Youtubers: Calling to many things Godly/OP for PvP?

This is just what I've noticed lately that a lot of Youtubers calling certain weapon rolls... OP and Godly, when they aren't. A Vanity with Hotswap and Danger close? Really? Is that godly? No it's not, BUT if a youtuber says it is... and gives you one gameplay video of it and doing well, everyone in the comment section for some reason agrees that it's a god tier roll. I think the term GODLY and OP are thrown around way to often lately, sure something can have god tier perks on it, and it can be a great weapon... but you have to take in the current meta and play styles. Doctrine... and pack hunting. Calling a over all average auto with nothing spectacular about it a OP killing machine because it has counter balance, and the other perks are over all garbage... why do you call it OP? Specially when most of your kills that you show it off in the video with are clean up kills you got with a sniper or melee. Unless the perk roll is that roll that if you pick it up and you just melt your target, like Doctrine's default perks, don't call it Godly or OP. If you get a hand canon with a range perk and maybe... range finder and Luck in the Chamber, then yeah, call it god tier. But Triple Tap, Smallbore and Icarus? If you know what Youtubers I'm talking about, by all means I'm not trying to say they are bad... but they need to tone it down with the way they describe weapon rolls.

    They do it to bait people in. People s3arch for those types of videos, which is how they maintain their views high enough to make cash for beer and pizza.

  • A lot of ppl will go what they say just because they can't make up there minds. I use weapons I feel good with. Even if they don't have good rolls by other ppl.. Yea I used mida just cause I like to see the map in pvp I'll even use my titans class item gun for fun in ib.

  • I have to agree, they seem to start weapon trends, suros, mythoclast, thorn, then sadly MIDA. I've seen the videos where they tell everyone that it's a potent weapon, then sure enough, it shows up everywhere in the crucible.
