Very true. This is a video game, and your own personal enjoyment should come before the perceived enjoyment of others. You should be playing first for yourself. I currently like to play Rifle + P/P Deadeye, because it is very fun for me. At the start of every game I told my team I was not a "decap" Thief. I reached plat using my fun pew pew build, but you can bet your butt that in the case of a loss it was "Thief we lost because you didn't decap." (No, you lost because you couldn't beat the enemy, but you need someone to blame, and it can't possibly be because you fought players that were above your skill level - you're the best player you know!) But the countless times that I was showered with post-game medals (Most Damage, Kills, Defense, Offense, etc...) nobody seemed to give me praise for being effective.

Their defense is the sheer amount of condi stacks and burst-style damage of those conditions that they perpetually fart out around them. And obviously, its working as a great defense right now on top of top-tier offense.

That would come with problems of its own, such as being turned into a gap closer with the same range as your max targeting distance.
