Counterbalance

The counterbalance changes were unnecessary Bungie, you're nerfing perks now what's next? Undo some of your nerfs, because they were unnecessary. There are plenty that can agree with me.

  • They nerfed all y1 perks pre-ttk. Nerfs are just what bungie does. By roi, our guns will fire rainbows and flowers.

    • People can say what they want and most people have their own opinion about nerfs, but I think this explains why some people don't like them. People don't like feeling like they are being penalized or having something taken away. If you put this kind of thought process on another product it becomes ludicrous. Take car manufacturers for example or just basically insert any other good or service. They say, well, we have one model of vehicle (perk or item) that is clearly more popular than the others, let's make it suck a little more so that other cars can compete. No-one does that, ever. If some of your perks or items in game are clearly better than the others, then you should be looking at how to make the sub-par more viable. Now I realize that they hide their nerf hammer behind the balance shield in order to justify their actions and some of the more logical people will defend them because they realize the need for balance. You are not wrong. We do need balance, but there is more than one way to skin any cat. Just think about losing cruise control or power steering on your vehicle in order for a crappier vehicle to compete with it everytime you see a nerf. It will change the way you look at them.

        • Another Nerf? Was counter balance even that dominant? Seriously, I've switched to only playing PvP due to PVE being dead till new content arrives. But I only see a few things wrong, [b]This Wasn't One Of Them At All[/b].

        • Yup bungies nerf method is horrible. havnt been on the forums much. ive come back to this game recently and now that ive read this post its made me realize why i stop playing.. They nerf everything. And there reason? To keep the game fresh..smh game doesn't feel fresh. They nerf shotguns so many times. Buff auto rifles nerf auto rifles. Nerf pulse rifles. Nerf hand cannons buff hand cannons. Nerf hunters . make hammer titan nerf hammer titan.. Nerf shot guns again..nerf fusion rifles.i hate the team at bungie and i wish i could get my money back from pre ordering rise of iron.they recently nerfed arminus and dop twice.im nkt a sniper user but damn why did they do that to snipers and make em feel heavy its annoying. Ionly use snipers in pve.i stopped striking and raiding because these guns feel like they do almost no damage and snipers feel pathetic. Not to mention ammo nerf. I hate u bungie f.u.c.k u If i would have seen the nerf patch before i pre order i wouldnt have pre ordered.i hate this development team so much . they dont nerf off stats they nerf off cry baby posts. I used to play destiny religiously but these nerfs are getting out of hand.

          • Barely noticed the nerf, 10% didnt really do much, maybe it's more evident on the doctrine and such, but otherwise I've seen no difference.

            I like how they said "The weapons recoil is its personality and counter balance takes that away." Have you ever tried firing the Fast as shit autos without counter balance? Even with steady aim and good control on the thumbstick, dat shiz goes to the moon and back. The Doctrine would've never been as popular as it is/was if counter balance could not be rolled in its perk set. So obviously they made a conscious decision to add CB to that gun type because they know those types of weapons are piss crazy. Same goes for some pulse rifles (especially Häkke) Damn, love the Heja-D but the hard left kick makes it darn near useless when you fight other pulses of the same archtype.

            • It's not the first time they've made what I call a pants on head retarded change to a perk that never needed a change to begin with. I will never forget how they butchered field scout and how it -blam!-ed some of my favorite weapons over.

              • Counterbalance was too godly compared to other perks. The tuning was well done by Bungie.

                    Dear Bungie, UNNERF Counterbalance and start making other perks better! It's so hard to get a good Counterbalance roll on your favorite gun because RNG and everything, but then they go and nerf it. Imagine waiting literally months for the Gunsmith to sell something with Counterbalance, and then you find out it was nerfed all of a sudden because it was "too popular". Completely ridiculous Literally zero people before June ever complained about Counterbalance. Bungie would rather fix things that aren't broken than the stuff that IS.

                  • Yea I'm going to complain. That was the whole point of counterbalance and now the recoil pattern is bad. 90% reduced recoil was just fine.

                    • It's fine. Counterbalance isn't all it's cracked up to be. I like it on Haakon's, it made Nirwen's unusable for me. Persistence feels better on my Soulstealers but counterbalance is perfect on my Does Not Bow.

                      Nope Learn how to manage your recoil. [spoiler]The only unnecessary nerf that has happened recently was the Throwing Knife/Tripmine nerf. I got over it and learned how to adapt, so can you[/spoiler]

                    • When the gun is maybe shifting couple of extra pixels to the left or right with recoil, you know it isn't a major nerf lol

                      I've tested this. The difference is almost unnoticeable. It's almost as if it was only changed by 10℅... Hardly worth complaining about.
