Is Bungie literally trolling? [State of Gambit and Fusions Rant]

The entire community other than the "1337" sleeper crutch babies demand a nerf to a BS easy mode cross-map instakill weapon. Bungie says sure. We'll nerf it. And makes no mention of anything other than changing Sleeper. "We see that the community is mad about one-shot body shots. How do we fix that?... Let's randomly make a weapon that already charges in 1/3rd the time, now have enough aim assist to hit the head even when you're aiming for their shins at 300m! Surely they can't complain now, because it's obviously showing a headshot indicator now, even if you aim at the same spot that would usually get a body shot on sleeper! So, by thus making the killfeed show a crosshair, we have effectively nullified all balance issues with Gambit!" Now literally the only thing you see is 4 stacks of 2-3 Thousand Voices, and 1-2 Queenbreakers. Not only is Queenbreaker already at least twice as bad as sleeper, but now not EVERYONE can potentially have a counter to it, because you have to have that 0.000000000025% chance to have it drop a forsaken exotic AND have it be the Queenbreaker. So I honestly believe bungie is trolling the entire playerbase with this BS. There's no way you don't playtest an enhanced fusion rifle target mod with it and realize that it's entirely broken. They honestly must be laughing hysterically at their own incompetence. I figured Queenbreaker would be the fallback crutch weapon that doesn't need any aiming all the way back when they initially posted the announced sleeper nerf. I didn't realize they would be clueless enough to buff it. I hate to say it, but the sleeper plague was far better than this. I'm just sitting here, waiting for the good ol' Destiny 1 nerf armageddon on the entire linear fusion and 1000 voices class... Because Bungie sure does love to have their "ever changing meta" as they referenced in that interview back in Destiny 1. Even regular linears feel a bit too strong now, and they don't necessarily deserve a nerf, but since the devs are so good at tuning individual classes in Destiny's history, we can expect them to be useless in about 5 months. Linears, 1000 voices, heck, ANY heavy, aren't even remotely a problem in normal crucible is the main stupid problem. Probably because they don't get 3 backpacks of ammo for every player on the enemy team. But alas, it's Gambit... It's perfectly tuned to favor the engagement style and distances to the point where the only way to balance it is to limit the ammo (not give 7 instakills per brick would be ya know... a small step in the right direction). Honestly I wouldn't care if they have a 1-shot instakill weapon, if they could only use it for one invasion. Gambit needs some serious work to be even remotely enjoyable without a 4 stack of tryhards running the most crutch weapons available at the time. Because your odds of success without the cookie cutter singular loadout for Gambit-- when running up against a team that DOES have ONE particular weapon that's brokenly overpowered-- instantly drop to 1/3rd their original chances. I love the concept of the mode, but the execution is perhaps the most pathetically balanced thing since Atheon vs solar grenades. I would LOVE to be able to play a match without Go Figure | Ikelos | *Insert no-aim required heavy here* , or the edge-lord fringe build of Hand Cannon | Ikelos | *Insert no-aim required heavy here* , but you have to love that BALANCE :D All I'm saying, can those at the sandbox team perhaps think logically next time we make a balance decision? Instead of taking one bad apple out of the batch.. and throwing a nice big bucket of worms all over the festering bushel of maggot fuel known as Gambit? Thanks. \Inb4 queenbreaker isn't the next sleeper Change my mind.

Because I've found that trying to change the minds of people who insist upon seeing themselves as victims is a waste of my time. The sandbox isn't your problem though. Your problem is your pointless wish for the game to be other than what it is. The game IS A DPS RACE combined with OPEN WORLD PVP. So there is ALWAYS going to be a meta. Because the community will ALWAYS figure out the most efficient build because people interested in WINNING.....will get tired of LOSING to those teams of equal skill who use the meta. Sort of BREAKING the game....or completely redesigning it to be something FUNDAMENTALLY different from what it is.....you're wasting your time. Because Bungie can retune the sandbox.....and you'd come right back bitching about the next meta. Instead of whining about what other people are playing with, you might want to use that energy to improve your own game. (PS: I told you guys that nerfing Sleeper wouldn't save you.)

    • See. This post. This is the type I knew would come if sleeper became less of an issue. Y'all have no excuse now. This is ridiculous. Get. Better. And don't be out in the open. If your dumbass is where I can see you then you're getting queenbreaker shot, you're getting man o war shot, or you're getting whisper shot. Or I'll hunt you down with Luna. Stop blaming the damn weapons and be better. Stop your damn crying.

        • When I die to an invader in gambit regardless of weapon it’s because I got caught out in the open every time plain and simple. Play smarter don’t blame the weapons.

          • Crybaby posts about sleeper has caused me to leave sleeper on all game modes. It's really a lot of fun you see. Get yourself a fusion reserves and quick reload gauntlets and your good To go to town killing scrubs. My absolute favorite is baiting apes blindly rushing me than ricocheting a round on the ground in front of them all watching it burn their face off. Bahahahahaha
