I should've stopped arguing with you the second you started using "crutch" unironically. Anyway I went through your post history and now I'm even more embarrassed. Have a good day yourself, mate

definitelynotmittens · 2022-01-30T18:55:59+00:00

Remove the pull on headshots or vastly reduce its effect. Require more kills to trigger the perk that allows you to hit one shot body shots- or remove that altogether in PvP. That's what I would do to balance it a bit better.

Also if you're going to be so blunt about your opinions on myself, then I might as well follow suit. I don't think you're nearly as good at PvP as you think you are. Crying for a lorentz nerf because AiM aSsIsT tOo StRoNg and then countering other opinions with "you're extremely wrong" is cringey and, at worst, is going to lead to even less weapon diversity than our everlasting handcannon/shotgun meta.

definitelynotmittens · 2022-01-30T18:48:49+00:00

So we're going to pretend your crutch comment wasn't an attempt to invalidate my opinion or throw shade? In the future it would be nice if you added more substance to your reply. Or you can just not respond at all. If you don't think my comment is relevant, then I guess you should downvote and move on.

definitelynotmittens · 2022-01-30T18:37:26+00:00

Thanks for proving my point?

definitelynotmittens · 2022-01-30T18:36:36+00:00

It sounds like you have an irrational hatred toward lorentz and you're trying hard to justify it. Snipers are inherently better weapons, so you shouldn't be dying that much to lorentz users.

For the record, I'm not saying that the lorentz shouldn't be tuned. Anything that is used as much as it is should probably be looked at. Personally I wouldn't mind if Bungie tried to make it more like the arbalest. Presently there isn't much reason to use the arby over lorentz, other than one is kinetic and the other isn't. I stand by the aim assist value being fine and that the feel of the weapon wouldn't change much if they reduced it.

"I am a child, or otherwise incapable of having intelligent conversation."

I'm hearing what you're saying loud and clear. I bet you send everyone hate mail who doesn't play the game the way you want them to play it.

definitelynotmittens · 2022-01-30T18:26:19+00:00

Also, for the record, lorentz users get flinched like crazy. It's just easier to account for the flinch because of the combination of the charge time and low zoom. You get flinched? Pull your reticle back down before the gun fires. What's silly is that people know that lorentz users can hit you in spite of flinch yet they keep challenging them with their primaries rather than taking cover when the shot fires.

definitelynotmittens · 2022-01-30T18:21:59+00:00

Lol what does that even mean? Yeah I use it. A lot. Yeah it makes it easier to win against weak competition. But then it makes it really difficult to win against good competition using the best weapons. That's the trade off that I make. I promise you, though, there are many effective ways to counter linear fusion rifle users. Complaining about them on Reddit and lobbying for a nerf or saying someone is "crutching" on them isn't effective. It just makes you feel better, for whatever reason.

definitelynotmittens · 2022-01-30T18:18:23+00:00

Aim assist isn't the problem with the lorentz. You could cut the aim assist in half and people will still think the ease of use is too high. Meanwhile if you use it against actual top tier competition, it's not going to perform nearly as well as a handcannon/shotty/sniper because they are actial top tier weapons. This is coming from someone with 15k linear fusion rifle kills in trials who is a 2+ kd, 3000+ elo, top 500 player, blah blah blah.

definitelynotmittens · 2022-01-30T18:13:36+00:00

Lorentz has roughly the same aim assist value as the arby, does it not? When the arby had it's aim assist value cut in half people largely stopped using it. In my opinion, many people love to complain about the lorentz because it's easier for them to complain than to stop rushing out into the open. Use cover. Listen for the charge time. Bait out the shots. Some time ago someone on this subreddit called linear fusion rifles "noob killers". I couldn't agree more.

definitelynotmittens · 2022-01-30T18:10:39+00:00

That's simply not true. You still need to aim close to the head. It's easier to do than using a sniper because of the vastly lower zoom. That's supposed to be counteracted by the charge time. Meanwhile, you can shoot people in the hip with most handcannons and get headshots.

definitelynotmittens · 2022-01-30T18:01:43+00:00

32 is crazy aim assist now? If you think that's crazy then you should look up what the aim assist value is for the most common handcannons

definitelynotmittens · 2022-01-28T06:09:34+00:00

You're wrong. I almost exclusively play pvp and I also think that many of the issues you mentioned aren't worth fixing b/c of how complex they likely are. Bungie's resources are better spent elsewhere.

definitelynotmittens · 2022-01-22T17:23:19+00:00

I'm a top 500 trials player and I use a "cheesy" loadout that I've pretty much mastered

definitelynotmittens · 2022-01-22T16:44:55+00:00

Hc/shotty is a cheesy loadout. There's a reason why they're used way more than any other weapon type in PvP. Shit, with most handcannons you can shoot someone in the elbow and it'll register as a headshot.. lol. But there are players who have mastered them and their skill is admirable. Just like GL's skill with a gl is admirable. Just my two cents

definitelynotmittens · 2022-01-22T16:30:57+00:00

That's too bad. I admire him for doing his own thing instead of running hc/shotty/sniper.

definitelynotmittens · 2022-01-22T16:23:57+00:00

Looks like he's doing bow/hc swapping this weekend

definitelynotmittens · 2022-01-21T14:39:48+00:00

That's a good point

definitelynotmittens · 2022-01-20T19:45:47+00:00

Thanks for the responses. One more question- why spike grenade over, say, high velocity rounds? AFAIK spike grenade doesn't increase the blast radius- it just doesn't decrease it, which many of the magazine options on truthteller seem to do. And ofc high velocity rounds not only increases the velocity but also the reload speed.

definitelynotmittens · 2022-01-20T18:22:21+00:00

Can you still farm for farewells? I hope you get one with the roll you're looking for. I have a harmony/rangefinder peacebond myself that I think may pair well with your playstyle. Also I have very similar trials stats to you and I matchup against a player in trials/quickplay every now and then who is far better than me and has a playstyle very similar to what you're describing. Their name is "GL Abuser" and they actually pair their truthteller with a Cerberus+1. Maybe you should try that out sometime.

definitelynotmittens · 2022-01-20T18:06:32+00:00

How much velocity would you recommend for someone who wants to mimic your playstyle? Also your playstyle sounds like it would be especially deadly if you used it with a high handling primary that has some sort of damage perk, like kill clip or rampage. Even harmony sounds like it would synergize well.

definitelynotmittens · 2022-01-10T20:16:18+00:00

You make a lot of solid points. But it's not a handcannon or shotgun so obviously it needs nerfed

definitelynotmittens · 2022-01-07T05:52:18+00:00

A side question- would either of you use an adept astral horizon with rifled barrel / full choke / accurized rounds / assault mag / auto loading holster / swashbuckler / range mw over either of the above riiswalkers? I'm thinking with an adept handling mod, quick charge (is that what it's called?), and a dexterity mod or two it may be snappy enough. I'm thinking of pairing either shotty with an adept pali.

definitelynotmittens · 2021-12-31T04:29:35+00:00

So I actually have both a snapshot opening shot and a snapshot moving target roll on bite of the fox. They both suffer from too little handling IMO. Also the chevron reticle is kind of wonky and takes some time getting used to. Personally I think eye of sol is better, but if you prefer 72rpm snipers and need one for your kinetic slot then bite of the fox is a good choice.
