Road to Luna's Howl. The only valuable memory of D2 in 2018

I'm an average if not even casual pvp player. Yes, I use all those meta weapons. But two weapons in my inventory deserve a special place. Those are Luna's Howl and The Recluse. Let's speak for the first one until the second one is not talentlessly ruined. When LH has been introduced and the comp leveling was way harder than it is today I decided to get it because of the challenge it brings to my pvp skills. I invested time, never used sh*tty recoveries and made it with my clanmates who are a bit more skilled but more less we're at the same level. it took us a bit more than a week, close to two - but we did it. this weapon is forged with sweat and nerve and acquiring it actually felt like this is SPECIAL. not an average lame pve quest for an exotic everybody can do but something which is superior by design. Because of the way you get it. It has been the weapon that introduced to me and friends of mine a new way to play, a deserved one. It remains and always will be the best memory of 2018 D2. 2019 comes, numerous recoveries all around, ddosing, but what's the saddest - the comp leveling has been redesigned to make it EASIER to get the LH and NF. wow, that's a disappointment. a lot of people got it now without a true effort it took those trying to get it back in November 2018. Now, this patchnote. I don't know who decided that it's a good idea to ruin two awesome weapons this way instead of adressing actual pvp weapon handling problems (yes yes recoil, bloom, all that). As always there's some guy complaining he can't outgun LH or NF. Well, practice, become better, move better, shoot better. Invest in skill, not in complaining and tears. Yes, the guns are nasty but in wrong hands they do nothing exceptional. It's just like with godroll weapons - if don't know how to use it, it's just another gun which won't give you KD over 9000. Aside from the game itself I do a podcast about Destiny and had defended the game in the darkest times, when lots of people were leaving or just blaming it. I tried to shape a good mood for those who play. After reading the patchnote - it wasn't about those two guns anymore, it was about ruining all my friends good times and memories on the way to at least LH, I can't speak for NF. If somebody doesn't have the gun or can't acquire it - it isn't pvp guys problem. go to pvp, get some kills, get skilled, you'll have it all. Who doesn't have it, well, it's not rocket science to define that there has been no effort made and you simply don't need the gun itself. So why complain and ruin the gunplay of those who managed to get through the challenge? It's not the first time the sandbox team does that kind of stuff and yes the pvp is out of sight for some, but for me - it's the 90% reason I play destiny, for pvp, to become a better player and cut through some challenges. So Thanks, to anybody who's responsible for a bad decision like this. One step closer to switching to pc to have proper choice of guns and getting rid of ps4 destiny-wise. I know it's not the way, but I still want to play the game, at least for now but want to see steps forward not steps back.

    People that think that "this is hard to get, so even if it destroys the balance of the game, it's fine" are why thorn took so long to get nerfed in destiny 1. I bet you thought thorn deserved to 2 shot headshot, and also prevent shield regen for a few extra seconds too, didn't you? Cuz you had to do a strike that was like 4% harder than an average nightfall? Cuz you had to kill a few people in crucible? If something is TOO good to be true, it gets nerfed. Get over it. I got my Luna when it first came out too... And ever since then I've been disgusted at how broken and unbalanced all the pinnacle weapons are. Just got mountaintop yesterday. Already disgusted at the literally free kills i get from proxy mines. Pinnacle PvP weapons require 0 skill and reward you tremendously for the most basic tasks... Kill someone? Next kill is basically free. Shoot someone in the head? Kill someone a whole shot faster. Shoot someone with a grenade launcher? Instead of 80 damage you actually get a kill now. There's no "i worked for it, so it deserves to be OP" Anyone who doesn't need a crutch, will instantly realize there's a problem. Recluse basically has 3 perks in one, combined with 0 recoil... How is that even remotely okay.
