loot based games mean people aren't supposed to have the exact same sht and aren't supposed to be even. The higher tier the content the better the gear is SUPPOSED to be IB is mid tier at best trials is top tier for pvp (whether people like that or not) by all right blind perdition SHOULD be better than clever dragon because it is from a higher tier activity. In destiny 2 rolls from vendors should be rng not pure rng but random enough so people can have easy access to guaranteed weapon rolls. You want good weapons? do the hardest content you wanna take a short cut results may vary... there is far too many occurrences where everyone or a large amount of people have the same sht on if I'm in a control match there shouldn't be 4 other people who have almost identical load-outs to me as far as primary/special/heavy. when the picks for what is "meta" only allow for less than 10 guns in any slot there is an imbalance and something needs to be addressed especially if the weapons that are in the "meta" are within 1-2 archetypes like only high impact sniper/shotties being the only specials seen regularly there is an issue where the other variants of that gun aren't viable so you have to decide whether to tone the prominent weapons down or beef up the weaker ones. The easiest thing to do would make perks like range find and rifled barrel not part of the perk pool for high impact shotties and remove low zoom scopes from high impact snipers. While allowing low impact shotties to keep rifled barrel and rangefinder and low impact sniper to have low zoom scopes. I will now wait for people to tell me how the weapons that are the obvious cause of imbalances aren't the issue and blame either bungie or bad players or tell me idk what I'm talking about.
