If I may share my opinion on that. Do I dislike OHK? Yes. Could Bungie do something about it? Probably. Will they? Likely not. Generally speaking if you listen to professional players(from all games) they will all agree that in most cases it's just a cheap move. Developers know that but usually OHK allow to reduce the gap between good and bad players to even up the field. It's to make the game more casual as it is a lot easier to press a button at the right moment than having to be consistent with precise aiming and decision making. This also reduce the need for teamwork as the damage can easily be done by yourself instead of finding the best approach to a fight with your team. Same goes for grenades and supers to ensure that everybody is happy as the majority of players don't really care at the end of the day as long as they get a kill from time to time. The easier a game, the more people will play it. In my opinion I preferred the beta where using abilities would drain your super meter making you take an actual tactical decision. I also think it was better with 2 primaries as it was allowing weapon variety and required a better/consistent aim. Obviously this had no chance of surviving as the majority just want an easy time(like most communities). I don't think there is a reason to hope that Bungie will improve crucible as they don't see it as a competitive platform. For them it's just a place where people can have fun. They just try to not completely break it. For the aim option I don't think it will make a big difference. You look at a game like Apex that allow you to fully customize your sensitivity and you realise that actually nobody cares so I don't believe Bungie will take the time to look into that. Obviously some people would like it but not enough to invest in that. The best they could actually do is allow the player to increase the field of view(FoV). Now that is something the game needs on console but I'm pretty sure they won't do anything like that because they don't want to mess too much with the console framerate issues that would come with that. As for what class/exotic is OP I don't think there is a reason to go there. Destiny never was nor will it be a serious competitive game. Crucible is there because pretty much every game needs a mandatory PvP mode. All I can say is that if you truly want a better PvP experience you should look for a better PvP oriented game. You can try Counter Strike, Halo, Call of Duty, Battlefield, Battle royals, Quake, Doom etc. That is all.

PATHETIC

I think crucible is in a nice spot right now. 🎅🏿

I, personally, like the challenges per classes. We are going to die in a video game regardless... does “how” really matter?.. and since we are, would you not want a challenge? Here is my thing.. if I keep dying to one hit kills, I am doing something wrong as a player. If it is a sweaty game, and I lose to a one hit kill.. outside of lag, it is still on me for not reading the map/situation. Let’s say we go back to the hand holding lane game... you are still going to die unless your teammates are matching your every move to counter the three other hand holders on the other team. Yes, you “could” get lucky and win said gun fight if the other players are thumbless.. but your chances are slim while said scenario is not even close to exciting. Now, currently, we can be brave and move in on three opponents and possibly walk out the victor.. yes I may die by a one hit kill... but I may walk out of a 1 v 3 situation because I have a one hit kill weapon. Exciting. I would complain about one hit kills on other classes... until I ran another class.. A hunter can not have a one hit kill ability. The two most top needs for a video game is skill and mobility/agility... a hunter. We can sneak in, bunny hop all around players, and make players move both thumbs and in return this takes away precision aiming from your opponent. The only thing that can come close to this on the other classes is a warlock floating above or blink. If hunters had a one hit kill perk to go along with their vertical game, it would not be balanced. Yes, I hate that titans have a free kill with the shoulder charge/shield bash.. but that compliments their job. To not only be the front line, but to take the front line. Warlocks nova grenade is strong, their tethering arc web that can wipe a team is beyond annoying... but teams holding hands and babysitting their stats blows those things out of the water when it comes to annoying. See, you are looking at things that do not take much skill and sharing your complaint about it... But I see scenarios that demands I improve my skill to go against. Ie the way players play rewards my growth in the game. In a game that you can literally make a legal aimbot per combinations of perks... there is no “fair”. There is skill, or there are those that do not care. A great pool of players with all sorts of skill ranges that makes us either improve our own skills, or not. To me, this is balanced for all sorts of players but rewards the skilled. If you are a better player than I am.. then what I have would never change that. The more advantages I have, only buys me cheap kills... but the better player will always be the better player. Get over the fact you die. No one cares about your stats. Take your death, understand why, and change. In a p2p game with horrible lag situations... the last thing anyone should be complaining about is what we use in the game and more about demanding quality from either the developers or the hardware companies that provide a gaming experience. Getting domed 10’ behind cover due to latency, bullet magnetism, and lag is FAR FAR FAR more annoying than a player that took me out with a shotgun because of my own mistakes made per skill. In short, will you have a team that runs up and smack your team down with high pressure plays and one hit kill weapons? Yup. This is not an “L” situation but rather a display of high excitement plays that can be developed so that you can force other players to loosen up and have fun. Like I stated earlier.. in a game that I can have a player running against a wall taking no damage and teleporting out of said area to live will forever be rage inducing far more than a skilled player punishing me for not adapting to a one hit kill ability and or weapon.

Can't really speak for SC, but for warlock's handheld supernovas they are really nice, especially when paired with contraverse hold and some ordinance mods. BUT with such an a amazing mid-game there has to be a downfall. The nova warp super is absolute garbage. One of the worst PvP supers in the game. The nova warp class is balanced with a shit super but fun mid-game.

Destiny has established itself as a game all about 1 shot kills. Go play another game if you want one about shooting rifles at each other.

They tried that... and it failed. All people did was hold hands and shoot lanes. It actually removes skill from the game per the majority of the players mentalities of their precious stats. Now, be it our weapons are actually better now, it could be a little better than year one... but I doubt it. Players in the current meta still will not let go of their teams hands and move in duos or triples to make sure everyone is ok. You are going to die in this game. It is actually designed to keep stats in check. Yes, there are workarounds.. but the game will actually try to lower your stats and win ratios to keep it addicting. Be it in game nerfs or putting you against better players... the game literally works against you and the intent is for you to improve and be challenged. Saying that... the live team needs to be a live team. Especially that they are nickel and dime-ing this game to death compared to d1. The game now has a far more rewarding high risk/high reward approach now. This creates exciting gameplay. Those “wow” moments that makes a player hit the save video button. If you are wanting slow and steady with a slower approach, then this game is not for you. The way it is, the back to form like d1, is what separates this game from others. Instead of walking into a wall hoping a game conforms to your tastes, try to conform to the game or find one that fits. I am THE definition of a player that never played this style of game but never gave up. Took me a long while... but when you find that groove.. this game is fun. Be it with a hand cannon, shotgun, fusion etc... You are not getting outplayed because someone has a shotgun and you do not... you are getting outplayed because you are making bad decisions and giving the player with a shotgun an opportunity. Do not stand your ground... it is ok to realize that you are not in a prime location with your chosen weapon. Retreat, reset, and pull players into your weapons choice distance. There is a counter to everything in pvp...skill is what separates us all. The number of skilled players and communication is the only thing you can not control.. but you can change your frame of mind to see what you can improve when you know the pub stomp is coming.

i dont mind OHK Weapons, if someone gets close with the shotgun than they deserve the kill, sitting in corners is what noobs and scrubs do, the skilled playerd just dodge most of your shots and kill you. all we need is a rework on the special ammo system and heavy should be removed
