You see, the problem isn't special weapons. It's primaries
Back in HoW when Shottys had a shit ton more range, they were balanced.
Back in HoW snipers were balanced too.
Why were they balanced? Because primaries were strong
In year 1, if you missed your headshot, you were punished by thorn or messenger cross-map.
Nowadays, you have time to QuickDraw your primary, or just shoot another bodyshot.
With a shotgun, you couldn't just warrior good players because you'd get melted by TLW.
Nowadays, their TLW doesn't even register half the time so you just run straight at them.
The meta is dominated by grenades and special
Instead of nerfing snipers and shotguns.
Instead of nerfing Mida and TLW and Hawksaw
Why don't we BUFF primaries!
And to those who didn't think Thorn took skill, were wrong.
Nowadays, hand cannon fights are whoever has better hit registration. Gunfights now are more focused on making sure your shots hit the target, rather than aiming for precision shots.
Year 1 thorn: whoever could aim better and get the two headshots.
Year 2 thorn: spam bodyshots, hoping they connect, and let the recoil give you the 1 headshot necessary for a 3-tap.
Well, sorry for this long ass essay.

Higher time to kill drops the skill gap, it's now an ammo issue [u]not[/u] a special issue.

This guy -blam!-ing gets it! I want autos back to vanilla state, legendary hand cannons to have higher base stats, scouts to stay the same, and pulses to be good!
-
Is this make primaries great again or make handcannons great again?
-
Primaries. Handcannons were just an example. Although, auto rifles will always be outclassed by HC's, which sucks, but it's true.

This man speaks the truth

The guys who developed HoW are in charge of Rise of Iron from which I've heard. So that means better weapon testing and better metas. The guys in charge currently need to be remployeed to people who know the game.

amen to this brotha

HoW was amazing. Buffing primaries would go some ways into solving the problem. I think they also need to make snipers descope on hit. No reason why someone should be able to just sit there and hardscope all day and nail headshots or body shots just because they can. I think itd be a simple change that wouldnt affect good snipers.
-
I agree to buffing primary's. But thorn didn't take skill.
-
Not saying using thorn took a lot of skill. I'm just saying hand cannon battles (except for last word glitch and hawk moon) were more skillful in Y1 Year 2 gunfights doesn't require headshots. You just have to hope your bullets register
-
in a thorn v thorn setting which was mar-aug 2015 the more skilled player won every duel. lol
-
Plus you can reroll weapons? You can have an op weapon of any kind!!
-
Primaries weren't strong altogether though. A few op primaries like thorn and last word were broken, and that is it.
-
What? I mean everything but autorifle were amazing.
-
You, sir, should have a double working at Bungie. You get it. They clearly do not.
-
Thorn took skill? Right. Let me just shoot you twice, and run away like a coward. Such skill.
-
At least my shots went where I put them, so if I could two tap better than the other person I won a gunfight Versus now, where hand cannon battles are decided by rng hit detection. And don't tell me it's "bloom" and I have to pace my shots. TripleWreck just did a test stream showing hand cannon's shitty accuracy even on initial shot
