1. Fusion rifles are fine....for the first time in a long time. 2. If you keep getting killed over and over by the same weapon? Its not the weapon...its you. You keep trying to use an INEFFECTIVE strategy in dealing with them, and you refuse to change and adapt. You are trying to pound a square peg, into a round hole...and trying to claim the round hole is the problem. 3. Fusion rifles fill an essential role in keeping snipers, shotguns and team shooting in check, since Bungie insists on keeping primary weapons underpowered. So the people who constantly complain about them are generally resentful because fusion rifles counter their preferred play style.....or they are hand cannon users who just refuse to accept that they are not supposed to win a mid-range fight with someone using a high-impact FR. So they keep wading into fights where they are at a disadvantage, and just keep getting mad when they predictably lose.
