Weapon balance is a joke
Primaries are not even close to balanced right now. When my KD swings .7 to 2.5 when i change weapons, something is off. I can see how this gets distorted by SBMM though, because my KD will fall back down to 1 if I get matched with a bunch of sweaties using the same weapons, or a better rolled version.
Bungie - I get that you want everyones KD to be 1.0, but compensating for a gun balance issue by up-ranking someone to higher skill matches is not balance. Its just lazy. If guns were balanced, i wouldnt see huge swings in my KD. If I can dominate people in one match because of my gun's ttk being shorter than theirs, that doesnt mean i am a pvp god and must be matched with other gods, it means your pvp balance is garbage.
Its impossible to know for sure why this happens. Maybe i really am godly sometimes, but i doubt it. When i choose a random gun out of my inventory and get dominated even when im making solid shots, its obviously not a skill issue.
When i pick the publicly accepted god roll out of my inventory and triple my KD, its obviously not skill related.

4 Repliesthe only youtuber and streamer that ive seen do good with litterally any weapon is jmp double x. he doesnt play the objective worth a shit but he can kill people with any gun thats why he can false advertise by saying that every new video he has a "the godliest gun" and in every one he wrecks. i feel like bungie watches him then goes "oh look everything's balanced here, now let's get back to adding pointless things in missions and raids just -blam!- with people."

2 RepliesAs a guy notorious for running my fusion rifle as my primary, since the April update I honestly feel that primaries are more balanced now than for the past year and a half. Basically vanilla destiny was way better but this is kinda close. I've been using my primary a bit more on the advice of MTashed's crucible school and true vanguards streams. Took me a while but learning when to slowly comb the map and when to pinch with my team mates really does help with KD. I feel like I'm getting killed by every kind of weapon these days. ARs, scouts, pulse, HCs, they're all taking shots on me. Pulse is most evident but I'm still dying from hatchets and eyaslunas. Of course, I'm also putting in my work too :) I feel u on the Bungie needing to keep the 1.0 KD status queue, and I thing it's bull that we gotta deal with the sbmm. But I do think the weapons are more balanced than having everyone and their mom run rampant with thorns and gjallahorns

1 ReplySo, what are you proposing? Do you suggest they nerf every perk, or make reforging a thing?

Nerfing/buffing has never been about balance. It's about creating the next shiny object - to grind for or to drive players to an underplayed playlist. Case in point.... the DoP.

Basing the K/D off a point instead of a range is where Bungie first started screwing up PvP.
