Now I'll start off by saying sorry, I don't have any recording stuff so I can't provide gameplay, but I just wanted to reinforce the fact that Titans are the master race. For crucible anyway...
So while I was browsing the forums I came across the Blink getting nerfed post and noticed someone say "if blink is getting nerfed shoulder charge should be too" to which I was absolutely horrified by because shoulder charge is so damn amazing! People undervalue it so much it's disgusting, but I think that can be attributed to them not knowing how to use it. So I'm going to go ahead and provide some knowledge.
Most people that try to use it on me just charge head on and have to rely on me having bad aim, which is bad because you don't know how good others are or if they're running a fusion or shotty. So if you want to SC effectively pay attention to the radar and SHOULDER CHARGE AROUND CORNERS! If you time it right, and it's really easy to, it is soooo easy to hit a player by charging around a corner! I can get 5 of those kills a game not even trying, then your weapon will be ready and you could put a shotgun blast into your next target. Trust me it'll improve your game.
Now the real magic happens when you use the Peregrine Greaves, which is hilariously underrated considering it is the best PvP exotic. You know that part where is says "increase shoulder charge damage is air" yeah increase is an understatement... it -blam!-ing jumps that damage to 600. You know what you do with that damage? You OHK everything. Radiant Skin overshield Ram Warlock? No problem. Blade Dancer? Meh, shoulder charge. Mid Nova Bomb space monkey? Get back to the zoo. Cozy unsuspecting Titan in his armored bubble? Eat my knee. Panicky Hulk smash around a corner? Take a knee (as long as they don't have unstoppable, or at least I haven't tested that one). -blam!-ing flying judo knees for everyone. Like seriously it's so easy and OP it rediculous. A little bit of corner timing practice and decent execution and voila you are the master of crucible. Not to mention if you combine this with AEGabriels moving tactic it's unstoppable.
All hail the Titan master race!
It's weird too, my Titan is only 3 weeks old and I could figure this out. I have no idea why this isn't meta or haven't seen any posts about it. Oh well, maybe now that you're educated you'll give it a go and realize the godliness.
Keep your eyes up guardians!
Edit: I'd like to say that I'm not asking you to run around the map only using shoulder charge, just to add a bit of it into your normal play, a corner charge here and there and the Peregrine's to stop any supers you come across. Except for Golden Guns, those turds...
If I can get anyone to try it I'd be happy. I mean why not mix it up in a game that most say has gotten stale for them?
Edit 2: Also a quick bubble tip if you run WoL, use a high impact sniper and every bullet will be a one hit kill, like unlimited final rounds! Sometimes I can even get enough kills to almost fuel another super.
Edit 3: Oh hey there SmoggyPluto!

Peregrine greaves are OP
-
I've only used my Titan in pvp for the last 2 IB's. Both times with the PG's and I already have a better kd on home than my hunter main and my lock.
-
My favourite thing of peregrine greaves are the little hologram spike on the legs
-
Its hardly used because it aint that great. It only works against unsuspecting players (the kind that constantly run around like a headless chicken, hoping to shotgun everything in their path), there are enough of these players in regular crucible. But if you face skilled players, you will never get to pull it off. Those players know to watch the radar and dont run aimlessly around a corner. Hence why shouldercharge is not op at all
-
Shoulder Charge is terrible and The Ram is a far better Exotic.
-
Every time I try to use Shoulder Charge as a primary attack and not just a lucky kill when I'm sprinting, I end up getting a full shotgun blast in the face. Or they blink out of the way and then shotgun me. Or I hit someone else who is shoulder charging and we both kill each other and go flying into the wall at the speed of light.
-
I use it for movement I almost never go for kills with it.
-
I can't believe I just read all that
-
I'll see your Peregrine's and raise with my MK44 Standasides. Run them babies on Anomaly and you could almost not fire a shot and finish positive.

Too bad shoulder charge kinda -blam!-in sucks.
-
You'll get tired of people popping you in the face with a shotgun. Use the Titan for several months and we can talk about your experience with the class.

That's a lot to read at 5 in the morning. From the skim it looks like you support Titans and I support that. Shoulder on man!
