Iron Banner isn't Fun Anymore
I've participated in most of the Iron Banner events and I am at the point that I hate IB. IB has become not a test of skill, but a test of who has the best "weapons of the patch". Last IB, if you didn't use the Red Death, you got boned. This time, if you don't use the Thorn, or another hand cannon, then expect to die often in 1v1.
The other issue with this is that I do solo and PvP but that gear from that doesn't compare to raid gear. Make solo missions with the raid equivalent difficulty and rewards. Do the same with PvP.
I am having other issues that I haven't had before: enemy shotguns with long range and one-hit-kills from long range, enemy survives blasts to the face with fusion rifles at close ranges, and fully charge melee hits not killing the target.
I have noticed that I do not enjoy IB anymore and, furthermore, I don't even enjoy it when my team is winning. During the last IB, I felt the same way until I switched to the Red Death, then I enjoyed myself. This time I am not switching. I am tired of the "balancing" patches that buff one weapon type and the nerf everything else.
[b]Obviously I need to clarify.[/b] Based on the comments this post has received, I can tell I wasn't clear in what I was trying to say. My issue isn't with any particular weapon or weapon type but, rather, the the lack of consistency and the drastic changes from patch to patch and the effect this inconsistency and imbalance has had on my enjoyment of the IB. My skill as a player is irrelevant as when I was more inexperienced, and performing horribly in IB, I still enjoyed playing.
As a developer, feedback on UX is invaluable. If your product provides poor UX, then people will use another product. Their goal should be to maximize participants in all game modes.
If you disagree, that is your prerogative.

7 RepliesThe problem is that no matter what they do to fück up the weapons for you pvp cry babies, someone will always bitch that the weapons are imbalanced. What do you want to see? The thorn should have its perks removed and take as many head shots/body shots to kill a player as the Monte Carlo? Some weapons are more powerful that others on a per shot basis. If a bunch of players get good at using hand cannons and are headshot machines, that doesn't mean you fück up the aiming mechanics or nerf the damage of the weapon. Doing that just fücks the millions of other players that aren't aim bots and that enjoy using the weapon. Those players now have to deal with reduced stats because a group of people in pvp got really good with it and the ones who refuse to get good with the best weapons cry like bitches until the gun gets fücked over in a patch. Well, you know what, those players that were "exploiting" the weapon you just helped fück over will find the new most powerful weapon in the game and get good with it. You, on the other hand, will not adapt, will come to the forums, and will whine like a bitch that this new most powerful weapon is killing you too much and should be nerfed. Do you see the endless cycle? It leads to nothing but fücking over the masses because you are a whiny bitch.
