Here's the problem. Right now the MIDA is relatively OP because everything has been nerfed. So yes, while targeted nerfs would have been appropriate a year ago, they are not appropriate now. Now in fact buffs, and only buffs, are the correct solution. Not forever, but people act like it always has to be one or the other or both simultaneously. Nothing but buffs ever again will be fine if we get to a balanced state then never touch weapon balance again, but that won't happen. So inevitably yes, nothing but buffs forever will lead to ridiculousness. Nothing but nerfs, even targeted nerfs, will lead to the opposite problem and then no guns are fun to use at all. They've already butchered entire weapon classes and then left them there because of nerfs. Worse it just kills PvE. Both buffs and nerfs are necessary. The problem Bungie has is they lack finesse. Either the effect is pathetically small (like a .4% or whatever buff to autorifle damage) and does nothing, or the effect is way too large like literally every nerf they've ever done.

  • I too believe that buffs are very needed at the current state. But Bungie can't slap blanket buffs across whole weapon types. That will call for blanket nerfs once again. They need to tune specific weapons in order achieve balance.

  • Yes and no. Fusion rifles need blanket buffs. The entire weapon class is just bad. Shotguns as a whole need a buff and then specific shotguns need tuning from there as a corrective measure.

  • I believe fusions all need a buff as well. They're awful and ridiculously unpredictable. Shotguns also need a buff. But only some. While two in specific (I bet you can guess which ones), still need to be toned down a bit. I've always loved shotguns, but there are a couple that have unreasonably risen to the top, while the rest are next to pure shit.
