I voted this iron banner to be worse than the previous iron banners, but the reason why is because crucible in general is absolutely broken. Pulse rifles are by far the go to weapon since autorifles and hand cannons have been nerfed into the ground with the exception of hawkmoon which is still good. Scout rifles are a distant second but still good in capable hands. In year 2 supers seem to be charging way too fast, and the heavy AOE of our new supers combined with the typically small maps with small corridors makes for easy kills. The rampant glitching is typical but this particular batch is very potent. Matchmaking is terrible, I usually play solo and get matched with other solo players, the enemy team is regularly 3-4 man fireteams +2, and even when teams are broken up the general lack of interest in this event makes pairing up against the last group who absolutely rekt me the last game is back quite often. The gear is absolutely beautiful (like always) but the attack/ defense values are useless. 280 does nothing for players looking for gear they can take into a raid. the random drops from what I have seen are way too infrequent, and other than the ship nothing drops that the vendor is not selling (when previously you could find something he wasnt selling ie. timurs lash, jolders hammer etc. in an off cycle drop) TL;DR better map variety needed, needs better level gear, more drops, weapons and supers need rebalancing (AGAIN)
