Why are Primary weapons useless in PVP? (Besides low impact Autos)
I mean why call them "primaries" if they're useless for combatting grenades, shotguns, and snipers. It takes half a brain to balance weapons, yet bungie can't seem to do it given 2 years + development time.
This game is just an unbalanced gambling clown fest with no skill gap.
I put no effort into this post, but it's not like this shitty game deserves it.

Trust me I've been preaching this for awhile now and ppl actually think sniping takes skill. I guarantee you when they take off aim assist off snipers it will be a better game. More primaries less one shot kills.

Snipers that's why. Unfortunately😞

I would make PVP use canned loadouts, no options. Then everything is the same and you have nothing to whine about. That's the only way everything is going to be balanced. I'd also include that many say Tlaloc is OP in PVP. It can't be OP and useless at the same time.

Because of all the excessive nerfs implemented by Bungie.

1 ReplyEdited by cesar1: 5/30/2016 3:04:52 AMOkay, I guess half you idiots are too dumb to understand... ARs and PRs have the exact same purpose, with two different firing modes (fully auto and burst). They are both technically assault rifles, so WHY, no matter what update, one useless compared to the other? The kill time with primaries in general is so long that 90% of the time, you lose a battle to a kid with a shotgun across the room because they usually have enough time to run 50 feet and kill you. Between the one of the worst ARs, the red spectre, and one of the best ARs, the the trials one, WHY is there almost a second difference in killtime? Even considering that they function at the same ranges in terms of drop off and recoil. Pistols might as well be removed because they shoot blanks since the last update. Scout Rifles also might as well be removed because there ttk is so long that they're useless on all these small cqc paintball maps. Why are primaries useless? Because they can't counter a good sniper, and every map is so close quarters that you'll encounter a shotgun that will hold forward on you. Moral of the story: Snipers take skill to miss with (literally), shotguns are snipers in disguise, and grenades can lock onto you (lol) or set you on fire for 10 minutes, so why use or even have primaries?? Also it's not even that they have a long ttk in general, it's that you are restricted to snail speed and are grounded when you aim, which is required since hip firing is useless and is just a shitty game mechanic. But this game is to like for the people who sit behind the ignorance of not playing Halo 1-3, and not knowing what a balanced game is.

2 RepliesEdited by wilco490: 5/31/2016 5:12:35 AMAre they? Thats the question. I still use my primes mostly, and found some really good ones to counter snipers. For example, i had not used my no time to explain for quite a while. Found out during iron banner that its quite effective against snipers! They cant aim if i keep the headshots coming, and die after 3 bursts to the head from quite a distance. That being said, some might have a different opinion. Thats what the forums are for. No problem.

2 RepliesI wouldn't say Destiny is a shitty game, but I can see your point of view as primaries being not as strong as other weapons (shotguns, sniper rifles, gernades). However, it seems the new trend is the come back of the auto rifle in PVP. I have had some success with it in particular Hard Light. Should give it a try and see how it works for you. Have a good one. bhock24

1 ReplyBecause Bungie nerfed the damage and range stats to the point where close-medium ranges are considered "sniping" distances.

I play 90 percent with my auto rifle and do just fine. I'm holding 2.0 kd on most games in this iron banner. P. S. I don't play much pvp on destiny

1 ReplyWell thanks to crucibabies all the guns that could compete with snipers are absolute now so now u have to compete with snipers. Should have thought twice before adking for nerfs

For what its worth, as a mediocre player I think primaries are fine, I just think there should be some sway in sniping, maybe with a special ability charge (like melee, grenade) to temp remove sway. Otherwise I'm content with the crucible, I enjoy not being the top of the food chain, it gives me something to complain about, and the lag issues give me a plausible excuse to blame all of my faults on the interweb.
