I honestly thought this was satire.
Shotguns. And blink jump. Is still. The worst thing ever.
At least sniping requires skill.
There is some sniping I have seen. But I feel it's almost due to the issue that if anyone gets within 20 feet of you you are absolutely screwed.

Skill? Hah I picked up a sniper rifle yesterday for the first time in well over a year and went positive in every game. Zero skill required. At least with a shotgun you actually have to get close to your enemy.
-
People still believe shotguns are OP like year 1, there is so much risk to running a shotty now more then ever. Sometimes you will not do as much damage as you'd hope even if you feel you are well within range.

I've been right in front of someone with a Party Crasher and it does like nothing.

Edited by LoanLizard: 2/25/2016 6:31:01 PM"Zero skill required" no And then he goes on to imply that shotguns require skill... get this man out of here. edit: this comes from someone who only recently started using snipers
-
I never said shotguns required skill, but at least you need to be able to get somewhat near your enemy instead of just hiding on the opposite side of the map.
-
Maybe you're good at the game? Give yourself some credit. I primarily used a sniper as well and was mostly positive. I also quit the game for 3 months and HATE PVP in destiny. Just look at the statistics. It's plain and simple. Shotguns get more kills.
-
That logic is inherently flawed. More people use shotguns so shotguns will get more kills. Check the stats at [url]https://destinytrialsreport.com/[/url] before you make silly statements. Snipers are significantly more powerful than shotguns, if they weren't they wouldn't take a giant majority of the meta.

[quote]That logic is inherently flawed. More people use shotguns so shotguns will get more kills. [/quote] That's pretty much what I said. Thank you, future engineer. My full and total statement would be simply that I am killed more frequently by shotguns than snipers. I have not played a match (IB) where I was NOT killed by a blink jump/shotgun combo, let alone by simply more overall. I have also not played a match where I did NOT get sniped.
-
You are satire, blink shot gun? I've yet to see it. Snipers are in everygame.

[/quote]Well i went to check Guardian.GG to get facts but the iron banner stats are down at this moment, anyways last two IB shotguns doubled the amount of kills than sniper (17-18%) compared to 9%.. So based on the past times i have checked i going to go with shotguns probably still make up the majority kills like in normal clash normal clash stats: http://guardian.gg/en/weapon-stats?platform=2&start=2016-01-26&end=2016-02-24&mode=12&activity=0 http://guardian.gg/en/weapon-stats?platform=1&start=2016-01-26&end=2016-02-24&mode=12&activity=0 Here is the IB stats from beginning of Jan (only ones that are up for some reason but still gets the point across) http://guardian.gg/en/weapon-stats?platform=2&start=2016-01-01&end=2016-02-24&mode=19&activity=0 GG THO![/quote] From Z from lower in this post.

When did i tell you that shotguns didnt amount for a lot of kills? I said that "blink shotgun" which is what you had previously stated that was more common than someone using a sniper, was not as common. So in simple terms blink shotgun is much less common than someone equipping a sniper, not that sniper make up more kills.
-
Do you live near a beach? Our experiences apparently differ. And I must also really suck at covering myself at close distances.
-
Who knows, it could be an zone related matter. More ppl use snipers where i live, more use shotguns where you live. I can see that happening.
-
I think it's a domino effect. Once I get sniped so many times I think hell I will go snipe that guy. Then I fail and think ok well hell I will go and shotgun him! And success! For maybe that round. Then switch back to sniping. I just like sniping more I guess.
-
I also failed to mention ive mostly been playing Trials of Osiris so i may have been biased towards seen more snipers than shottys. There is definitely a satistaction in getting a good kill with the sniper as opposed to one kill with shotty, at least in my case.
-
Well I just played 2 hours of iron banner and I'll be seeing the phrase "1000 yard stare" in my dreams. I got sniped all night. Hallways. Holes. Ledges. Corridors. Cliffs. Ridges. Rooftops. They're everywhere.
-
Yeah its a little out of hand hahaha
-
I imagine shotgunning in trials is hard. I'd be interested to see a side by side comparison of weapon types sorted by regular crucible/IB/trials. I've only done a little bit of Trials and for the most part it seemed like distant engagements.
-
We must have very different connections.
