So two of the most used hand cannons in the current meta are finally being nerfed? In a way i can't say that i'm not surprised by this move. While these weapons have risen to be proclaimed by many in the community as the best pinnacle weapons in Destiny 2, i can see why they have earned the infamy they have attached to them. With perks that allow you two shot guardians from a close distance since most of the maps in pvp are built around close quarters engagements is really becoming a issue for a lot of people trying to play competitive crucible. Most people have much associated competitive with luna, dust rock blues, and Wardcliff Coil as the most popular loadout in order to play. While Luna/NF does have counters to it utilizing them has become problematic when trying to face off against them. Combined with the overabundance of these hand cannons in both competitive and quickplay it's hard not to see why it's hated. At the same time however, the people who did earn the weapon really do deserve the weapon. For one thing around the time these weapons were introduced competitive crucible was in a pretty bad state especially with the matchmaking putting you against players who already had the weapons and dominated easily with it. So props to those who worked through the trials of making it to fabled rank. The weapon itself does live up to the reputation a pinnacle weapon should be and based on the gameplay I've seen they're amazing hand cannons to use in pvp. That being said, while i think the weapon has become a good/bad thing for pvp... the way going about it to nerf it is not a good idea. Changing it's rpm from 180 to 150 seems too drastic. While i know that Lunas/NF has become dominant on console, pc has seen other weapons rise in popularity like Kindled Orchid, Thorn, and of course Cayde-6's Ace of Spades. So maybe instead of nerfing there might be other ways to alter without changing the rpm. For me this nerf is taking away what made these guns unique and i bet this is also a slap in the face for those who just got these guns. If anyone has any ideas on how this can be done let me know in the comments. I'm curious to see what you all have for suggestions. If i had one suggestion off the bat maybe it would be for bloom on console to be eliminated. If bloom was eliminated from console then we could see a rise in other hand cannons being used besides these ones and the 180 RPM hand cannons. Or another would be to adjust the perks of this weapons.
