Why does Bungie hate Shadebinders so much?

Shadebinder literally sucks so bad in crucible and they keep nerfing it further? Reading this week at bungie and I keep asking myself: Why would you buff the warlocks pnenumbral blast last week only to nerf it following week? That literally makes zero sense to me. All I’m saying is that if you are going to nerf warlocks so hard then you have to give that same treatment to the other subclasses melee abilities. If the hunters scythes traveled as slowly as the warlocks pnemubral blast and had the same zero-tracking that it has, then 60%+ player base would be having a fit about it. Not to mention the hunters melee freezes for 4 seconds and the warlocks only freeze for 1 second and has almost zero range.

Maybe try to actually understand the patch notes before throwing a fit about it. They reduced the stacks it applies to 4/10. Meaning in order to get a freeze off without using a grenade we need to throw 2 melees and dodge next to the opponent. Also penumbral blast has a very generous AoE.

  • This really isn't a big nerf, I think people are overreacting, especially since they buffed the rest of shadebinder. Makes no sense to say bungie hates them if they buffed them.

    • It's not Bungie, these are community nerfs. This is what the people want. Apparently

      Im a warlock main and I couldnt care less, the subclass is gimmicky and not fun to play even pre nerf it was boring. Instafreeze melee, useless passive ability, cubersome and clunky super. I havent used it since the first week and Id like it to stay that way.

    • An instant freezing ability at the cost of -50 damage isn’t going to ruin the class. The melee is still going to be great and the super is even better now. A 1 second freeze is a lot of time in Destiny let alone any FPS
