Blink was nerfed significantly with the 2.0 patch. The person is a sitting duck after they activate it & now it actually leaves a trail to show you exactly where they went. This is no longer a difficult move to fight against which is why you don't see it often in crucible anymore. Blink shotgun is dead. The time required to use your weapons effectively after using blink is long enough that you can & (in my experience with & against it) will lose gunfights because of that.

I'd like to point out that where said person blinked was never the problem. because it was either above you or away from you with their back turned that much was obvious
-
He said it's difficult to fight against because it's difficult to keep up with. It isn't very difficult to keep up with if it telegraphs your moves & makes you useless after you make them.
-
Especially with the case of on hit melee lifesteal, but I don't mind the on hit part as much as the ensuing shotgun to the mouth
-
Very true, the new stormcaller ionic blink is devastating & warlocks have an exotic to improve their blink to better than before.
-
It is easier now but it makes it hard to react with the capped turn speed. I play 10 but sometimes even that is not quick enough.
-
Wow I can't go higher than 4 or I wouldn't be able to land snipes
-
Yeah sometimes the ads assist messes with me too much so I play high to avoid it. On battlefield I usually run about 88 to 90 percent. Dear god the prone kills were real
-
Lol I bet.

I had it kill me once. I proned out and accidentally shot a red barrel. That was an embarrassingly lonh respawn. But good luck to you guardian. My you find all of the loots and good stuffs.

people can still blink shotgun. people can still escape situations they would otherwise die in with absolute ease.
-
They still try it because it's the way they are used to playing but the fact is that it's much less effective than it was before & someone trying can take advantage as long as they have decent reflexes
