A Top 20 Rumble Player on Why Ghost Bullets Have Removed the Skill Gap

Ghost bullets are a buzzword and community created term, that describes bullets that hit their target, but don't register. This is commonplace on handcannons and shotguns, where one's shot could've been landed perfectly, but didn't register. Bungie refers to this as "Bloom" which also appeared in Halo, but was removed after community outrage. It seeks to decrease bullet registration when rapidly pulling the trigger on a semi-auto weapon. However this can't possibly be the extent of it, as even firing slowly can still cause this to initiate, and these issues were not reported before the launch of TTK last year. The way this reduces the skill-gap is quite simple: your accuracy is luck based. It's up to RNG; even the best players in the world can confirm this, including TripleWRECK, Wish You Luck, nKuch, and various others. This feature systemically punishes skilled players by limiting their abilities through basing their aim on luck. Even average and below average players suffer due to this. It limits their abilities as well; not to mention how rage inducing it is to know you just died because your bullets didn't register, and not from anything you did. If Bungie ever wants Destiny to succeed as a bona fide eSport, and be up in rank with CoD and Halo, they must fix the hit detection issues that have been plaguing us for over 15 months. This needs to stop, and I hope Bungie makes the right decision.
