Can people stop hating on NLB and Sidearm, please?

Ever since the recent update came out, I've had a vast increase in the number of rage messages from players. I've been a dedicated NLB since it was first brought forward to year values back in December 2015. I have religiously used NLB and swapped between using a fusion rifle or sidearm. Yes, I used fusion rifles before the April update, 2016. However I see all these players moaning about NLB now even though these... people... would have shit on NLBs in the past. It's always had unflinching, it's always been able to shoot back when you're under fire. It doesn't really have much else going for it so as soon as you take that away, it's going to be a bog standard sniper that goes into your primary slot. If the Universal Remote is still able to get precision hits then NLB should retain unflinching. Sidearms, I agree, need to brought inline with other special weapons but they should still get ammo from the reserve ammo intrinsic perk that all sidearms have. I think that the reserve ammo perk should be made obtainable on all special weapons and not just sidearms. However they don't need a nerf. Again Bungie, this is a fine example of that people won't use what you want them to (primaries) but they will use whatever they feel like they are forced into and is effective. Seeming though the ammo economy of sidearms remained unchanged and NLB is one of the best primary counters in the game, that's why usage has spiked. Also, shout out to all my Beyonder brethren out there!

  • Honestly people who use this load out shouldn't get hate (I may be biased since Ive been using max aa snipers and TLW since year 1) but it is frustrating being killed by side arms faster than the last word but that's because I probably got outplayed and probably missed shots. The overall message is DON'T HATE THE PLAYERS HATE BUNGIE
