they lost me at "we removed blink to encourage skill" (Destiny)

Of course, they justify this all by arguing that "it encourages skill" which I think is cockamamey. The current model also encourages skill, just not to the degree that a skilled player will literally never die.

I think you just nailed down what irritates me about the "pro" FPS crowd in general. In their minds, anything less than an even draw in terms of base character and weapon stats is unacceptable. It's very tiresome, and anyway, plenty of those games already exist. What's the point of changing Destiny to fit that mold?
