ITT: People being butthurt because their favorite gun gets changed, boo-hoo-hoo. Did you not read the post? People are using hand cannons for things they were not intended to do. You were not supposed to use a hand cannon as a replacement for a sniper. Did you ever go into crucible as a non hand cannon player and dual a hand cannon with your sniper? It's ridiculous. I have to admit, that, yes, it is a bit of a bummer if you have to change your playing style. But if you can not deal with the change then you just suck as a player. Now that being said I have one single (ONE) kill logged with hand cannons, so my experience is just that. I have not found a good one to use yet, unfortunately. But even I understand that if it is more difficult to kill people in the distance with your hand cannon, than that means that weapon is not supposed to be used for killing distant targets. That is what you have scout rifles or sniper rifles for. tl;dr People want change but not as long as it makes the game more difficult for them. Stop whining and deal with the change. If you really like the gun you are still going to use it. The worst thing that can happen is you get better at other weapon types in the process.
