What exactly is "Balanced and Fun" in D2 to you?

I'm genuinely curious. With D1, the shotgun meta at least allowed me to become a better sniper. The sidearm meta, where sidearms were effectively more powerful than primaries, broke the game. Stickies, melee range... all that. It just became unfun because there was no way to play around it. My opinion: D2's PvP is far more balanced. Say what you will about the MIDA and auto rifles, if you play around them, then you're fine. But, no one should be off on their own trying to take down an entire team by themselves. It wouldnt work in real life, certainly wouldnt/shouldnt work here. If I'm personally going to criticize, I'll throw in a suggestion on how to make it better. For instance, Warlocks have rifts, Titans have Walls, Hunters have... nothing. Nada. The dodge? Dodge what? The first barrage of bullets only to die 1 second later?--- Bummin'. I've shot stormcallers near-point-blank with Goldie, only to be electrocuted to death in the next instant. Arcstrider suffers the same way Blades did in D1. Just a glass-class that's easy to destroy. My question is sincere. To all the people griping, this is how nerfs start. Then, it'll be broken, and you'll complain harder and harsher. So... What exactly does "balanced" mean to you in PvP? As a former game dev, I am honestly curious.

  • Fun is not having to use a gun for every single instance. Fun is the ability to customize your character to use space magic. But Destiny does not have this. Ill take a harder to balance game thats fun(ie:abilities) over a "balanced game" where everyone just shoots midas around corners.

  • Grenades are much better. Fusions and hit round corner types (arc/flame) Sad about fixed rolls though. I wanted the mod system to play a larger part

  • Reduce the range of Uriel’s Gift archetype autos across the board. Just honestly tired of “working around” having to pop around corners constantly to fight said autos at a questionably long range. Honestly, MIDA doesn’t bother me at all there are plenty of alternatives that you can duel it with. Supers for hunters are a little lackluster IMO but Bungie can only think creatively so hard. PvE is fun at first but then gets repetitive but I guess that’s what DLCs are for so I can’t wait for those. Overall, game is enjoyable for a while, but as time goes on it gets stale. Love the franchise and am hopeful that the game stays rather balanced in the PvP department(cuz dats muh fav).

    • Well, knowing there is no such thing as balance in a loot base system, ill have to say nothing. It's more like, what's fun to use at this point and who is going to complain about it until it gets nerfed to the ground.

      • Balanced was the pre nerf storm d1 pvp. There were 30 different things that were "over powered" at once but in reality nothing was (except for the OG vex mytho) Once the nerf storm started we just bounced from shit meta to shit meta because the unbalanced an already balanced game and never got it right again

        • Balanced is when I can pick up any weapon type/model and still hold my own in pve. Please stop killing this game with your pvp garbage.

          • D2's pvp is more balanced? Aside from longer cooldowns, this pvp is exactly the same as vanilla destiny pvp. Autos are supreme and MIDA is the new Suros regime

            • HoW meta was fun for me, partly because guns killed super quickly, but mostly because we were powerful. I didn’t need another player to take out two people, because I knew that if I aimed correctly I could probably take them out. Now all that is gone, and I miss it. I never even used thorn, I was a red death fan and it still was amazing.

            • I think you're right on the balance bit for PvP here in D2. I feel like the guns this time around do a good job of "sticking to their range." Scout rifles easily beat autos in range, autos do pretty good all around, but lose out to submachine guns at close range. I personally don't really use hang cannons and pulse rifles, as I can't quite figure out the best ranges to use them. But gun wise, I feel like it's in a good spot right now. Class wise...the hunters do have some pretty crappy abilities in comparison, but may possibly make up for it with exotic armor. They have some reeeeeally good gear for PvP (ie foetracker)
