Luna's Howl Ruins Crucible

Okay. Before any tryhard meta abusing kid comes in here and just starts screaming, here me out: The competitive reward is supposed to be powerful and a trophy at the same time. Luna's Howl is definitely powerful, but so many people have it that I would hardly consider it a trophy weapon. However, the gun has a very small skill gap. Anyone can be good with Luna's Howl and almost anyone can acquire it. I've seen a guy with a 0.76 K/D have the gun. The gun (180 HCs in general) does the same amount of flinch as 110 HCs and fires faster while having high stability and recoil direction. This leads to a gun that rewards players that spam the trigger almost as much as it rewards a player that takes the time to land crits. Add this to a team shooting environment (comp), and it just isn't fun. The competitive reward should reward well placed shots instead of spamming honestly. Imagine if Luna's was a 140 that required three crits to activate a deadly perk? That is a skill gap right there. But no. Luna's (and all 180s) are very low skill gap weapons that honestly do way to much flinch, and when so many people have a "pinnacle reward" such as that, it ruins the experience. I have the weapon. I don't use it in QP for these reasons.

  • Luna isn’t really the pinnacle though...

  • You are correct, it does ruin crucible. TTK is way too fast and makes everyone either die to it or hope they can even miss.

    • This is really not very true. The reason why you see so many people with them is more than likely due to the ridiculous amount of recoveries being paid for. Luna's perk requires you to quickly land to precision shots for the third one to do bonus damage. If a terrible player pays for his luna, he's still going to be terrible. If you can't quickly land 2 headshots, the gun is not good. It's like like a 1 second ttk without the magnificent howl perk activating and like a 1.6ish ttk to land body shots. I wish there weren't so many of them out there because it makes the gun feel a little less special for those of us who actually grinded it out, but I don't have the power to stop that myself lol. Anyways, just to reiterate, the gun won't make a shitty player automatically a good player. They might see a liiiitle bump, but I wouldn't imagine they'll shoot up to 2+ k/d's just because of the gun. You still need to have good aim, map awareness, and good critical thinking to be a good player.

        Not a lot of people have it. Its more popular than Redrix because Season 4 is MILES better than Season 3. And there's millions of players on Forsaken while year 1 had 100k players 😂 I do hate how its an 180 tho.

        • Lunas is a grind and at least obtainable for solo players unlike Not Forgotten. It takes time to earn and is far from easy. Plus a lot of people do recoveries. Plus it's not that good for a long range but it's a good gun.

        • Yeah it's actually hilarious. All these guys grinded endlessly for it or paid for it and now that theres no trials they HAVE to go into iron banner with it because they have nothing else to do. So desperate.

          • It doesnt help that people have been selling accounts and hacking their way to Lunas or NF in order to turn a profit... bungie fails to realize that people who do this infest the player population with unskilled (whales) who both infringe on their intellectual property and ruin the average players experience in the game. If matchmaking worked, and there were game admins monitoring the servers to keep an eye out for smurfed accounts & people using bots, this game would be miles better
