Firstly- no, I am not advocating for a return to D2Y1, but this is just the complete opposite side of the scale. Instead of only primaries, there's (practically) only specials. There is a middle ground that can be achieved. I don't play too much PvE, so I don't have too much of an opinion on that. This is a PvP post. Now that that is out of the way, I can start spewing out my hot takes. 2 shots at the beginning of every round, 2 shots after every death, and (considering most people use at least one scav perk), 2 shots on every kill. It's extreme, especially if you consider all 3 billion Revokers in every lobby. I digress though, that's an issue of its own. Every time I play this game, I'm reminded of an intense sense of irony. I'm shot primarily by special weapons, and primaries are only used in the special situation that my opponent is either: cleaning up a bullet of special ammo, or they're out of special ammo. How is it common that I can go for multiple games in a row, full of deaths, where I don't die to a primary unless it's cleaning up a special shot. How is it possible in general to lose matches where I don't even get shot once by primaries. Rhetorical questions, both with the answer that there's too much special, and special is too easy to use (please fix flinch). It's not uncommon where I feel like I reward my opponent when I kill them. People are so reliant on one-hitting with their special that when they're forced into a primary fight, they're just useless. So, I kill them, and they go back to being a threat. Some proposed solutions: Special Ammo will only drop on a kill where all damage was dealt by a primary. Edit: I forgot about abilities, it'd make sense to allow ability kills to drop special as well. Scavenger perks no longer have a function in the Crucible. You now only spawn in with one round of special. You cannot pick up special dropped by a teammate, instead, you can take a few seconds to dismantle the grounded ammo and prevent its future use. Feel free to mix and match for an actual solution. Edit: I've gotten a couple responses saying that a solution would be to buff primaries, but I don't see anything short of a TTK shift making a huge difference. Maybe I'm missing something? If you want primaries buffed, what would you like to see done with them?
