticed a slight change to shot package on shotguns but that change is irrelevant when you pair it up with blink. People are still teleporting to my face to red screen gun me and if for some miraculous reason I survive the shotgun hit, I will just get finished with a long range melee as both classes have snipers for hands. Blink still has no cool down so it's more forgiving to players who fail the first blink. Also the speed of blink is still way to fast, I didn't even notice the speed change until people start telling me there was one. For all you blinking shotgunners who are not using them after reading the patch notes, you're wasting your time, blink and shotgun are good as they've always been. And for the people who are satisfied with this nerf, or feel blink is fine, please go into a rumble match with no blink, no shotgun and tell me everything is balanced. If you are a player who is defending blink because they use it, that's fine it's natural to defend something you love, soon I will join the blink army if nothing changes. You can't defend something that's really strong just because it's not as strong as it used to be. I understand blink is not as good as it once was but you can't excuse something which is still to good just because of some slight adjustments. I use blink, I use it with the lowest agility on my warlock and I still feel like sonic with a shotgun. I've blinked in people's faces and shotgunned them before any reaction so stop with that bullshit about weapon ready time. I shouldn't be able to one shot someone after a movement so quick. So stop defending it just because you use it, I use blink and after using the Titan in PvP, I have never felt at such a disadvantage when trying to shotgun a blinking shotgunner. I don't want to be forced to use blink to counter other blinkers. Face the facts changes are need to be made to weaken its offensive advantage. I will use the -blam!- out of blink shotgun until it takes a long vacation from PvP. So if anyone has tips on blinking leave them below. Unless your reply is a sensible opinion, you will be ignored. To everyone else, don't worry I'm joining in.[/quote]

Just wait until people get ahold of the exotic that reduces the cool down of Blink....

Stop crying

Its much better now than it was before. Fusions are at least a counter again before the shotgunner gets into shotgun range. Running towards a blinker helps a lot as well.

The nerf to shot package and blink were both significant. Blinking is slower now and shotguns fail to kill noticeably more often. I've gotten killed out Blink so many times in the last few days. Play some more Crucible, you'll see the difference.

I don't get the rage with blink shotgunners I usually play with sniper / scout rifle and they cant event get close to me to blink cause they are dead

Titans are getting a exotic that allows a aerial dodge which will probably be OP once combined with a shotgun.

I don't use blink, I suck at it. So I find it kind of impressive when I get murdered with it.

Almost all blinks will result in you having to wait until you hit the ground to shoot, aim down sights, or throw your grenade. The amount of time between each blink is slightly more, but i believe that they left the "two blink cooldown" (which is already long) as it is. Although from what I've seen playing today, the right shotgun can still be a one shot sniper. I'm not complaining though, Crucible is more balanced than I've ever seen it.

It's a lunge teleport. They'll get in ur face. It happens. It's far less than it was. You actually have time to kill them and plus, shotguns were indeed nerfed they can't always kill u like they did back then. Improvement is smaller than many hoped but it's definitely there.

It shouldn't be allowed in the crucible at all
