So I have seen lots of speculation on this game about "overpowered" weapons not just in destiny, but in pretty much all games where player combat is available. This post, is to tell you: [u] ----[b]EVERYTHING YOU THINK IS WRONG[/b]---- [/u] ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I often get tired of players not doing their research and boasting false opinions, or not reading forum posts through. But what really annoys me is when someone calls a weapon [u][i]overpowered[/i].[/u] [i]The following weapons have been deemed overpowered by the community[/i] Invective - Last Word - Thorn - MIDA Multi-tool - Vex Mythoclast ([i]before and after patch[/i]) - Suros Regime ([i]before patch[/i]) - entire fusion rifle class - Snipers with [i]last round[/i] perks - Red Death - Universal Remote -Queenbreaker bow - Lord of Wolves. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Might I say, none of these are overpowered. The true problem with destiny's PvP weapons, isnt with bungie, it lies in the [u]community[/u]. The community is often too ignorant to distinguish an [i]overpowered[/i] weapon vs an [i]above average[/i] weapon. If any gun that is better than another gun was automatically overpowered (which by destinys [u]forum community,[/u] that is the case) then what your really asking for, is for every weapon to be the same, which would take out [i]variety[/i]. Bungie might as well just make it to where in pvp you can only fight using the same set of armor, everyone gets the same perks, and everyone uses the default assault rifle. because here on destiny, [u]the player base believes in communist gameplay[/u]. Understand, just because someone has a weapon that you dont, and that weapon outclasses what your using in some situations or at some ranges. does not make the weapon OP. it makes it above average OR just simply different. those weapons listed earlier are NOT op, they are [i]above average[/i]. there IS a difference and you NEED to learn it. The only weapon in destiny pvp history that was overpowered, was the vex mythoclast [u]BEFORE PATCHES[/u]. Learn the difference between[i] overpowered[/i] and [i]above average[/i]. It DOES exist, you just need to stop whining because you keep getting killed by a good weapon that you don't have. [b]I also cannot stress enough, that just because a weapon is TOP TIER (one of the best) does not make it overpowered.[/b] leave your comments below and [u][b]vote[/b][/u]. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [b]EDIT: [/b] Im seeing a rapid growth in the option that says im wrong and that lots of exotics are overpowered. Let me say one thing. If Thorn is overpowered, then so is Last Word, Invective, Vex, Suros, Red Death, Plan C, MIDA Multi-Tool, and Universal Remote, and many more. Because ALL of those weapons outclass the thorn in some/most/all (depending on the weapon) ranges, and or situations. if you honestly believe that, then your asking that bungie nerf every half decent weapon into a heaping pile of shit in order to meet your communist gameplay requirements. Maybe the answer isnt to nerf anything, but to buff some other exotics that are a little below average, so that more guns are able to compete with the weapons that everyone enjoys complaining about. right now there are about 10 or so exotics that are [i]top tier[/i] in crucible. if bungie were to increase this number, then the [b]illusion[/b] that thorn is OP, would at least partially dissipate. I think we can all agree, the thorn is a very powerful weapon. but we have two options here. 1. Call for a nerf on the thorn, so that everyone starts using the "next best thing" in which that will get nerfed, and so will its successor, or 2. Buff other weapons further to compete better with these guns, so that nothing is overpowered, and it will add more variety into the game and create a fair fight. (P.S- I am in support for the auto rifle buff.) INTERESTING POST ABOUT SAME TOPIC- PLEASE VOTE. https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/127991799/0/0
