I agree with you to a point, but there were times ( not alot i admit) where the best solution for the sake of balance was to nerf something, best example when thorn/last word ruled the crucible, the ttk on the last word was unreasonable in relation to other primaries and some secondaries, and thorn ( in its prime) could set someone up for lethal dmg with only 2 headshots, the argument to bring other weapons up woudnt have worked on that problem because the game would have been to fast, the only option they had was to bring thorn and last word down a peg, but again i agree that most of the "cry for nerfs" are bad for the game and shouldnt be encouraged.
