Trials Rant - Primary are Secondaries

EDIT: Angelic Pain's idea for special ammo which he/she commented is great. "Should get X ammo per weapon type and archetype for the entire match" (I personally think 8 for a match, and when you switch archetype you get 2 shots with the achetype you switch to. I mean, after using 8 sniper shots you wouldn't want people just switching out to a shotgun for another 8 shots.) ---- I love Trials of Osiris, I think the whole idea of it is fantastic and I love the competitiveness of it. It can be the most enjoyable thing in Destiny for me But it can also be the most aggravating thing I've ever experienced in gaming. Snipers. I can't believe how much people rely on special ammo these days. Its an absolute snipe/shotgun fest. If people aren't sniping, they're rushing you with shotguns. And with the ammo nerf, you can't switch from a sniper to a shotgun to counter it anymore. You can't make those strategic decisions and adapt to the opponents playstyle. I feel as though that weapon changing ammo nerf was totally unreasonable. I hate feeling like I'm better off hardscoping a corner with a sniper than trying to push through it with something like a Suros or at least hold it. I hate how god damn overpowered revives are. I like how important they are and how their ability to win games requires teamwork... But seriously.. Why can't a Titan smash take out a reviver and a revivee? I feel like them being immune for the first second is stupid. I personally think that the person doing the reviving shouldn't get a shield... It's just too much. It punishes the other team for making a move like any team should. The whole revive shield thing only promotes one shot kills with snipers and I hate it. I just want to play a game of Trials where primaries are actually PRIMARY. Like seriously... Imagine a serious game of Trials where nobody sniped. Weapons like Suros REGIME and most Pulse Rifles might actually see some use???

    Last time I played Trials, I rushed a guy using Red Spectre and a Sniper. I had a MIDA out and a Sniper as my secondary. I waited to land to start shooting, to make sure I was accurate. Everything seemed great. But even though I was in medium range and he clearly had the better weapon, this guy did the most amazingly crutch thing ever: He whipped out a sniper, primed me with a body, and only [i]then[/i] swapped back to his Primary to defeat me. I saw his character model swapping the guns and everything. It was at that moment I realized Bungie indeed had made all Primaries Special Weapons by fine-tuning their range too much. It was then that I also realized that we are in a Special Needs Meta. I was having good matchmaking these past few weeks, but now it's going straight back to garbage tryhards exploiting all the gimmicky shit. Probably because of the casuals realizing this game is still a nerfherding tryhard's playground. I hope I'm wrong about the matchmaking, at least.
