I don't feel like I'm exaggerating with the title, though other supers may have had their low moments, Shadowshot is truly atrocious in PvP particularly, and not nearly as useful anymore in PvE before Orpheus Rigs got nerfed.
I have at least 2 dozens vids of times where I died before my Tether even finished activating. And yes, I've tried to be smart and tactical on when I use it, but there are so many times where regardless I sneak up, dodge out of cover to shoot it, or anything like that, 3 out of 4 times I use tether, I die. It's insane!
So in a crucible match, you see a Striker Titan stampeding towards you and your teammates? Or a Stormtrancer soaring your way? [i]Hmm...Glad I have my tether[/i] you say!! [i]Hell yeah, activate Shadowshot, I'll shut that super right down![/i] [b]NOT!!![/b] They kill you and two of your teammates before it activates. And sometimes, the Titan can destroy the Tether, and then the Striker will come back around and kill you again and your teammates right as you spawn. This exact scenario has happened to me at least 5 times. I've died twice to the same Titan's super at least 30 times, and I've seen Titans get 7-8 kills per super dozens of times, [b]and Tether can't even kill one person one time in one shot[/b].
Just think about that.
All I want is Bungie to acknowledge they realize the issues with Tether. They've already mentioned damage resistance reduction that will surely be coming for Striker Titan particularly, but Shadowshot needs a major buff in damage resistance. You shouldn't be able to be killed by an auto rifle before your Tether even activates. That's absurdity.
Just acknowledge the issue, Bungie. Let me know it's being worked on. Thanks.
