Someone kindly explain how the use of a grenade, melee, super, gun or gear is a crutch? Like if everyone has access to them easily then how is it a crutch?
For example, prenerf TLW, if you crush someone with it thats not using TLW (especially from close range where TLW dominated) then the guy who got crushed complains about a crutch, when they could just use TLW as well. Then people complain about sticky grenades being a crutch... but they're the ones who choose not to use them.
What I am gathering is if you use anything and it nets you a kill or allows you to survive something then it's labelled a crutch? So until we're all walking around with no guns, no nades, no armour, no arms (to melee) then everyone will have a crutch?
Edit 1: Just so everyone is aware, I'm not actually confused, it just doesn't make sense that people accuse others of having a crutch after being outplayed by them lol

It is funny how many people don't actually seem to know what a crutch is. A crutch is this thing that you stick under your arm and use to help you walk around.It is not uncommon for a person to use two, and it is usually only used by people with leg injuries. In a video game the idea is the same. It doesn't mean an overpowered item, or ability. It is just something you lean heavily on in order to try and get by like everyone else. This becomes a problem, if you never learn to live without it. Metaphorically shifting back to the real crutches...Imagine a person who's leg is healed an simply refuses to walk on it. TLDR; Learn what words actually mean, and learn to walk again.
