Don't even bother with trying to suggest ways to even out the playing field... others have tried constructive ways to negotiate on how to adjust guns like TLW, Thorn, Hawkmoon, and other touchy guns of the Crucible, and all get shot down. To an extent it's reasonable to shoot down suggestions because with Bungie's track record, it'll get overnerfed. Now your ideas are good, hell I'd like to see 'em tested out and likely implemented, but trying to convince the tryhards and whiners is very difficult...
