I'm sorry, there's one important thing that informs this entire post, and it's rather inaccurate. I haven't really read much because I've noticed your graph, and as a statistical person myself, there's a HUGE problem with the data you've presented. It's cherry picked. I'll go back and read the whole thing after this and edit my post, but I want to deal with the graphs first. For the same reason that Destiny 2's PVP will be tracking "efficiency" rather than "K/D ratio", your graphs are inaccurate to the issue at hand. The data that you have acquired is cherry picked in that it supports your hypothesis but does not venture into the fullness of the debate. There is no understanding of damage totals, no seperation of add-only encounters from boss encounters (a key difference as players normally save heavy ammo in the former for use in the latter), and no observation of critical moments in these different activities. It also fails to take into account that there are very low numbers of bosses and sub-bosses (even though we often put a lot of heavy and special weapon damage into them) and they will each only count as 1 kill for 1 player, rather than each player getting that kill, and damaging a boss is a CRITICAL factor in many activities. As such, the graphs you have presented are not indicative of the argument as a whole. I will also say, personally, I am looking forward to the D2 gun system. But misleading graphs are still misleading. [b]Edit:[/b] Alright, here's my observations first. OP makes a lot of inferences and conclusions based on no evidence, but rather, conjecture and personal experience. In most of the paragraphs (and I'll give kudos for actually having proper paragraphs, a rare enough occurence online) after the individual activity graphs, there is no actual evidence presented. For instance, the assertion that people sit on their heavy and special until larger enemies require larger ammo is only one of many used playstyles. The assertion that in Destiny 2 the fights are more dynamic and we have more choices is inaccurate as well; the dynamic nature depends on playstyle options (which thankfully is still possible thanks to sidearms and SMGs being included in the "primary" slots) and we still only have 3 choices of weapon. This does not make it more dynamic, but rather it is likely a similar dynamic with a different feel. Now, for some counter-observations. Of course there would be a tendency to sit on our higher damaging weapons until we need to damage enemies with higher health. There are fewer, but they are a higher priority. However, this does not take into account the fact that there are multiple playstyles that REFUSE to cohere to this rule. For instance, many people who run with scout or sniper rifles for boss damage run with swords for adds. Many people like to run with shotguns to get up close and personal with adds, using a different playstyle than those with snipers. I'd also observe that this dynamic is still possible (as you can use an energy scout for bosses, but run a sword and handcannon for most adds). OP is very logical and very concise, however he is very biased and does not present a full picture of the functionality or statistics of the situation. I would be very interested to see what kind of post OP would make with more information and less biase, but for now I must conclude that OP is inaccurate. Let me finish by saying, once again, that I am looking forward to Destiny 2 and trying the weapon system. But I do also understand that for this shift in playstyle, we are not more free in our choices, we simply have different choices to make. We still only choose 3 weapons, and where we would have 2 that were only limited to 4 choices, we are now thankfully given 6 between them. [b]Edit Again:[/b] An observation I forgot to include; the data in Destiny 2 for kinetic and energy weapons will likely split the percentages for the primary usage in Destiny 1. This, however, would still not be indicative of a great overall change, as they are essentially the same kind of weapon for that category. This would only indicate a change in weapons system, not a change in the overall dynamic of the game. In other words, it wouldn't actually fix things. Certainly we will be using two weapons in one category rather than one, but once again that only changes ammo count, not playstyle.
