I really like this update, it has gone back to year one style where primaries were dominant! Honestly one of the best crucible patches there has been in a long time! I hated how everyone was only maining a shotgun and rushing you, that presents itself as a total lack of skill in game play and just causes frustration in players. Juggernaut shotgun was the absolute worst thing I have ever seen in a fps and I am glad it is gone. I still think shotguns with low rate of fire should not be able to get full auto on them, but the total removing of the special ammo is a decent substitute. I really like that sidearms are finally getting their time in the sun, I honestly never used one in pvp until a couple days before the patch went live and I really enjoyed it. Snipers are in a very good spot right now which is good as well as I used to be a sniper but gravitated to fusion rifles when shotguns became the only gun used in crucible. I still feel as if auto rifles are not as powerful as they should be and hand cannons are still overly dominant. I actually saw a return of the thorn, which completely disgusts me to an extent that you cannot understand. It is like you nerf one unskilled play style and buff another. Like why the hell did you buff shoulder charge?? That skill shouldn't even be in the skill tree. It is a 1 hit melee that has no cool down time and all you have to do is run for 2 seconds lol. Why do you guys love titans so much, its really annoying?? Flux and magnetic grenades now do more damage?! Like wtf were you thinking those and fusion grenades are the cancer of crucible. Fusions nades are absolutely pathetic and that type of grenade has way too much magnetism! You nerf'd trip mines from sticking which actually took skill to throw and stick ppl but leave fusions which takes no skill, you just toss one in a general direction and it sticks to someone its truly the worst thing to be killed by. Speaking of gunslinger how about giving him some health when in golden gun, its one of the least used sub classes now and is the only sub class that doesn't get a boost to armor when it the super. Everyone challenges a golden gun and I am lucky if I get 2 shots off before I die its extremely unbalanced. Also, the timer of the golden gun is so quick and the accuracy has been brought down so much that a buff to the armour while in the super only would give it a fair chance in crucible. But hey, sunbreakers can throw 7 hammers get health regen, overshield, and extra armor.. because bungie loves titans. They only have the highest armor and health regen and no agility but are still the fastest moving characters in the game lol smh! Honestly do you ever play your own game sometimes and realize "wow we suck at balancing sub classes"? The Sunbreaker was so OP to begin with but then you give him fusion nades too lol, *vomits*. Its like you took everything in the game that was OP and were like lets make a subclass out of all of this. Or it was a subclass someone at Bungie created as a joke to destroy everyone in the office with and then someone was like ya lets implement it and you did without hesitating lol. *TL/DR Primaries are in a good spot except hand cannons are still dominant and I don't really see a difference in auto rifles. I love that most encounters are primary battles now! I really like that shotguns are scarce. I am fine with special ammo loss, the crates timer was a good balance. I like sidearm use, a lot. Snipers are in a good spot now with high caliber nerf. Shoulder charge did not need a buff (lol wtf was that mentality it should only do like 150 damage tops) Magnetic and flux nades buff is extremely dumb, lower all those types of nades magnetism especially fusion nades. Give golden gun extra armor while in super to align with all other supers damage resistance since the accuracy has been destroyed and the timer is so quick now. I really like how all the subclasses with health regen abilities now take longer and its easier to shut down a super from blade, sunbreaker and so on.
