Please, nerf them to the ground.
I do not want another entire season that revolves around 95% of people just using hand cannons. Give some other primary a chance.
I am tired of being killed by them, and tired of having to use them.

The top players will [i]always[/i] gravitate towards them because they can peek shoot, do combos and, together with a shotgun or sniper, cover a lot of engagement distance. It is not a power problem, it is an almost unavoidable PvP mainstay. You could nerf them to the point where there is no option but to abandon them, sure, but you’d lose an entire weapon class while the best Crucible players would dominate with something else. The weapon meta itself is actually very well balanced at the moment with plenty of competitive loadouts. Hand cannons just rise to the top due to how they deliver damage.
