The only argument I've seen for the erentil is that "you only hate it because you shotgun" This has always been the main argument for the Erentil and has ALWAYS been coming from a low tier players. Yes, I do run a shotgun but I barely even use it. I'm highly primary focused and the only situation I use my shotgun is when someone comes too close. If you play on console and is BELOW top 10% in the crucible please don't even comment in this post. Due to skillbased matchmaking and lack of crusible experience lower tier players wont understand how stupid Erentil is. I'm sure it's easy to outplay at lower levels but I ended up top 1 to top 0.5% in crucible in the gammodes I played last season. In my lobbys people rarely miss or get baited. Unless you're at a similar skill level you cannot understand how cancerous the erentil actually is. I totally get that fusions are suppose to be shotgun counters and I'm fine with that but when a fusion rifle starts to push within or even beyond pulse rifle territory it's gone too far. I have a god roll Spare Rations with a whooping 66 range plus rangefinder. I can 3 tap people at 29 meters. It has longer range than an ace of spades yet I ALWAYS get outranged by the Erentil and I even flinch it harder since I've got high caliber rounds... Do you not see how stupid this is? FFS bungie they're suppose to counter shotguns. Max range on shotty is like what? 8 meters? 10 maximum. Wouldn't it make sense that the Erentil and other high impact fusions would have a maximum KO range of like 15-20? Right now any erentil can KO far beyond 30 meters. With the God roll you can kill up to 75 meters... that's further than most pulse rifles. If they're gonna have a KO range like that they should be projectiles and not hitscan. Make them the way they were in D1 and the problem is solved. Either that or reduce the range drastically because the only way you can compete right now is if you sit at the back of the map with a scout rifle or sniper and most of us doesnt want to camp all game just because there's an Erentil on the enemy team.
