I think Bungie has a pretty genius idea with the Revoker but I'm cautious to assume it'll actually work. My clanmates have suggested that the new requirements may mean Bungie is phasing out comp. I don't know if it's about that at all, actually. Here's what I see:
1. Revoker is not a gun that kills any faster or more consistently as most pinnacles do. No bonus damage, no increased fire rate, nothing like that.
2. The Revoker is probably going to be an amazing sniper when it comes to handling. Snapshot, ambush sights, these make it a very high quality sniper that is likely to have great aim assist.
3. The Revoker is a sniper rifle that is forgiving. Whiffing a shot isn't the end of the world. You can reallign and try again. Another case is that you were flicked off of target. The Revoker, in this case, actively incentivizes disengaging the target and repositioning. [b]This is a skill all competent sniper players have in their toolkit.[/b] Flinch balances the incredible power potential of snipers. The best response to flinch is not to fight it, but to find a new angle and get the jump on your opponents.
4. The Revoker is going to be the most forgiving pinnacle weapon to obtain. It will also require the most practice to use.
These things combined classify Revoker as a very special kind of pinnacle weapon. [b]It is a weapon that teaches Guardians how to better play PvP.[/b] The Revoker will be a strong weapon. When a player has difficulty reaching fabled, they will be rewarded Revoker for their efforts. If they are driven to continue improving, using the Revoker to learn good sniping habits and gunskill will be an effective path to becoming a better player. Improving as a player will make comp more enjoyable.
However, the destiny community is not often willing to put in the time to learn the game. Often, a gun must be very strong and very easy to use to be worth the chase. Recluse, and Lunas to a lesser extent now it's being adjusted, are more typical pinnacle weapons in that context. The Revoker will not be very easy to use, but anyone can obtain it. Without any competitive win streaks, it will take about 60 wins to earn the Revoker.
It will likely take a monumental shift in community mindset to fully embrace what this gun is bringing to the table. It's going to take guardians looking inward to see where they need to improve instead of getting frustrated at their opponents. I ask all guardians chasing Recluse next season take a careful look at the Revoker when they obtain it, and consider the long-term effects of focused practice in the crucible on their success in competitive. Let's make the best of this!

21 Replieswell i don't know what you guys believe what exactly you call with that but a practice gun that forgives missing shots isn't the way you get better you rely on it not more. It's a worthless gun for a Player which actually Hits his/her shots it's completly useless. This so called Skill you want to archiev will you guys never get not by believing this crap again and again. You get better if you want it i earned so much experience by gettin not forgotten more than ever i wanted it so i did it. The reward was meanigful and powerfull enough to do something for it. I bet my NF and 10000 silver most of you guys never tried ( if i would check every body writing in here 90% of them are not above 1000-2000 glory) in 1 or 2 Weeks you guys scream about Service Revolver and erentil or jotunn and recluse, prime whatever.. and the circles continues.. Aren't you guys bored? Talking about things you don't archiev anyway? It's not even funny anymore.. Seriously.. (sarcasm) Hell Yeah i am so afraid of the New sniper pro Player coming out of nowhere.. Lets face it most of you guys are not good with Luna or Nf or any other pinnacle gun and at the end of the Day most of you quit by the same reason not facing the real problem or sitting in the spawn for 90% of the Match duration. I am a rusher. Run kill run kill next. I droped my Kd twice on purpose.. I like fast games and i prefer Luna Players 10000 Times more than pulserifle spawncamper and at the end that's what comes. You guys always arguing this crap only make your own Game less enjoyable by giving yourself a greater Handicap called lets nerf everything till the Game sucks. a good Player doesn't care. I can play every gun i actually did on triumphs called Crucible weapon perfection i can link a Screenshot how many of you guys did that.. Oh right there is not even 0.5 percent of the Playerbase which actually did that.. So what Skill are we exactly talking about? The Skill of empty arguments and crying as loud as it possible get? Nf or Luna wasn't close so OP People pretend it has many contenders but well what do i know by archieving every Crucible triumph i can possibly get mostly playing solo ( for not totaly farming my opponents, every Game over 30-60 kills and over 40 days Crucible playtime) what do i know. And the arguments that People bought it or some shit i don't care really. In every looter Game with good rewards rwt exist i play runescape since 2006 and it has this problem too since i play you can't do anything against it. It happens. People can do with their money what ever they want. I personaly would never do something but it's their decision not mine and they don't get better through a gun that's bs. Work for the Things you want and get better or not but then don't complain. End of Story. That's the sad truth.
