The idea that fusion rifles in general need to be nerfed strikes is, in my opinion, misguided. for the majority of fusion rifles, the charge times and spread put you at a severe disadvantage. When considering that it also takes pretty much a full burst to kill (If you can even hit those pesky hunters) you could say that they are evenly balanced. You should also take note of your own condition. Were you injured? Were you outnumbered? Did you land the majority of your shots? The variables to be taken into account when considering weapon balancing and whether a weapon (or weapon type) is overpowered are vast in their multitude. On a different note, each weapon type will have it's own "super weapons" - weapons that have good stats mixed with amazing perk combos which make them highly effective. Every weapon type has these kind of weapons (i.e. Shadow Price [When from engram/drops], Thunderlord, etc.). A final thing to consider: nerfing isn't always the best answer. Continually decreasing the effectiveness of specific weapons/types will often result in other weapons being considered to be the new "best option" and thus results in a balancing problem. Destiny PvP shouldn't have a "best option", Bungie said it themselves, Hence the changes across all weapon types. If you were to change ONLY fusion rifles then who's to say that shotguns or auto rifles don't become the new go-to weapons again? - not intended in an entirely serious manner, just an example. Please Note: I did not post this to alienate or offend anyone in any way. I am NOT in any way a professional gamer, I do NOT consider myself an expert in any way - for all I know Destiny's mechanics work in magical ways which I may never understand. Opinions are not fact, and I have merely provided an opinion. Anyway, have fun out there folks!
