whats a fusion rifle abuser??😕

You'll be complaining about "sidearm abusers" in the near future.

It was announced today via twitter, that they are planning one last change to bladedancer. When invisibility kicks in, the hunter will lose half health and then immediately die, due to the architects. They are also looking into a way to take away the arc and the blade. The dev reportedly said, think kinetic bananas.

[i]Did you just say fusion rifle abuser? Dah hell did I just walk into?[/i] Well, everything checks out. 2 Hunters. ✔ Shotgun kills: 25k ✔ Sniper kills: 5.2k ✔ Fusion kills: 1.4k ✔

[quote]Introducing...the Scrub The derogatory term “scrub” means several different things. One definition is someone (especially a game player) who is not good at something (especially a game). By this definition, we all start out as scrubs, and there is certainly no shame in that. I mean the term differently, though.[u] A scrub is a player who is handicapped by self-imposed rules that the game knows nothing about[b]. A scrub does not play to win. [/b] [/u]Now, everyone begins as a poor player—it takes time to learn a game to get to a point where you know what you’re doing. [i]There is the mistaken notion, though, that by merely continuing to play or “learn” the game, one can become a top player[/i]. [u]In reality, the “scrub” has many more mental obstacles to overcome than anything actually going on during the game. The scrub has lost the game even before it starts. He’s lost the game even before deciding which game to play.[b] His problem? He does not play to win. [/b][/u]The scrub would take great issue with this statement for he usually believes that he is playing to win, [u]but he is bound up by an intricate construct of fictitious rules that prevents him from ever truly competing. [b]These made-up rules vary from game to game, of course, but their character remains constant. [/b][/u] ......... A common call of the scrub is to cry that the kind of play in which one tries to win at all costs is “boring” or “not fun.” [u]Who knows what objective the scrub has,[b] but we know his objective is not truly to win[/b].[/u] Yours is. Your objective is good and right and true, and let no one tell you otherwise.[u] You have the power to dispatch those who would tell you otherwise, anyway.[b] Simply beat them. [/b][/u] [u]Let’s consider two groups of players: a group of good players and a group of scrubs. The scrubs will play “for fun” and not explore the extremities of the game. They won’t find the most effective tactics and abuse them mercilessly.[b] The good players will[/b]. [/u]The good players will find incredibly overpowering tactics and patterns. As they play the game more, they’ll be forced to find counters to those tactics. The vast majority of tactics that at first appear unbeatable end up having counters, though they are often quite subtle and difficult to discover. Knowing the counter tactic prevents the other player from using his tactic, but he can then use a counter to your counter. You are now afraid to use your counter and the opponent can go back to sneaking in the original overpowering tactic. This concept will be covered in much more detail later. [u]The good players are reaching higher and higher levels of play. They found the “cheap stuff” and abused it. [b]They know how to stop the cheap stuff[/b].[/u] They know how to stop the other guy from stopping it so they can keep doing it. And as is quite common in competitive games, many new tactics will later be discovered that make the original cheap tactic look wholesome and fair. Often in fighting games, one character will have something so good it’s unfair. Fine, let him have that. As time goes on, it will be discovered that other characters have even more powerful and unfair tactics. Each player will attempt to steer the game in the direction of his own advantages, much how grandmaster chess players attempt to steer opponents into situations in which their opponents are weak. Let’s return to the group of scrubs. They don’t know the first thing about all the depth I’ve been talking about. Their argument is basically that ignorantly mashing buttons with little regard to actual strategy is more “fun.” Superficially, their argument does at least look valid, since often their games will be more “wet and wild” than games between the experts, which are usually more controlled and refined. But any close examination will reveal that the experts are having a great deal of this “fun” on a higher level than the scrub can even imagine.[u] [b]Throwing together some circus act of a win isn’t nearly as satisfying as reading your opponent’s mind to such a degree that you can counter his every move, even his every counter. [/b][/u] [u]Can you imagine what will happen when the two groups of players meet? [b]The experts will absolutely destroy the scrubs with any number of tactics they’ve either never seen or never been truly forced to counter. [/b]This is because the scrubs have not been playing the same game. The experts were playing the actual game [b]while the scrubs were playing their own homemade variant with restricting, unwritten rules[/b].[/u] [u]The scrub has still more crutches. He talks a great deal about “skill” and how he has skill whereas other players—very much including the ones who beat him flat out—do not have skill.[b] [i]The confusion here is what “skill” actually is[/i][/b].[/u][/quote] http://www.sirlin.net/ptw-book/introducingthe-scrub

Are you saying there aren't tryhards that can adapt to any meta and soon you will get tired of it?

I looked at a lot of replies here and I can say without a doubt that you don't know what you're taking about. "Tryhards" are not a real thing. It's just something salty people say when they get killed. A lot of people have fun doing well. Calling people desperate makes you sound like an Ahole. You also cannot speak for all the players playing games. And I've also seen you say you had shotgun days and that that is behind you but you still have a Matador 64 equipped. Just because you tell everyone that you're "done shotgunning" that doesn't mean everyone who is is a "Tryhard" or "Desperate"

31% of all your crucible kills are with a shotgun. 31%. [spoiler]shotgun scrub. [/spoiler]

Nlb and a sidearm. Lol they didnt learn anything

Just gonna throw this out there, those "tryhards" as you call them, they are still going to destroy people. Taking away special ammo does not change the fact that the good people are still good. If anything, this has widened the skill gap and makes it easier to kill thumbless potatoes running around in crucible.

You probably call anyone with a 1k/d or higher a try hard lmao

Boy is this an entertaining thread. Way to start a shit storm OP!

Intervention time. If these weapons require no skill, then why aren't your stats better? Are you saying people with no skill routinely pub stomp you? Your stats are worse than mine, and I'm such a scrub Sweeper Bot takes the rest of the day off whenever I spawn into the Tower. And I barely use my secondary.

Bro..... .56 .86 .92 says fusions take no skill GTFO. Obviously a sheet of paper could kill you in the crucible. Laters hater scrub a dub.

What was wrong with bladedancer?

2 hunters, and look at all those shotgun kills.. Lol

Please delete your hunters... Thanks

What exactly IS a "tryhard"? Don't we all try our best/hardest whenever we play?

With those stats, melees are OP to you Also, calls people tryhard when using NLB/shotgun and Nightstalkers

Fusion rifles were hardly Tryhard weapons.

eeeh ,,, My shotty still on point, and now it seems even better .. I'm actually getting clean kills, and no sliver of energy being left over on a guardian I directly hit !! PLENTY of Special ammo .. I don't have to worry about losing ammo, when I'm staying alive Reload speed kind of slow, but sprinting readys the weapon much faster. and there's my primary for protection . so nothing wrong for me... and you all will still see my SHOTTY BLAST boom on ya ass!!1
