SMG Recoil (M&K vs. Controller) Needs to be addressed

Bungie, we need to address the elephant in the room, SMG recoil discrepancies between mouse and keyboard versus controller. Mouse and keyboard users have an enormous advantage, especially in PvP because they can spec for max range and face absolutely no penalties to stability and recoil direction, whereas most controller players have to max out recoil direction and stability. Let me give you a great example: The Recluse has a recoil direction stat of 100, even without recoil changing barrels being applied. On mouse and keyboard, you can get a max range roll (Full Bore/Ranged Mag/Range Masterwork) without even considering stability. Despite having a recoil direction of 100, the same max range roll on controller would be untenable for most controller players. The percentage of controller players who can manage to make all their shots without considering stability is very very small. Even with a max stability roll, these are still challenging to manage on controller. I think the discrepancy between M&K and Controller for SMG’s, especially Lightweight Frame SMG’s (900 RPM) is too great and I think this deserves to be looked at. The Recluse and other lightweight frame SMG’s should have a more predictable recoil pattern.
