Blink itself has never been the true problem.
When Bungie decided to balance the Felwinter, through giving away clones to anyone, Blink Shotgunning became a problem.
Back in the day, when Autorifles still killed things in the Crucible and most people camped one way or another with their fusion rifles, blink was no problem.
(try using a fusion rifle while you Blink....)
Then the meta changed and Bungie reinforced Blink/Shotgunning through giving away copies of the Felwinter that you can reroll.
Suddenly, everybody had a shotgun sniper and Blink became much more effective.
I am not sure if TLW with the Hunter Quick draw perk was an answer to blink shotgunners, or if it started as its own OP thing, but the way I see it, is that Blink/Shotgunners made TLW much more popular, as only TLW offered a TTK fast enough to deal with charging Blinkers.
Overall, nerfing Blink after Bungie basically nerfs everything that complimented Blink (shotgun snipers, TLW, buffing AR), is the wrong thing to do.
It's simply an unnecessary overkill solution, if everything that made blink effective, will get changed anyhow.
Combined with the new subclases and a therefore even further changing meta, Blink has no business of getting nerfed.
Anyhow, if they want to nerf, plz nerf Lightning grenades as well.
The most OP grenade in the game, combined with the Armamentarium and a 100% discipline build, paired with the shoulder charge, make the Titan OP on every map with enough chokepoints.
And thus, I am all for nerfing lightning grenades, if they nerf Blink.
This isn't a troll post, by the way. I am of the opinion that most people don't understand the titan's zoning potential, simply because he has those grenades. No other grenade can compete with that damage and aoe.

Well I just shoot them and all gone. Yup yup.

Not to mention the amount of times I would throw my lightning grenade and it hits a groove on the wall making it spaz out and be completely ineffective.

My problem with blink was never blink shotgunning. That is fairly easy to counter. The problem is the damage evasion, blink allows players to escape supers and rockets too easily.

4 RepliesEveryone is missing the point on lightning grenades, the moment a lightning grenade stick, it releases lightning, meaning that it could instantly kill a wounded player with 60% health left, personally I don't have a problem with them but I watched too many blueberries die from instant death when they had roughly 50% health left and the grenade barely landed, the hunter's tripmine takes 1 second to activate after sticking which gives players a chance to avoid it

No sir! Love dem chits! They are boss in Control, and are lovely for perpendicular walls when the enemy is trying to bring the pain...or grab some heavy. Murdered there guys trying to grab heavy from the balcony on Cauldron earlier. Placed it right on the inside of one of the low walls surrounding the crate. Never saw it coming...then they did, and thought it was spent, lol.

Blink is a problem to, it let's you survive a rocket point blank or shoot a rocket while still in the air.

2 RepliesSounds like a hunter or a warlock crying because he can't get away from a well placed grenade. Just walk away from it, problem solved!

Jet Set WillyIt’s all going concording to plan 😂🤣 - old
I tend to have more success with warlock grenades. Got a double kill with a tracking scatter grenade the other night. -
5 RepliesUmm Arcbolt and Firebolt? You just have to get it somewhere in the vicinity of the person and it hits. Lightning grenades have to be precisely aimed to be effective. Not to mention Axionbolt.
