Buffs and change to Handcannon archetypes.
Nerfs to Sniper - likely affecting Console snipers disproportionately.
Some partial backpedalling on 600rpm autos.
More nerfs to Pinnacle weapons.
And yet no mention whatsoever of the statistical overuse of Shotgun, it's archetype breaking perks, special ammo economy allowing unrestricted use, the decimation of the Special competition: legendary fusions and now sniper.
Once more the unaddressed elephant in the room
: Shotgun overuse.

Destiny has been all about hand cannons and shotguns for years. Look at the maps. All the D2 created maps favor shotguns, hand cannons and close combat. So, I would not expect to see a whole lot of changes in that area. Bungie is obsessed with those to archetypes for some weird reason.
