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

Personal definition: Skill/weapon that a person relies on so heavily that their game-play or performance would be greatly diminished if they did not have it. Also can be a weapon/skill that has such an unfair advantage that you are essentially forced to use it despite whether or not you like it.
