I'm against pinnacle weapons being substantially better than anything else that can drop in the game, if only because it sets exactly the kind of conditions which leads people to cheat, win-trade, DDoS, and sell carries and recoveries. It's one thing if Bungie were willing to buff other underused guns and weapon archetypes so that they can compete with OP pinnacles (which is what I would prefer) but since they won't, it leaves no option but toning down OP pinnacles so that they are only marginally better than anything else in the game. There needs to be a way to incentivize people playing Comp without dangling OP weapons in front of people, or putting guns in the game that not only make bad players much harder to kill, but makes it almost impossible to kill good players. I'm fine with having certain, easily accessible guns in the game that are easy to use for newbies (eg. Bygones, Trust, Service Revolver, etc.), to bridge the skill gap between newb and seasoned veteran, but no gun should be so good that when put in the hands of someone skilled, it entirely unbalanced the game, nor should any gun be so good that it makes an otherwise bad player capable of consistently besting more skilled/more seasoned players.
