I recall that the biggest problem with Late D1 was the fact that abilities were much stronger than the weapons. Instead of having the weapons buffed Bungie decided to nerf the subclasses to the ground (relatively speaking) and on top of that even dare to nerf weapon's damage output.
Now when I look at the threads here on Bungie I see no one mentioning this. How? This is the BIGGEST nerf Bungie has ever put out yet I hear zero streamers complain about it. The amount of skill it takes to win a fight has been reduced so much... even when looking at the completely garbage ability-meta that Destiny Year 3 was. How is this possible? What the -blam!- is going on here?
I must admit that I can't care less any more. I mean, I fell into the trap of thinking Destiny had potential with a developer like Bungie backing it, so I understand that I once was delusional. The problem is though that it would only be natural more people saw through this non-sense balance as well. I roam these forums seeing threads almost complaining about a "44 damage" headshotting MIDA Multitool. This is absolute blasphemy. It's ludicrous.
Please let me know if I am being absolutely delusional or that Bungie has actually pulled a 10/10 Houdini trick on us. Just kidding, you don't have to tell me. It's blatantly obvious they have. I don't think any statistic could disagree with this, regardless of how it's being interpreted.
I still would like to see people having ludacrous opinions ranting against this. Have a go <3

I enjoy the game so far. I definitely won't be playing through content gaps like I did in D1.
