TL;DR: If you use the word "adapt" when it comes to weapon balance, you're most likely ignorant to what weapon balance is and should stop saying it.
Whenever I see some use the word "adapt" when it comes to weapon balance, I automatically disregard anything else that person has to say. I can't help it.
"Adapting" has nothing to do with balance and it's an incredibly ignorant argument. It's shows that, instead of actually making any points against something being OP, the person dumps any responsibility on people that make the original criticism.
It's lazy, it's boring and down right lame.
Back during the days of TLW vs Thorn, I heard this "argument" every single post even thought everyone knows how unbalanced it was; why? Because it's soooo much easier to just say that the person making the argument can't adapt, that they are scrubs.
No matter how OP something is, there is always someone spewing out the word "adapt" and that just exudes ignorance.
If you think Firebolts are OP adapt!
If you think Snipers are OP adapt!
If you think Hunters, Wombo Combos, Mida, TLW, Skip Grenades or anything is OP, well, just adapt!!!
See what I mean?
So please, next time you feel like telling someone to adapt, think about how you want others to perceive you; because you most likely are making yourself look foolish.
Edit: Ok, this is just stupid. The amount of people commenting without even reading the first sentence of my post is beyond ridiculous. I understand not wanted to read a wall of text sometimes, but this post proves that the vast majority of people on this site are children that can't read well. These are the people yelling at Bungie all the time. Idiots.

5 RepliesFalse. Were you here when the Vex Mythoclast had a 56 clip and could kill 6 or 7 guardians without reloading? That's when nerfs started. The Vex was claerly OP, it was like walking around with a machine gun all the game.

1 ReplyI hear you....when they have 6 Snipers camping 2 zones I adapt by not engaging.....we should sit there until the timer runs out....that's adapting. Adapting sucks....it slows down and ruins the game. They need to adjust the sniper mechanics or bump the damage done by Primary weapons so snipers will be afraid of taking a couple of head shots. As far as grenades.....except for the tracking being a little OP, they are grenades....they should kill you.

1 ReplyTwo shot head shot from cross map with thorn back in the old days... Explain how I can adapt to that without using the same op weapon everyone else was using.

I was playing the long Mao with the big can't remember it's name. For 3 minutes everyone was just campaigning the dang spawns sniping until I rushed with a shotgun.

12 RepliesThe only things that are or have been op in this game are striker Titans, thorn(year 1),and Firebolt Viking funeral combo because there is no way to adapt to these things

OG vex, OG suros, 2 shot thorn, 2 shot last word, old blink shotgun. That's about it (not counting supers lol)

2 RepliesSo if I have an auto rifle that kills in 1 hit, thats pretty OP right? No? Just adapt.

8 RepliesYup, you do need to adapt. Example, I got sick of snipers, after 8 months. Picked up a fusion and am adapting people's asses in IB this week :) I've been "adapting" for a month and a half now. Haven't been sniped in days. How? I know the lanes and how they think, so I "adapted" my approach and map movement. But then again, I am ignorant of other people in general :)

So.. what I gather is that.. [spoiler]We should nerf adaptation. 👍[/spoiler]

1 ReplyPre nerf vex was op.

9 RepliesEdited by --KNIGHT--: 4/2/2016 9:11:57 AM[quote]there has never been an OP weapon[/quote] Where you around when thorn could two shot kill? The only way people could adapt is by using the same weapon. Most people couldn't adapt because they didn't have thorn.

4 RepliesThorn was absolutely OP. It's good where it's at now.

Crucible is extremely boring right now, hell it even made me stop playing it. I really like this game, but the PvE content has become "work" instead of "fun", crucible should be renamed to "Sniper PVP", and the rewards are rarely worth it. This is why I've "quit" Destiny. I will come back, but when I don't know. This new update doesn't seem to be enough to drag me back in to destiny as of yet sadly. It's a game that has my interests tho and I will stick around. Breaks in these kinda games are often a good thing to have tho.

Gjallarhorn. Gjallarhorn was clearly OP. It's a tracking rocket that launches other, smaller tracking rockets.

I agree that part u said "adapt" but i disagree with that those are not realy OP, everything els is just nerfed to the ground, so we need to make those bad weapons/abilitys good again to compensate, not to keep nerfing everything that is still viable, cos soon PvP in this game is pillow fights...
-
I understand what you are saying and I also agree for the most part, but some of those people saying to "just adapt" are the people who really enjoy using those weapons. I agree that there were and still are some overpowered weapons, but I feel like we sometimes have to go through those times when a certain weapon or certain archetype is overpowered in order to get them balanced.
-
I went off about this on a previous page. Well said

8 RepliesI just want to say when it comes to weapons they are not op. When ppl are playing trials or ib and are trying to win the game and ppl complain about a weapon being op I instantly think your bad. Get a better shot or use what u think is op and stop complaining. Anyone that still plays this game has those weapons for the most part so stop bitching. When it comes to playing against certain sub classes u do have to adapt

Apparently nobody reads lol
