Yeah I know what you mean. I was doing the boss encounter of the new raid and the team leader wanted me to use Izanagi. I told him I'm more comfortable with a kinetic sniper and Whisper along with Recluse. They were not happy but let me in anyway all the time -blam!- about it in my ears. During the damage phase I was the one doing the most damage (over a million) because I was hitting all my crits. So how you play your loadout is far more important than the loadout itself. People want crutches because streamers or somebody told them.
