But I'm highly skilled at blink! (Destiny)
I just had a post where I moved to a shotgun as primary and used blink extensively in IB. It certainly takes skill, just a different kind. You won't make any points just blinking into a group of enemy players and firing away. You have to be strategic about it, choose the time and place to engage. Just running into the middle of an open field will get you killed, and you will end up with a 1:1 KD at best.
Situational awareness is key to making that strategy work.
There are hardcore groups in any game. I see them often enough in my dabblings in Warhammer 40k; which has decided to solve it's balance problems by smashing the scale with a large bloody chainsaw sword.
These groups always try to solve issues by banning things they don't like. This usually just turns into a very specific game mode with no diversity, and thus doesn't have much fun.
