The state of Bows (all archetypes) in PVP

Hi Ced318, I've noticed that sliding around corners HC, Pulse, and Scouts are able to 2 tap in the crucible (HC sometimes 1!). Bows should go back to functioning at The Forsaken Sandbox. It currently takes bows 4-6 body shots to kill a guardian in PVP at 500-600 draw time and this is absolutely unacceptable if I'm shooting from behind. Even more so in close quarters because most encounters don't get a second bow shot. 1 crit 1 body should be what it takes to kill a guardian. The bow shot displacement is also ludicrous while the sandbox is trying to decide whether to give me a crit or not. Also the weapon stat buff do not apply to bows. 120 to MAYBE 125 at over 130+ weapon stat is nothing compared to other weapon archetypes in PVP. Bring bows back to Forsaken era and nerf the weapon swap of Bow to HC. Look at my weapon stats I never cheesed the game. I spent 12 years of my life playing Destiny/Destiny 2 and stopped playing for the last 2 simply because you guys nerfed bows into the ground and so few people use it. Maybe less than .01% (maybe lower) due to the unforgiveness, terrible aim assist, shot displacement, crit chance and slow TTK value in PVP. Bring bows back and make them fun to use again or I will have to uninstall Destiny 2 again because it's too much data to not play. Thanks!

  • Handcannons can’t two tap unless they’re exotic with extra perks, and bows don’t take 5-6 body shots. Bows have so much aim assist and require 0 skill to use, they don’t need a buff. Also consider how bad a bow meta would be, it would be so passive and just encourage camping in rifts etc

      Hand cannons do not two tap. Tf you mean? I think the new exotic one does. It needs a nerf, but other than that, HCs do not 2 tap.
