I never said they would be of no use.
I said i wanted to use other weapons .
Not be restricted.

You won't be restricted. You can't expect every weapon to just magically work. There are certain weapons for certain instances and some weapons in certain types that work while other weapons of the same category may not. Trust me, you're talking to a guy who doesn't run metas in Comp though it may make things easier. It gives me a sense of skill using my set rather than reverting to the "go-to" weapons. Build up a variety of weapons you enjoy using. Test them out. If it doesn't work fins a new viable weapon you may like. It happens most every year in Destiny. When they do we find something different and move along. It's that simple.

I dont use meta weapons either. I dont even use specials in PvP. And i am in the top 3% of KD.
-
nobody gives a flying F if you are top 3% in K/D. Ok you don't use specials in PvP, that means no shotguns,snipers,Grenade launchers, or fusion rifles. meta weapons are apparently what?
-
Yes. No shotguns. No nade. No sniper. No fusion.
-
ok good for you, so what do you run?
-
180 RPM Scout and ratking sidearm
-
rat king is a close range weapon, you should know how to knockback cancel then if you use that.
-
I know how to knockback cancel. But i still take 90% of my health as damage from 1 stomp.
-
then knockback cancel or better yet use your loadout accordingly, also its called being a team player when you switch your loadout to benefit you team, not doing so means that you're handicapping your entire team.
-
Knockback cancel doesnt negate damage. And i do 70-80 % of the primevals health every match so my loadouts are fine.
-
that 70-80% seems very hard to believe.
-
It is a fact though.
-
hmmm Idk, you would really only be able to do that much dmg is with pre patch BB with Tractor Cannon debuff or a well
-
Or with 1-2 punch.

Neither do I and usually 2 weapons are Y1. You've got a KD(did you play with teammates or solo a lot? A lot of my PvP has been solo except for blips in the past and more currently due to me getting a couple friends into the game. But I still like to think I do decently). And with that said this shouldn't hamper you in any way then if you don't run metas as this was a PvE meta. I love getting up close and personal in any activity. It's why I know the boss stomp counter so well especially running a sword and doing very well with it. This is past TWAB a meta shift of sorts and honestly boss stomp isn't an issue unless you don't know the counter, are charging in without thinking of all the variables, and aren't dealing with the minors in any way.
-
I always stay away from teammates in PVP.

I vary though I mainly go lone wolf.
