See here's the thing. I feel there is a way to achieve true balance in Destiny. But the first thing I need to do is break a barrier for you, or open your eyes. No matter what there will always be power creep. Yes. I know. Hard to except, but.. there was is and always will be power creep. People always tell me "If you buff everything you run into power creep" or vise versa. Listen if you nerfed every gun to shoot paint balls and feathers there would still be some sort of power creep. Look at year 1. Many powerful things, but also much fun. I'm honestly sick of all the big streamers kissing Bungie's butt saying how everything is balanced and blah blah blah, and how they made good decisions. Honestly year 1 was (House of wolves era) was the peak for destiny. There was a lot a variety in my opinion. I mean compared to now, it was much better. And now back to my point, right now, there is power creep. Ever wonder why top players don't use red death? Nirwins? Because they are underpowered. Especially against guns like hawksaw, mida, TLW, ect. Or the Hakkons hatchet archetype. Yea it ok, but not amazing. And gets overpowered by top tear weapons. Or hung jurry. That archetype usually gets outclassed by mida and other weapons. There is so much power creep right now! So I think there is a way to achieve almost perfect balance. Because honestly there will never be perfect balance. So here are my proposals for balance. Proposal #1 Have everything revolve around the same kill time but have ranges where certain weapons do better, like scouts would dominate long ranges depending on impact and rof, then have pulses dominate the mid range engagements also depending on rof and impact. Then have hand cannons and autos dominate closer range engagements. So all of these weapons will revolve around one kill time at there dominate ranges. Let's say .8 or .9 but these kill times will be at these weapons dominate ranges. Obviously kill times would change at certain ranges Proposal #2 Have everything be balanced by power and uniqueness. Basically everything will powerful in a different way, like thorn and red death. Thorn two tapped, red death 2 bursts. Red death Regens health making it a good thorn repellent, but both completely different weapons. And both good weapons that are balanced for each other. But I'd like to see more weapons balanced by power and uniqueness. (Simular to year 1) but have some weapons tweaked. Like making auto rifles more powerful, just making every weapon some kind of contender. Then my proposal to special balance is to have shotguns have a range and accuracy buff, revert any sniper nerfs, give fusions a slight accuracy buff, maybe range too. (Mostly talking about the faster charge rate fusion rifles) then give sidearms a range and accuracy buff to contend with other special weapons. I'll state again, there will never be perfect balance, but there can be an almost perfect balance. So that is my proposal. Any other ideas? Which proposal did you like better? Why? Did they both suck? What would you change? I would love to see your guys thoughts!
