Graviton Lance is stupid
I was grinding iron banner last week trying to get to level 50 and I can't help but get extremely frustrated by how OP Graviton Lance is. I played against a team who, besides one guy using Tractor Cannon, were all using GL and there was absolutely nothing we could do. Bungie needs to learn how to even the playing field in PVP gun wise cause it's no fun when every person uses the same OP weapons.

Oh yeah, welcome to the world of you're forced to play Crucible if you want to get that new armor maxed out. Graviton Lance looks pretty pay to win from here, seeing as you can only get it through DLC. Just one of those mistakes the devs don't really care about.
-
Get up close, Lance sucks there... If you can't do that, then you don't really have a right to complain. You have summoned me.
-
While I understand the complaints... The easy answer is use the GL. If you continue to get messed up using the same gun they are using then the answer is that they are just better than you. It happens. There are loads better than me, but I still enjoy crucible.

3 RepliesAny gun can be countered, you just have to know how much damage you can take from the GL. I am working on Jade Rabbits Catalyst right now and I not having a lot of trouble beating out GL. And when I use my GL, I am destroying everything. I watched a clan mate KD raise from .9 to over 1.1 just over the last couple of weeks because he switched to it.

Op is upset cause he/she is unable to counter the weapon. As I told another Guardian. There is a box of tissue in the room down the hall. The lights don't work. You must enter the room barefoot. And the floor is covered with Legos.

Nah, I thought it was fun after they buffed it. That's how exotic guns should peform. If not, why even have them in the game at all?

Honestly it reminds me of the MIDA meta earlier in the games life. I get that those want variety, but coming from Halo I’m pretty used to having to outshoot someone with the same weapon. In fact, I love this idea at its core. It takes the randomness out of the game and forces you to out strafe and out shoot your opponent. Granted the GL is brain dead compared to a BR’s spread or CE pistol bullet lag, so that’s where the fun drops off. If the meta was a more skillful gun and one that’s more fun to use it’d be fine. The problem isn’t that there is a meta, but the gun that is the meta.

Get masterworked Crimson, it brings the pain.

2 RepliesGL isn't the only OP gun. Counter GL with Vigilance or get close and use Crimson.

4 RepliesGraviton Lance is not stupid, it's fun, it's an exotic weapon that has use. That being said, and I've posted this over and over again since D1, they need to separate weapon balancing between PVP and PVE. They can do this with armor, look at the Dunemarchers for instance and their stat changes between PVP and PVE. You ask for evening of the playing field and there is nothing wrong with that, however because of this D2's weapon system in the beginning and right now with the static rolls is what we got after D1. Bungie's bad attempt at trying to balance PVP and it has killed the player base. Just wait until Forsaken and random rolls come around. You think GL is a problem now, wait for when a perfectly rolled "Palindrome" or "Eyasluna" type weapon comes around and the posts to nerf those start popping up. People need to get Bungie to separate weapon balancing, pure and simple. I'm willing to bet that Bungie listens less to these "nerf that" kind of posts now and even after Forsaken drops. People want random rolls and stronger exotics, because honestly Destiny is primarily a PVE game. If weapons are not fun and powerful in PVE less people are going to play or be interested and that is what has happened to D2 up until now and Bungie knows that.

1 ReplyHere we go again...another crucible crybaby complaining and trying to get an even playing field. I have had both good and bad luck against the GL in crucible. I have used the VW, Mida and other pulse rifles. My success has been how well I adapt to my enemies gameplay. Stop running in with you head extended, bob and weave, jump around, or just get close with a shotty. Life is not an even playing field, why should a game be. You observe, learn and adapt.

I just don’t like that it’s every where. Nobody was using it when it sucked, now it’s everyone’s favorite. Goes to show you it’s more about the gun then actual skill.

Lol got another crusibaby 🤣 Lol pvp in any year

11 RepliesOh God please stop crying. Graviton Lance is a perfect weapon for PVE. Crowdcontrol is super easy with that beast. It’s perfect for my Warlock Voidwalker with Nezareks sin to fill my super very quickly. I don’t like PvP and really don’t care about it, but if you Cry for a nerf, it‘ll affect my PVE experience. That‘s the major problem since D1 year 1. Guys like you ruin our game we have to share although you like PvP and I prefer PVE. So I would suggest, BUFF other (atm useless) weapons instead of nerfing everything. Diversity will come back when other exotics are enjoyable again. tl:dr: Make Destiny great again! BUFF instead of NERF.

If we had random rolls with the current legendaries that are out there, there would be no meta in D2.
-
It's not that bad. Not even a problem.

1 ReplyDon't see th big deal personally, see a lot of them but never really notice getting killed by it a lot, yeah it's strong but I'd rather that than shoot everyone with potato guns.
-
Graviton Lance is one of the best things they've done in PvP… ever.
-
You're just embarrassing yourself. Go play Fortnite or something.
-
5 RepliesAh, I remember comments like these which caused the D1 nerf cycle, which lead to the atrocious standard of weapons in D2 at launch. You are bad for this game. You and people like you nearly tanked it. Begone.

14 RepliesNot as stupid as the people who complain about it.

14 RepliesIf GL is so OP, then why can’t you use it yourself?

10 RepliesI believe that people complain about guns being Op when they are not good enough players to beat other players. I always hear about how Op this weapon is or that weapon and find it funny that half the time I don't use those weapons and beat them all the time. I'm an average player usually 16 to 23 kill average and always a positive k/d. But there are plenty of weapons that beat the graviton Lance. First hit headshots and staff to avoid being shot. There's plenty of times when I was using the lance and was beat. Every good weapon has its down side. The Lance is best at long range and bad at close range. Get into a close quarter fight and get killed quick by a good smg player. You have to learn how to utilize your weapons and figure out how to readjust your play style to beat your opponents. For some players the lance is probably just way too slow firing for some is probably just right.
