Luna's howl removal?

[b]WARNING: THIS IS AN OPINION, AND MINE AT THAT. YOU MAY NOT AGREE, AND I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR YOUR OPINIONS. THANKS AND PLEASE READ![/b]So crucible is in a dump for me at the very moment, due to Luna, and only Luna. It is the most overpowered hand cannon on console, there-i-say the most broken weapon in Destiny. It is a consistent .6 kill time with the easiest HC archetype to use, and is very forgiving, if you even hit a body shot when Magnificent Howl (MH) procks. It allows even unskillful players to utilize its perk well. Don't get me wrong, I love this thing, and have used it, and destroyed people with it that were even above my skill level, but due to the fact that people can just get it, it's not special. There are now 3 weapons you can earn [b]at the same time[/b] in the comp playlist (Luna, Mountaintop, Recluse) and is the most powerful weapon of the bunch. Recluse and mountaintop have restrictions, due to one being a Special Ammo grenade launcher, and heavily restricted range on Recluse, though underneath those said restrictions, they are [u]very powerful[/u] though Luna has almost no restriction. It behaves better than any other hand cannon, having somewhat decent range. Luna's seems to be a complete tier above the rest of the "Comp Fabled Weapon Galore" [u]This is where I probably get the death threats and probably what you came for[/u]. I want it taken out of the game completely. This would balance crucible on a complete magnitude. It would also incentivize people to get [b]Not Forgotten[/b] because of the pure power of that weapon. If this does happen, Not Forgotten can obtain Luna's howl's strongest stats, making it even more worth it, as a Legend reward. People that had Luna's can get a compensation reward of maybe something along the line of 777 legendary shards, 77 masterwork cores, and maybe exclusive emblem that shows how many Luna's Howl kills you had. And maybe a dog howling at the moon (if you don't know the lore, a guardians dog was left on the moon, and the guardian was mad and shtuff.) The quest could remain the same, just for the emblem (said earlier). If someone gets the emblem after the removal, it just doesn't have a counter on it. Remember this is my opinion and how I would like it to go if it did happen. Thanks for reading, and leave opinions down below [b]OR[/b] if you wanna discuss it more, message me on Playstation @Inc_Badassery.

  • I can't help but feel if they prioritised balancing matchmaking then the problem would be a lot less rampant. Most of the problems comes from the fact that people stack with Lunas and NF.

  • No! Stop thinking take away. Instead think make new game modes... some without certain weapons and some for beginners

      Removing luna’s howl would not balance crucible, at all. My money’s on you complaining about bygones next. Then, we still have the underwhelming auto rifles, and high impact pulses. Bloom is so bad on 150 hand cannons it’s pretty much killed all excitement for the thorn at launch. Removing luna’s howl is just perpetuating the trend that made the meta in D1 crucible sidearms and fusion grenades because literally everything else was nerf’d.

        • You know that if they remove Luna and buff Not forgotten it will create one of the biggest sh1tstorms in these forums... Like seriously? People are not going to grind for legend. They are going to make posts how Bungie locks like 80% of players from getting the best gun in the game.

          • Just put a copy of them into a Quickplay quest like they did with Rendrix. Then everyone can have them.

                • No screw you. Lina's is my favorite PvE HC. Sure remove it from pvp. But keep it in the game.

                    Not sure if it should be removed, but I really do think it should have never been added. 180s killing in 3 hits every gunfight makes every other Legendary HC pointless Also, the idea of getting rid of Luna but keeping NF is just terrible

                      • Honestly the issue in my opinion is not Luna’s howl or N/F but 140 and 150 HC not performing as they should be... By the way I have Luna’s Howl and I agree that magnificent Howl should activate only on precision damage,it is pinnacle weapon made for accurate shooters.

                        • 100% hell no People earned thier cannon, they deserve to run with it. The gun is not necessarily more op then a bygones with kill clip or joutunn but people prefer to blame individual weapons instead of themselves for deaths or things that happen in game

                          • There are a bunch of other weapons that counter Luna’s in time to kill or in consistency and ease of use that are just as easy if not easier to obtain.

                              They shouldn't get rid of Luna's but in my own opinion most people who got it was carried through the quest in Comp so they should make it a comp only weapon because many people didn't deserve it by doing the quest with streamers, all you have to do is sub a streamer on twitch and they will carry you no matter how bad you suck in pvp lol I always see Twitch streamers on their title saying "Free LH and Forgotten carries" or just "LH and forgotten carries for subs" then once they get it they bring it over to QP so don't tell me everyone that has it has earned it because they didn't, they just cheesed it.

                              • It took me 2 months to get Luna's Howl. Taking it out of the game or otherwise nerfing it would be an incredibly large insult to my time and investment in this game. I don't disagree that it is incredibly powerful. I agree that I get killed by it waaaaaay too often. But if it gets removed, Bungie says that those 2 months of grinding and beating myself to death in comp were a waste and that my time doesn't matter as a player. That is why Bungie will never remove it.

                                    • Having earned my Luna, I would be pretty annoyed if it were removed or nerfed into oblivion. However, I would be ok with Magnificent Howl only increasing precision damage. Luna and NF are extremely overused, so it would be nice if they were dialed back somewhat. But, for the love of Shaxx, do not nerf them into the ground. inb4 "I BET U PAYED 4 UR LUNA U FITHLY SKRUB"
