Good Podcast guys.

Ugh this is a difficult subject for me.
Ok first and for most there is absolutely an increased number of deaths I've taken to stickies since the special economy changes (which is the fn culprit of this issue). Trials is a disaster to the point I have refused to run it based on this mostly.
I also deal with it in every fn game mode in crucible, whether it be 6s, 3s, or Rumble, the results are the same everywhere. Stickies are a problem.
With that being said, as much as it pains me to say it, because I loathe the bs deaths that these things cause, they are not needing a nerf. Players gravitated towards them because of the special changes, just like players gravitate every fn time something gets nerfed, because we are human and we adapt to the most efficient tools to do the job, in this case stickies replaced fusion rifles and shotguns (and snipers for those amazing at tossing these things) within the meta. The only fix to return them to normal levels at this point is to return the special economy back to pre patch levels (shotties too, but one can only dream)
Until then, I believe most of my crucible days are probably over. I'm just tired of these grenades and the bs deaths that I've been dealing with because of them. Nothing else has made me rage more than these fn grenades.

I was commenting to someone else and my thought is, if you ask people when PVP was the best, the answer will be year one most of the time. So what was different then? 1) No Trials 2) Unlimited special ammo 3) Great primaries being great

Well put
