Special LFRs have dominated for an absurd amount of time and are the most broken weapons in crucible. The reality is when you are in a situation with one your ttk has to be lower than the charge time because they
1. Cannot be flinched under any normal circumstances, below is a clip of myself using a messenger with high cal and kill clip up getting nailed through what is probably some of the highest flinch application possible. There is literally no counter to it. I would have to smack the man IRL to have any chance of him missing.

2. Have so much aim assist that its difficult to miss, it seems when bungie nerfed sniper aim assist with beyond light they neglected to hit special LFRs with the same nerf. You can slide, dodge, thrust icarus dash and get clipped anywhere near the torso up with a special LFR and its a headshot, the incredibly low magnification actually makes the weapon more and more lenient the further away you are.
Now I’m not talking about the 0.6kd SBMM loving ‘players’ that will race out to say ‘I miss and get flinched all the time with special LFRs’ running around crucible with falling star and double thermoshock plating mods on. Im talking about players that are actually trying to compete at a high standard, combining them with cheese like kepris and gyrfalcon, there is virtually no counter to them.
Its insane that 2 weapons so broken have just been left alone for so long, lord of wolves was in the same boat, it was so broken for so long before it was finally nerfed, this shouldn’t persist for years, it should be over nerfed and brought back up like Lord of Wolves currently is, 2 or 3 exotics shouldn’t run rampant dictating that you essentially win or loose based on how hard you decide to follow the extreme high end meta.
The team currently running crucible has beyond no idea how to fix things in a timely manner and is the reason crucible numbers have declined so rapidly and so drastically that bungie have had to almost throw away SBMM because they’ve killed the population off so badly. Crucible shouldn’t roll from 1 insufferable meta each season to the next, we need fortnightly balance updates to cut the cheese off at the source, not now have to endure the rest of the season with gyrfalcons/kepris, 2 special LFRs, forerunner and sidearms just annihilating any team that doesn’t use them.

Healthy green grass is so satisfying to look at though.

Broken yes kind of but they're not dominating, not from what I've seen, not since the season lorentz came out. Lorentz flinches to the -blam!- sky when hit too.
-
That's how stupid they are
-
7 RepliesInstead bungie just added another sniper with more aim assist lol… -blam!- joke of a company
-
7 RepliesIt’s also annoying how warlocks have to switch to titan, or hunter in order to not be at a disadvantage in PVP. During my last few matches almost half of the players were invisible hunters. I eventually had to switch over to my gyrfalcon hunter, and the games became way easier.

2 RepliesDeal with it, next season another meta will be hot besides lfr, just like woman, they will be always after the next Best thing.

3 RepliesIt's funny how LFRs have crazy aim assist and next to no flinch so they nerf snipers and buff sidearms
-
3 RepliesJust make them heavy weapons. Special ammo linears were a -blam!- idea to begin with.
-
Forerunner and Drangs are a thing now. There are more sidearms than lfr in pvp and trials. Every team I came across have sidearms cuz of the recent buff.

3 RepliesOP crying about lorenz and arby but has wormhusk with invs

What if it’s the dry season and you’re watering your grass so the fire doesn’t spread? Checkmate 😎

1 ReplyLoving all the sidearms that are suddenly being used because of a buff they didn't need.
-
I think snipers were much more oppressive than LFRs, but it would have been nice to have nerfed both at the same time
-
5 RepliesDisable Lorentz and Arbalest in the Crucible, forever.
-
4 RepliesThese type of weapons should be in the Heavy slot. They do nothing but diminish any sort of enjoyment one may have in the Crucible. When opponents run around with LFRs and Sniper barrels, teammates start hiding, slowing the match down even further. Time to throw some salt on the 🐌 because this meta is boring.

6 RepliesEdited by Quiet_Bushi: 10/28/2022 7:54:33 AMHey Guardian. Players who have been playing Destiny for a long time now know too well that Bungie has always strugled when is about PvP balancing and fix broken stuff in reasonable times [i](Weapons, Subclasses, Abilities, Exotics ecc)[/i]. This has happened since D1 with The Last Word and Thorn. I know: back then the game was still kinda "new" and maybe we could forgive Bungie, but why this is still happening? I believe noone has actually an answer. It is just what it is and as it is happening now it will continue to happen also in the future. For now we can just wait Season 19 when Arbalest and Lorentz will be nerfed. But anyway after that something else will be broken and will dominate the scenario for who kwnos how long =/

4 Replies[quote]wahh Bungie, put in the meta that I want, who cares what anyone else wants [/quote] That is all I hear from PvP players these days
-
That clip really sums it up lol
-
Lol'd at would have to smack the man in real time
-
2 RepliesThere has to be something wrong with the guts of the gun or something because the actual AA value the guns have is pretty low for it to still behave the way it does but yeah completely agree here.
-
I totally agree with you . if in addition we add to the LFR the forunner .. This weekend was an atrocious experience. Rather than doing a progressive nerf to the snipers, they directly destroyed the weapon in favor of 3 unfortunate weapons.
-
2 RepliesThe current group at Bungie is lost. They clearly have no answers and after years of PvP being awful it might be time to bring in real talent and leadership.
-
3 RepliesThat video clip looked like 99.5% of my Trials experience this last weekend. I think I'm going to go sit in a hot shower with my clothes on now.
-
3 RepliesI think they are overused in activities outside of pvp as well especially for boss dps.
