To put this forward I hate blink. It is the best PvP movement tool in the game. You can instantly traverse from one point to another with only momentary exposure to enemy fire. This presents a problem in that this allows players to win engagements in ways that they had ABSOLUTELY no right to.
Ex. I as a Sunbreaker walk around a corner to find a Voidwalker attempting to snipe a straight away. I back off and chuck an incendiary grenade into that hallway and get hitmarkers. He is hurting and about to be dead, but instead of getting an easy kill I hear a distinctive whoosh of Blink. Before I can even aim upward to try to melee him I get a Universal Remote to the chops followed up by a lifesteal melee. I got outplayed. Its simple as that, but that play was made possible only by blink.
The point of jetpack/thrust/jump is to move from one point to another as effectively as its user can manage. And all of these achieve that well. The movement of these carries you from point A to point B while traveling along line C. While on point A, B and line C you can be intercepted by incoming aggressive fire.
Ex. Struck by a grenade. Shot. Getting hit with a super ect.
Blink bypasses this entire formula. Points of intersection are only momentarily at point A and B. This proves to be a problem in the exceptionally CQC focused maps. By bypassing the movement formula Blink essentially makes players guess as to the user's trajectory and intent. These added variables are entirely manageable were it not for that mariad of ways which you can be dispatched from CQ and no warning.
I was recently stuck by a Bladedancer's grenade. Unfortunately my only path was to take him with me. I meleed him. Leaving him weak enough to be killed by his own grenade stuck to my shoulder. But that didn't happen due to instant movement out of the blast radius.
Things like this happen nearly every match in the crucible. Thankfully the blinkers arent granted invulnerability frames during its casting animations. A small blessing I guess.
You see what I'm getting at here. It is a league above anything else. It ruins tactical engagements, blows through CQC choke points, and it crushes many opportunities to punish stupid actions on the Blinkers part. Im not salty. Im not butthurt. Im just noting the massive gap between blink and the other transportation methods. If it were up to me I would entirely remove the choice to blink at all. I am fine with everything else the classes can do. Just not this.

Honestley catapult should be replaced for blink no one ises that worthless movment

1 RespuestaAs a fellow titan I understand what you mean, but I don't see a problem with blink
-
1 RespuestaShut your filthy hammer spewing mouth. The one reason im ok with hamner time is because titans can't move like hunters and 'locks. You nerf blink, and i better see HoS nerfed into the ground.

You really need to git guud

2 RespuestasA Sunbreaker is complaining about Blink? Wtf!? What blatant hypocrisy. You use the most OP class in the game. Maybe you should consider using a noncasual subclass.
-
3 RespuestasA Titan's armor is supposed to make up for not having blink. But unless one has max armor and an active super the armor stat doesn't do much in pvp. Personally, I prefer the way a Titan moves and wouldn't want to swap it out for blink.

2 RespuestasDude I see someone using blink every once in a blue moon. So unless your playing Classic gametypes which are really for people who don't have TTK your not gonna see blink to often. And yes I main a Hunter but the HOS nerf in my opinion is not needed at all. All the classes are good in there own way. (Nighstalker)-Shadow-shot is deadly at long to medium range. Use a medium impact scout rifle (Boolean Gemini) or a short ranged hand canon. Snipers and sidearms will be in the hunters favor. And for the sake of the argument... Yes blink is EXTREMELY affective with a decent shotgun. (Sunbreaker)- good at short to medium range extremely powerful super and fusion grenades but other stats are really just weak. Pulse rifles and shotguns work in Titans favor. (Stormcaller)- Warlocks have always been for MASS magical destruction. heh notice what i did there "mass" warlocks supers are all really good on "massive" groups. Stormcaller has the normal ridiculously long ranged melee but extended even further doing more damage. It also has "ok" grenades, the super once again is really only effective on big groups killing whole 6 member teams within 3 seconds! Auto rifles and fusion rifles work in a Warlocks favor. This is just my opinion on all three classes.

This is the perfect example as to why blink shouldn't be in the game https://youtu.be/BLUkgRAy_Vo

4 RespuestasThe best part is when he acknowledges the fact that he is a SunBreaker Titan, and then continues to bitch about the other classes. Just saying ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) r´、 ,`-、、 | ,二二二ヨEl | /./ /\\\ !、_./_/ \つつ

1 RespuestaWho uses Blink anyway? I haven't seen blink in a long time

Editado por Chadorable: 10/4/2015 4:58:19 AMThis specific post makes me wanna switch to a voidwalker/universal remote/snipe build just so that there is more majestic salt slowing freely through the threads. [spoiler]but alas, I'm addicted to calling storms and using ionic blink to collect salt.[/spoiler]

It's not the best. It's not accurate and it's dumb.
-
Can't wait for that new warlock helm that reduces blink cooldown and makes it blink farther.
-
Editado por Reap200: 10/3/2015 12:13:25 AMthe thing is, blink is only good in crucible. i would always rather have a double/triple jump or a glide in PVE just because you can move around the terrain a lot more easily

People still use blink?

5 RespuestasLet me pull one from the book of Titans. "Oh look a Titan main" -_-

You just suck. Choke on your FÚCKING grenades.

2 RespuestasNerfing Bladedancers is fine because a Titan said so but when anyone else that is not a Titan and says something about sunbreaker, they lose their shit.
-
5 RespuestasYou mean the real problem is that Titans don't have it. Right?
-
31 RespuestasYou're a Sunbreaker, currently the most broken PvP class in the game, and you're bitching about an ability that was just nerfed to shit. God you Titans are full of yourselves.
