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.

5 RepliesI main striker titan in crucible. I rock last word, matador, and jolders. And yes i use armentarium so i get 2 lightning grenades and shoulder charge. Bring on the h8 m8 ;)

4 RepliesI agree. Once I was playing some Iron Banner and all a Striker used was his super charge, melee, shoulder charge, and shotgun. It was frickin' ridiculous.

At least add #satire if you're going to get so mad at butt hurt people.

2 RepliesShoulder charge with a shotgun just makes sense. Striker is CQC, crucible is mostly CQC. This can even work in pve. Shoulder charge then aim shotty during the animation. Now throwing knife is probably somewhat underpowered compared to scorch and shoulder charge. Blink strike as well. Defender has amazing melee utility, if you can trigger it.

U mad bro? Titan life. Must. Punch. EVERYTHING!

It would seem overwhelming. Blink and shotgun/thorn wins. Please author stop adding to the post you have your concensus, let it go.

12 RepliesThis guy is talking out of his ass. He has a negative KD in every game mode on every character, albeit just about breaking even in Rumble on his warlock with a massive 1.0 KD. The guy has hardly even played crucible. He is the ultimate form of butthurt scrub there is in the game. Here's the deal, you can use a striker with a shotgun and play me. I will use No Land Beyond only. Then we will see if you manage to out play me. I don't think you'll even be able to kill me once. This is a challenge scrub.

3 RepliesPretty sure op just thinks he's a good player so he decided to insult the Titan, who everyone agrees is the hardest class for pvp

2 RepliesThat is not science, nor even remotely scientific. Please avoid lying in the future.

Jeez, such a huge wall of text just to be completely wrong lol.

I personally think anyone that runs around with a Shotty is a pain in the ass, one with a Thorn also is just a d!ck.

1 ReplyWhat if my primary was NLB am I still a scrub?

Edited by StringingPilot: 8/5/2015 5:37:55 PMA good foh requires you to rush at enemies and hope that you get there before they kill your, which is the hardest super to do in tech ge considering how the ttk is so low

So? Dont like it, dont play. I swear, where does it stop? If all you babies got your way, we wouldn't have a game to play. Adapt and overcome. Shut up and do your best and deal with it. Or....leave. Hundreds of other games to play.

Sounds like you're pretty butthurt since you made this whole post.

Eh. Thorn blink shotguners are still a plague.

1 ReplyWhilst I'm not picking an argument, you haven't mentioned the survival options of the things you've listed, you can see a titan and keep a distance atleast. Blinking allows you to dodge grenades, supers and physically moves your player, causing temporary loss of aim. Really I don't give a crap, every character is OP if used correctly, and that's how it's meant to be played. Like it or lump it

Lmao there is no panic Blade Dancer or panic Golden Gun.....wtf are you smoking dude?! Also talking about aiming....do you know how massive the aim assist on Golden Gun is? Arc Blade as well...they also enlarge the hit box immensely. I have so many videos of a Blade dancer 5 feet away swinging at air near me or above me and killing me. I have a few videos of them completely behind me, facing the opposite direction no where near the blade and them getting the arc blade kill. Don't get me going on Golden Gun which has Wanted bullets. Why be so ignorant man, holy shit. A striker in order to get an effective use out of FoH usually has to hold their super until the optimal time to take out more than one enemy. Golden Gun and Arc Blade dont, just pop, let fly, and rack up kills. Not to mention they can get their super and use it again while the titan is still waiting for the right time, unless they want to preserve a kill streak, kill someone with heavy, or prevent someone from getting heavy. You offered no science behind any of that, just your highly ignorant and uneducated opinion. Sure I agree blink takes some skill and you need to know how to use it in order to be good with it. It's no different than a striker using catapult and skating around the map wrecking ppl with a shotty or fusion like someone blink shotgunning. It takes some skill in learning how to use a striker effectively like that just like blink.

Wow I must be king of scrubs running around with the Universal Remote as a striker titan in the unstoppable helm and using shoulder charge
