Forget making it good, make Shadowshot work

Shadow shot sucks in PvP. Yes nightstalker has good neutral game, but the super sucks. You know it, Bungie knows it, and screw them for still letting it be this shitty how many years later. 1. Shooting an enemy in the face, doesn't knock them oput of super. Its worse than the Titan grenade. 2. Tether doesn't tether. I can shoot it right next to someone, and its so -blam!-ing slow, I might as well not shoot it. 3. It makes you jump, and pulls you into a locked animation, with no damage reduction. Its like a big sign that says " Shoot Me :) " 4. It has to be amied perfectly, and it shoots to the right. Its constantly sticking to things I wasn't aiming at. 5. It doesn't always kill on impact. I shot you in the face with my -blam!-ing super... why am I dead? WORST SUPER EVER and I've played Nightstalker since it came out in D1

  • Yes. All the other supers have their animation, and then they activate. If my animation is to jump in the air, once that thing lands it should instantly activate. I like the invis, which is the main reason I run it, but I can't tell you how many times I've gotten killed by a super coming my way because tether didn't activate quick enough.

  • It's was about a year ago Bungie had a few twabs where they announced buffs and reworks for this super. They gave us a few tiny buffs over the course of a month and then said they had several more exciting things in store for this super. We still have not gotten any of them. Lol.

    I've never understood the complaint about the delay on tether. It's supposed to be used preemptively. If it worked instantly, it would punish the other player too hard for being aggressive.

    • The super is actually god tier if you use it right, but if you suck at using it, it’s trash. There’s nothing I can say to this except [spoiler]Git Gud[/spoiler]

        You're using it wrong. Tethers are for smartly setting up traps to foil an incoming rush BEFORE you're in their line of sight.

        • Coolguy gives some good tips on how to use it effectively. Apparently, most Nightstalkers still tend to use it like D1 but the way Tether works in D2, it's ineffective. And yes, the arrow shooting to the right is a major problem.

        • Way of the trapper main here and I fully agree with you! The actual tether of the enemy has a huge delay and the animation I can cope with but
