Anyone who has read a post about “X ability is too strong and I think it should get tuned down” or “X ability is too weak and I think it deserves a buff,” and then proceeded to look at the comments can definitively say a staggering majority of those posts will always have at least one comment that in some way expresses the idea that “Well Destiny is a game about Space magic, if you wanted to use guns go play ‘X fps game’ lmao.”
To those of you that comment that, I beg the question: If abilities are that important to what makes Destiny, Destiny then why not default every crucible game mode to Mayhem? I mean if it seems so important that an ability is never tuned down to allow for more gunfights then why not completely remove gunfights from the game? Hell lets just take guns out of the crucible! I mean it is a game about space magic! In fact lets just remove guns from Destiny entirely, we don’t need those in a game about space magic.
Are you starting to see the stupidity in that argument? All the forum posts are not asking “take abilities out of the game” a vast majority are just “hey, this ability is too oppressive and needs to get looked at and adjusted to make it more consistent with other abilities so that there is an incentive to use other subclasses/guns,” and yet you reply the exact same way “its a space magic game why are you so worried about gunfights.” Unless you 100% agree with the sentiment that guns should straight up be taken completely out of the game, stop replying to every balancing critique with “its a space magic game.”

Destiny has some of the best gunplay out there. To the point where a lot of people play only for the gunplay. Many Youtubers and players asking for a ‘no ability’ mode for PvP and so on. It’s outright arrogant to say ‘it’s a space magic game’ when people complain about over balanced abilities. I’m a stasis hunter and hot damn shatter dive kill radios is insane. Needs nerfing. And ‘it’s a space magic game’ isn’t a valid counter
