I have a theory about this with absolutely no factual basis. (Destiny)

He had 55 kills in a losing effort. Blade dancer, blink, Found Verdict, Mask of the Third Man, specced fully for agility and longer blade dancing. My PvP crew is pretty good, and we would see him coming a mile away, and not be able to do a damn thing about it. I think he spent half the game in blade dance mode, and the other half of it behind me with his shotgun. The guy had over 10,000 points in the game and yet, somehow, incredibly, his team lost.

We stayed in the room to see if it was a fluke, and maybe it was... He only got 44 kills in the following match.

I have tried his build, but I'm not nearly as good as he is. 32 kills for 6200 points is my high water mark, but I have something to aim for every time I play now.

Also, nerf Found Verdict. Too. Much. Range.

One of the guys chaos and I run with has that shotgun slide down about as perfect as humanly possible. I notice when we run with him that I don't have my super as frequently because he's the one killing everybody, and I think sometimes with great players like that, getting all the kills on your team hurts your team because nobody else is super-ing; the great player will inevitably have his super shut down by the other teams supers, and his team will lose.

I have nothing more than this anecdote to back up my claim, does anyone have a way to measure this theory?
