Lol in any game that has competitive play being able to see what someone is wearing is very helpful. It doesnt mean you are bad it means you are thinking tactically and probably generally do well in comparison to those who dont look. Beinf able to tell if sum1 can do special things like shadestep without havung the skill active is very helpful as it allows you to figure out what they are using to give you a tactical advantage. Take a look at games where itemization is essential like MOBA's. You dont build the same items each time you build to counteract your opponent. Same applies for destiny it just affects your playstyle instead of items.

I didn't say it meant you were bad. I just said what somebody else uses shouldn't really affect your play style. Especially when people often change gear in the middle of matches. Unless you're in trials, which admittedly is the only place I can see transmog being disabled since the better skilled and equipped team is the one that wins...or lag if you're into that kind of thing. But even then it's a stretch because most teams I've come against wear one thing flying in and by time the match starts they're using other stuff. So personally, I think it's better to change playstyle based on game type and map, rather than the player. Players change but the map...the map stays the same...sometimes...because they did move some of the control points around on some maps. But I digress, I agree with your point of view on the thinking tactically bit because I look at the other teams gear, but it's so I know what to expect. Although I don't fully agree with your opinion on transmog in PvP, I still respect it because it does raise some valid points for small teams Pvp like trials but in the 6v6 playlist I don't think it'd be a problem
