Its just gonna push a Service Revolver/Recluse/Wardcliff meta.
I don't have LH/NF, and I don't plan on taking the time to get them - I don't have the temperament to make it that far in competitive without breaking half my shit.
That being said, I don't agree with the nerf. Its slapping the people who earned them legit directly in their face (-blam!- anyone who did a recovery or lobby manipulation though; I hope those pieces of shit get crabs in their assholes). The gun doesn't make the player - a week after this patch the message boards will be up in arms about whatever the new meta is.
Nobody wants to learn to counter guns and it's more frustrating than getting train wrecked by a 6 stack of LH/NF/DRB/Wardcliffs.
Everyone's old friend Graviton is a great counter to all of that nonsense so long as you hang back. Take note scrubs (coming from a scrub, mind you).
Bad move, Bungo.

Gotta say I agree with you here. I don't think they should be nerfed at all. They are pinnacle weapons that a lot of people have worked really hard for (unless, as you mentioned, anyone who paid someone to do it!) I'm working my way, albeit painfully slowly, towards Luna. I'm not holding my breath, coz I play Solo (in PvP anyway) and I can't seem to get past around 1400 Glory Points. I find my Bygones stands up to Luna's at least. I occasionally stand half-a-chance! Failing that my trusty Jotünn (yes I do get hate messages, even from DRB/NF/Wardcliff running PvP monsters). After all it's not the gun, it's the player wielding it and I've come across a lot of Luna running sweaties that can't seem to shoot straight for shit. Anyway, I think they should [b]buff other hand cannons[/b] instead [i]or[/i] (and this is just an idea here) make it so any players with Luna or NF equipped [b]can ONLY compete in the Competitive playlist[/b], not Quickplay, Iron Banner or any other Crucible activity. After all that's where they got it from, seems only right to make those 2 guns unique to that activity – probably too much hard work for the Devs though?!? If they do persist in nerfing them, it may very well backfire on them.

Its 100% gonna backfire on them. Even Reddit is turning on this decision and that place is like 99% "everything in D2 is great". But it's the same company digging their heels in on cores, so no matter the backlash its gonna happen and its gonna last for a long, long, LONG time.

Hard to hang back from a team that will rush you knowing they can do more damage to you. They will toss grenades and finish you off with no problems

I never said it was a great tactic on all maps, but I just had one of the best games of my D2 life sitting back and tagging people with Graviton Lance while they helplessly clutched their DRBs and LHs and Reverly tonics. Obviously I wasn't picking off entire teams, but ideally you'll have your team rushing them and soaking up some of those stray bullets. But that goes back to another problem Bungie has; map sizes don't fit team sizes anymore (sans like 3 exceptions and a couple of lanes on others).
