"...You finally use your sword for the 1st time in the crucible. You were hyped, pumped up, confident that you'll be able to use it and it will REKT everyone. You get the heavy ammo, you take your sword out, and you try to go on a kill spree. You only manage to get 1 kill from the sword, you die against... a rocket launcher..."

So, are swords really useful in the crucible? My answer to this.... well, not really. Swords are a great heavy weapon to use... in PvE. They're good in PvP, but if you were to go competitive, using a Sword than a HMG or a Rocket Launcher could be a big mistake. Swords do great damage in short range (Bolt-Caster is the only exception, can do damage from short to long), but you need to master the sword, attacking and BLOCKING. Most players are average with a sword because they don't know how to use the block correctly. Others know and are above par with others, but using a sword means you either must be aggressive or quick to kill. Not knowing how to block is going to kill you, because there are guns like TLW and shotguns that kill in close/point blank range. Using a sword uses good amount of skill and time into it. You don't just go straight to a fight and swing your sword at him, hoping to get a kill (which doesn't work, by the way). When trying to use a sword, make sure to put time and effort of using the weapon, because it will help you. If you just like using a sword in PvP, but you're not competitive, then you can just play around and have fun, but if you're competitve and you're using a sword, you must be that skilled to use it.
