From a PvPer, thank you for the nerf. Here's why.

Thank you very much for the Vex Mythoclast nerf. It needed it. Over the course of the past week more and more people have been using the weapon. Today in Iron Banner, if a well organized team(pre-mades I am assuming) had atleast two Vex Mythos, it was over and the game was easily theres. I led the leaderboards in almost all of my games. Yes I was yelling why is my team sucking so much. But when people who knew what they were doing utilized that weapon, it was pointless. They would lock down the map and have one vex each covering two different lanes of approach, on some maps that's all there is. It was over. The gun is just that good that it beats every 1vs1 matchup. When your team has the lead and you have two points, you assume the defensive positions and there is no pushing them out from their position at that point. Once you see the Vex Mythos wielder, he's already shooting at you because he was waiting for someone to pop their head where you are. He shoots, you're dead. That fast if he is competent. Even if you bring a friend, they have to kill him with an inferior weapon faster than he can aim the Vex Mythos at them. There are no other guns that are undoubtable op. Atheons assault rifle, Plan C, Pocket Infinity. All really good guns that just wreck. If I am really needing to get bounties done I just put on Plan C and decimate people with ease. Its fun to use other weapons too but Fusion Rifles are the best in Crucible right now. Shotguns are great in Rumble. With all of the great guns, none come close to touching what Vex Mythos is. The problem, is that Player Versus Player is supposed to be COMPETITIVE! All of the people crying need to realize that. If having one gun is the only way to compete in Crucible, people will stop playing it unless they have that gun. It is quickly coming to this. The gun is not that rare, and is very common in PvP now. If this were Halo and the Vex Mythos was a weapon on the field to grab up, EVERY player would literally rush there first and the start of the mathc would be a battle for the Vex Mythos. There is no balance in terms of Crucible if this gun is involved. So the point: THE VEX MYTHOCLAST IS UNBALANCED FOR CRUCIBLE. The only people who want to keep it how it is are the people that have it. A large group of people that have it realize it is op and are accepting and/or encouraging of the nerf. Anyone that doesn't have it will stop playing Crucible until they have it or other comperable op guns are introduced. A good analogy can be drawn from Magic The Gathering. There is one card that can basically be used and make any deck exponentially better than how it was before. Black Lotus. The card is universally banned basically. Magic is also a good analogy for balancing. Sometimes something that was intended to be good or great, turns out to be unstoppable and require tweaking. In closing, wait to see if this tweak of theirs really does turn your Vex Mythoclast into a paperweight. It might still be effective, just not god's gun granted to you through his messanger Atheon. Edit: sorry i typed so much because no one seems to like to address points made. Instead its butthurt players going "haha go qq moar git btter" here is a tl;dr learn to read

  • The only people who want the mythoclast nerf are those who didn't or couldnt earn one. Instead of working for it, complain until bungie gives in to nerf it. The majority of the people that have earned it agree that it was balanced due to the fact that they HAVE used it, and know the weapon's weaknesses. So good job, crying enough can get you guys anything.
