This is fact. It cannot be contended.
Edit - I can't believe how many butthurt Strikers are out there. The post was meant as a half joke but now that I see all the posts trying to say that blinking and using Thorn are more cheap I am convinced these people I talked about in the title have no idea how lame they are.
Let me explain a bit why the blinking and Thorn arguments are less valid. Thorn is a hand cannon which means that despite the poison ability, it still requires more precision aim to hit something with a single bullet versus a whiff of grapeshot. You also can't one-shot someone with Thorn, unlike a shotgun.
Blinking, to those who only use Titans and don't realise this, actually requires aim and timing. Unless there is a perk I am unaware of, there is no homing blink. It is actually the most complicated means of traversal in the entire game. Learning to blink shotty, while cheap, at least requires the skill to blink properly so you're not jumping at the ceiling or something. It is still scrub since it uses a shotgun but again, requires mastery of the hardest platforming skill in the game so it seems less scrubby to me.
Also, Fist of Havoc requires zero aim unless you're using the superman dive and that still requires minimal aiming, roughly the aiming skill of a nova bomb.
Furthermore, although Shoulder Charge can be used as a means of platforming, the main use is for offensive purposes and it can do damage in and of itself. It is impossible to physically hurt someone using Blink alone.
Viking Funeral can be considered cheap...but how can it cause physical damage in and of itself? Oh wait, it can't. You can't panic kill someone with VF or Blade Dance or Golden Gun. Literally the only two panic kill supers are Nova Bomb and Fist of Havok. But a Warlock with Nova Bomb and Blink and a Shotgun still is less scrub because of the reasons mentioned above: Blink takes at least some skill and can't cause damage versus Shoulder Charge that can.
So Strikers with shotguns have the move set and loadout that requires the least aim, least skill, has more offensive options and allows panic supers.
Seriously. I do not understand how people do not see how it allows the most scrub kills in the entire game. Yes, you CAN be a Striker with skill and get plenty of kills not using these methods and when I am killed by a Striker who uses a primary weapon or who uses FoH to take out more than one person I have no complaints. That usually doesn't happen though.

4 RepliesI made a poll earlier asking what class took the least skill. Warlocks were in the lead by a massive amount (over 3000 votes) hunters in the middle, and titans last. We can argue all you want, but numbers dont lie. Out of the top 100 PVPers, about 12 of them are titans. The rest are blink shotgunning hunters and warlocks.

4 RepliesEdited by Salohcin J: 8/5/2015 9:56:46 PMLook man, don't hate on people because of their playstyle (this is to everyone else as well). I don't judge people for what they like. I enjoy Striker shotty combo because I like to get up close and personal and then kill them. I'm just not great at crucible and distance shots are harder for me. Call me a noob or scrub, but I have fun. The only times I judge are when people do something to hop on the bandwagon. Wanna play Thorn because you enjoy using it? Go ahead. Wanna play Thorn because everyone else is and it's OP? Now I have a problem.

2 RepliesEdited by Sixclicks: 8/5/2015 10:50:22 PMYeah... no. Blink hardly takes any skill. It took me at most a day to get it down. Once you get past that initial disorientation of using it the first few times, it becomes completely natural and doesn't really require any thinking on your part at all. Or very little at least. I hate seeing blink shotgunners all the time, and don't really like the sliding Striker Titan shotgunners either. But shotgunning with a Titan absolutely takes more skill than blink shotgunning. Especially since you can't really follow up with a melee attack when necessary due to your T-Rex arms. Shoulder charge is kind of shitty most of the time. Usually you just end up getting a Felwinter's Sniper to the face before you can close the gap or you end up making contact and nothing happens and you end up dead. If I were forced to play shotguns only, I would choose Hunter 1000 times before the other classes. Quickdraw alone really gives you an advantage. You get to aim your shotgun for shotpackage nearly instantly. You also get an Arcbolt Grenade every spawn with Lucky Raspberry and a OHK melee (backstab) that will also heal you with Hungering Blade. In case you didn't know, jumping and then meleeing the enemy's head will often times count as a back stab, even from the front, and will do around 380 damage.

1 ReplyEdited by atbat8: 8/6/2015 2:01:58 AMYep blink takes so much skill because you have to look where you want to blink to AND hit the jump button at the same time... So difficult I have a 34 Titan, hunter, and warlock so don't say I'm butthurt because I only use my Titan. I prefer being a Hunter in crucible. Edit: oh my god he is a Titan using striker and a shotgun yet he is ranting about it XD

11 RepliesNot worth it trying to reason with Titans. Their brains are too tiny to see that shoulder charge is Crazy powerful, fist of havoc is BROKEN, they have some of the best nades (flash bang and Lightning grenade) and can be the fastest of all the classes. And a lot of them seem to like to complain about blink. Yet you accelerate vertically so fast with a Titan with increased height, it's as if you're blinking.
