Instead of “Gitting Gud” due to the new nerfs

Players are literally finding new weapons that were already in the game from the beginning that they didnt use before. How is this game even considered competitive? Just watched Aztecross video and I am severely disappointed at how this community is. It seems like every single streamer in the game is already choosing a different weapon because their crutches are getting nerfed. Where is the “Git Gud” via your own skill at? 😂😂😂😂

    • I think we're confusing crutch with optimal. You don't look in your toolbox and say "hey, this is the best tool for the job, but I think I'll make the job harder arbitrarily by using the wrong tool so I feel special inside".

              Seems like you take this game too seriously. People are going to use whatever is the most fun for them. No one really cares what you have to say. If someone likes using OP shit then than that's what they are gonna do. If they want to improve or "git gud" they'll practice with different weapons, but still likely use meta when they want to win. End all be all. It doesn't matter, and this post is extremely childish. You aren't "special" for deciding to use less than optimal weapons. It's just your choice, it means nothing.

                    • The streamers weren't the ones who added shot package, quickdraw, full choke, opening shot and a range masterwork to a shotgun.

                        Good players are good with whatever they use or whatever the meta is. They will continue to be good no matter what's in rotation. So I honestly dont know what you're on about. But id definitely like to smoke whatever you are .

                        • So wait, are you implying that people should just not change the weapons they use? Or that they should purposely use weapons that are not as good as others? Like will you only be happy when the entire crucible population is using blue weapons? “Git Gud” would involve having an understanding of the current meta, and anti-meta and using said meta. Gotta used the best to be the best... well except that I wipe the floor in control using literally any weapons, but then again, I’ve already “got gud”

                            People glue the meta to their own hands. That's how it is. I don't think it becomes a "crutch" until comeone is reliant on it though. Just because someone uses the meta doesn't mean they need it to compete. However, we're gonna see a lot of people not be able to swap to their shotgun fast enough when their primary shot blows. That'll be a fun week in Crucible. Not gonna lie.

                            • The problem you fail to recognize is Bungie openly acknowledges they use a rotating meta and they are just doing what they always do. Super in depth balancing isn't their focus. Every three months it's "Here's some new toys, we made them good. Go play." Rinse and repeat. The players response of shifting to what is the new best is just natural to the system put in place.

                              • Ok so 120 rpm and felwinter are not going away any time soon. Mark my words. I'm willing to bet felwinter usage will just go up and so will 120 rpm HC. They have not buffed anything else and have not announced any new maps that maybe will be scout friendlier and not so HC/shotty friendly. Meta is not changing unless they announce something before next season. Everyone is complaining about weapons and I'm sitting here wondering when the -blam!- we getting some new game modes and maps.

                                  • Next seasons these ‘new’ weapons will be what need to be nerfed, just because the meta shifted.

                                      • Calling someone's strongest loadout a crutch shows your ignorance of the competitive side of PvP. If you expect PvP players to stick with weaker weapons then you are a bit foolish. You use the word competitive...that means its about winning, not derping. People are finding new loadouts because the perks have/are getting hit so those guns will not act the same. Going ahead and finding replacements when you know whats coming is the smart thing to do instead of waiting and getting shit on once the change comes....kinda sounds a bit like ensuring you have enough skill with said weapons...you know...gitting gud with them! Finding something else that's strong in a game with hundreds of weapons is kinda what you're meant to do. The reason Bungie force meta changes is for that exact reason.

                                        • I really don't get this mentality, like all the big PvP streamers are actually garbage and the only reason why they do well is because they "cRuTcH tHe MeTa." I'm sorry, but any good player is going to beat a bad player even if they're using off-meta loadouts. Also hardly anyone considers this game competitive, even the streamers you're complaining about. I also use a lot of off-meta stuff, but I understand why people like to run the meta and I don't knock them for doing so. Reading through some of your replies about how you "can't touch the META period," you honestly just sound like a contrarian.

                                              I don't use 140s or Bastion, so I don't have anything to say about those. The sword nerfs make no sense to me, and with the loss of chip damage, I hope that damage is being applied to shields. But the Quickdraw nerf on aggressive shotguns? All that's going to accomplish is at least one of the following: More Shotgun Dexterity usage. People pulling out shotguns sooner. More of other shotguns with Quickdraw being used, probably slugs mostly. Discourage the use of abilities with aggressive shotguns that had Quickdraw. Encourage the Quickdraw glitch/ exploit. Or people might switch back to Backup Plan fusions. It's not going to accomplish anything. Edit: Meant to say 120s, not 140s.
