You realize there's a word that exists that wasn't made by nerfers to refer to powers and weapons? It's called an asset, or asset(s). That's the correct term. As in something that benefits you or, in Destiny logic, helps you win. Radar, grenades, weapons, not being dumb. That sort of thing. A crutch is now a statistical term (well... by forum obsessed people) that you rely on a certain few choice asset(s) otherwise you can't do anything. In fact, it's a description, not a real thing. You would have to prove it that an individual can 'only use these few items' to be a crutch. And 'being killed' by something doesn't prove anything. Also, defending something from nerfs somehow 'automatically' means I must use it as a crutch if I'm defending it. Which makes no sense... because half the time I don't even use the damn thing I'm defending... so you can accuse someone using crutch without the accused even using it? Which also makes no sense... A crutch also doesn't mean 'it kills fast' because all weapons kill fast. Some faster than others. But that's not what a crutch means. Because if you miss all your shots, all the time, it can't be a crutch because you must suck with it. Thus, not a crutch. Yet... still a crutch depending on what it is? See? People don't even know what it means. They just shout out that word and hope people listen to them. Honestly, what it really means, is that you can use a gun well whenever you use it. Which, I guess if that's a 'crutch' I would take it as a compliment. Or, more likely, it's just a asset they don't like fighting. In which case, they should just find another game.

Well in fairness there is the new absurdly OP artifact that grants 3rd eye on any primary PLUS a more detailed radar [spoiler]I will abuse it as long as they allow me to, no shame[/spoiler]

Snipers are a crutch. Shotguns are a crutch. Sunsingers were a crutch. Stormcallers are a crutch. Radar is a crutch. What's gonna be a crutch next, I wonder?

Lol the radar is one reason I like destiny. You can't -blam!-ing camp!!! Let me say that again in case you didn't read it YOU CANT -blam!-ING CAMP. You take radar away hey guess what you turn the corner someone is either A. Head glitching and only watching the one -blam!-ing direction B. There in the corner waiting to get you with that shotgun. C. The games will last much longer because now you go down a round or 2 because there playing like bitches and you then have to -blam!-ing play like bitches to get back in the game. I've been wrecking kids with the no radar super easy to flank etc. but no radar all the time hell no this game will be worse then cod if that happens. Maybe have a game mode like hard core search and destroy no radar you die that's it etc. anyone who disagrees well to be honest your trash and not a true pvp player.

Seriously?? Now people are complaining about using a mechanic that saves you....? Wow i didnt think it could get any worse

Destiny practically gives you X-ray vision, no other fps I've played even comes close.

Radar is prevalent in 90% of FPS, if not more. What are you whining about

It's funny because the radar in this game is garbage.

It is an aspect of the game that improves someone's performance in the game, so yes it very well is a crutch. I'm not staying "if you use it your bad" (and I swear to good if any of you journalist types quote me out of contexts), because my play style when there is no radar is very well different from when there is, and I find I get killed at corners and tight spaces a lot more often (which is reasonable when you don't got a wall hack for everyone who ain't crouching or invisible). Anything that has no negative aspect on the player gameplay wise is a crutch, there is no arguing that. [u]The real argument is if people who use something on a normal basis are worse after not having that thing they are used to using, are bad.[/u] Now let's all debate this in a calm colective manner giving our opinions and why we each [b][u]THINK[/u][/b] we are correct, giving proper evidence and logical explanations.

[quote]First, this information is rock solid. This is not a debate or question. Just stare at these facts and bask in the infinite glow that is my superior understanding of the universe. I only post this in hopes of enlightening the masses. It is written in the first person as a reminder of how awesome you are. [b]Facts: 1: Any way I kill you is the most glorious and honorable of kills requiring skill of an otherworldly nature. 2: Any way you kill me is a cheap cowardly way to play the game and your family should be ashamed. 3: All of my characters are of the highest class and quality. You should be honored to die by my wrath. 4: All of your characters are cheap, easy to kill with and should cause your family some form of horrible disappointment in your skills. 5: My guns are hard to use and require skills that escape the common man. 6: Your guns are self aiming bullet sprayers that a half dead turtle could use to go 30-0. 7: My play style is clearly MENSA like in its formulation and execution. 8: Your play style is obviously the result of playing while half asleep or perhaps over medicated on daytime cold pills. 9: My chosen skill path is designed to add challenge and honor to my play style. The best of the best. 10: Your chosen skill path is a crutch that only mildly holds up your pathetic play style. End of facts...

In case we all forgot how this works for Destiny players, the equation goes like this: Anything you kill me with is cheap. Anything I kill you with takes skill. If we are using the same gun and you kill me then mine was broken and you got lucky. When the situation is reversed the you as my opponent are a scrub and need to "git gud" Anything you use is a crutch and takes no skill. My usage of the radar is a pro player using all of their tools to take you out. You need to be handheld or else I would blitz you with power unending. Facts.
