[2021] Is Black Beard Trash?

Originally posted by Belanskz: I thought he was good but some say that I shouldn't use him. Is he underwhelming?

Players really dislike playing against him. His shield is designed to withstand a headshot, and if you come across a good BB who can headshot you as you're breaking his shield, it can be frustrating for the one that died. I think it's kind of seen as the honor code if you don't use Blackbeard.

I'd love to hear some ideas on how you'd like to see Blackbeard buffed or reworked!
