Everyone knows stasis is a pain to deal with in PvP, and the best option would be to remove it from PvP. However, given how Bungie puts their wallet over the quality of the game, they want stasis to be oppressive in PvP so that the free-to-plays have to buy Beyond Light to compete. Given that stasis is not going anywhere in PvP, how about we nerf the most prominent(and, consequently, easiest to use) stasis class: the Revenant.
As a console player, Hunters are already a pain to deal with since they have the ability to win just about any close-range gunfight with a dodge that refreshes every 20-30 seconds. Don’t worry, I’m not saying the dodge needs nerfed, but add in the two ranged shurikens that not only slow you, but manage to hit you almost every time because of tracking, and now it’s almost impossible to win a close-range gunfight against a Hunter with their abilities up. Now add in the most safe and braindead super in the game and the recently un-nerfed grenades(only for hunter, might I add :/ ), and now you have a class that any little Timmy with no thumbs can get on and stomp people he shouldn’t be beating.
Of course there’s always gonna be a meta with the best subclasses, but if quite possibly the best subclass in the game(Chaos reach) is completely overshadowed by the sheer prevalence of Revenant’s, then there’s a problem. The “best”subclass in the game isn’t always gonna be the most overpowered. There are plenty of classes that are just as powerful, if not more, than the Revenant in terms of sheer kill power and oppressiveness(Chaos Reach and Behemoth to name a couple). The problem is that unlike other Metas, players in this game don’t always go for the statistical “best” option. Most people in this game go for the easiest option, which means picking a class with 2 tracking melee charges and a cast-and-forget super over picking a class with a super that can be cast 2-3 times a game or a super that can effortlessly wipe a team in a round.
Revenant needs nerfed not because it is the most powerful, but because it is quite possibly the easiest subclass to use and impactful enough to carry bad players through gunfights they shouldn’t be winning.
I know the 5 million people who main Revenant are gonna spam dislike this, but maybe, just maybe, try another subclass. You might figure out that you have more potential with the other classes, and might even learn to aim at a target that isn’t slowed/frozen.
