Someone told me once after I stated that I was tired of blink, that half the time it is a hindrance to the player... Considering that I have used every class, as well as all of their abilities, I can say for sure that blink is just as much of a hindrance as it is helpful... Which begs the question, why is it so prevalent in the crucible right now? Because in certain situations, it provides a free and easy kill and people would hinder their own game play experience just to have that option. After calming down, I did some more thinking... It was never blink that was a problem, and historically throughout the game people really didn't start to utilize it in mass until the ranged shotguns appeared. This gave people who would otherwise have made a serious mistake by blinking, a chance to pull off a completely random, BS kill with a ranged shotgun. whether you agree with it or not, Bungie has proven that they will Nerf weapons and strategies based on overuse. I think that you will see less blink after the incoming shotgun range nerf. Consequently, when over use ceases, The metrics will produce a more desirable number when it comes to variety of strategy in the crucible. Personally, I can't wait. Yes, there will be some other strategy that people abuse but at least there will be a grace period for a while where different strategies and weapons will be used, giving me the player an opportunity to use a variety of weapons and strategies myself.
