I happen to be one of the many loyal players that have put hours and hours into this game because that is what it took to obtain the arsenal of guns that I have at my disposal. It took loads of hard work and dedication to obtain guns such as Gjallarhorn, Thorn, Ice Breaker, Last Word and Black Hammer. With these weapon changes that are coming, you are taking away the need for me to keep practicing with my hand cannons and instead pick up other weapons that require virtually no skill to use. I know there are thousands of players out there that are just like me in thinking that there is no such thing as an "OP" gun. Everyone that plays this game has the same opportunities to obtain these weapons but instead of working hard to obtain them, they choose to whine about them so that they become more effective as weapon parts than they are as a used up storage slot.
I personally think that a better solution to the "PvP problems" would be a better matchmaking system or something similar. Perhaps give people some sort of rating and match people more evenly. Maybe if you are a player that isn't doing so good and are in a fireteam with some that are good at PvP then do an average of the ratings (just suggestions here, have no idea if it would work or not) I know that it sucks when you continually average a 0.5 k/d and can't seem to do better but decreasing the effectiveness of the guns that obviously everyone likes to use is not the answer.. (The real solution is for people to stop whining and start working but that's not likely to happen)
And the Gjallarhorn nerf is just ridiculous.. It's the "horn of the Gods" for Gods sake..

The only thing becoming useless is Final round perk and black Hammer.
