Crutch gear and weapons

Why do we under power things like snipers, 140 and 110 hand cannons, scouts, etc... but allow fusions (aka jotün and erintel), shotguns, one eye mask, etc... to resonate for so long in the sandbox among lower tier players that it's all you see them using. I'm a higher tier player and want to be able to go one game where the less skilled player cant just automatically compete with me bc he chooses to crutch a one eye mask fusion set up. This kind of toxic 'use this and you're immediately better at the game' style of weapons and gear has been a problem since d1. And needs to be addressed.

    • By that logic, pinnacle weapons should be removed. Let's face it, using LH/NF and Recluse automatically makes you better at the game. No.

        Anyone with a brain who plays PvP knows there will always be meta Weapons. In every PvP scenario in every game. People said the same things about MIDA Uriels, same thing about Graviton Lance, same thing about D1 snipers, it never stops. There’s always going to be a meta, there will always be people who think people who use meta are scrubs with no thumbs, etc. You don’t want to use meta, go ahead. I’m partial to Hush with Oathkeepers and TLW (on console mind you) But there’s always going to be weapons with low skill floors. Been that way since 007 on the N64.

        I got a lot of kills with Jotunn today. The tracking really helps. ... I usually don’t get many kills because I’m not a good PvP player. I bet you get lots of kills because you’re good. ... That’s cool.

            • 3400 glory doesn’t make you a “high tier” player. You’re slightly above average at best

              • You are not kidding I can’t tell you how many payers I have ran up against that simply use jotun because it’s a one hit kill weapon. I prefer to play against others that want to compete with primaries something that does not kill you in one shot...

                  • Do you actually message random people from QP and ask them to 1v1 you without using a Jotunn?

                    • Well any an all points you may have are now invalid. Destiny shotguns (more specifically buckshot) are horrendous, not even mentioning the fact that Jötunn is completely rendered terrible by moving 3 steps to the left or right. You have summoned me.

Go back to Comp and criclejerk it with the "high teir" players. Quickplay isn't for you, it's a playground where people can have fun with stuff that doesn't work in Comp. Quit crying about Quickplay like it fking matters KID.

                          • I’m a scrub and using meta weapons allows me to at least compete against players of your skill level. I’m still gonna suck just not as bad. Maybe look at it from the other end of the spectrum.

                            • Complaining that lower skilled players are "toxic" because you can't run over them every match.... got that a bit backwards on who the toxic one is buddy

                                • If a specific set up is the bane of your existence I don’t think you can be a self proclaimed “higher tier player”. It’s called adapting. You should try it.
