"As a Warlock main I believe hunters are too over..", "Titans are F** broken" "Icarus dash needs a nerf" etc etc etc. We've all seen these similar statements across the board in pvp related talks around the forums and on reddit, I too used to be guilty of this type of behaviour too. But honestly lets be real guys we all who love PvP, want to see it in a better place at the end of the day. The one thing the PvP community isn't, as opposed to the PvE community, is "United"; we are only interested in talking about what interests us or our opinions, and the reality of it is that comments made with such personalized motives behind them will never gain enough traction to make Bungie push out those changes we need as a community. Its easier said than done, because as opposed to PvE their will always be winners at the expense of losers, resulting in people being toxic and salty.
We need to rally together for the sake of improving the current state of PvP for all of us, we need to get the ball rolling and support for changes that will benefit this community as a whole and not dish out personalized changes that are completely biased.
We need to rally for a better trials experience for everyone, a stronger crackdown for cheaters, more endgame PvP content aside from trials (ex. Comp playlist its been dead and not worth the grind ever since Not Forgotten was sunset) We need to rally for more maps, bringing back gamemodes such as rift. No matter how you slice it the PvP needs a lot more, too all the players that have played bungies classic Halo trilogy, the amount of gamemodes it had (Big team slayer, king of the hill etc.) We can complain about balance of classes and weapons till the cows come home, but to no avail. But what about the endgame? Why not anything worth running through the comp playlist for? if not pinnacle weapons, why not Comp playlist based armor? why not adept versions of Crucible themed weapons brought back? like they did with D1 weapons for Nightfalls? why not Adept weapons for Iron banner perhaps? why not a 6v6 or a 4v4 competitive type playlist, kinda like trails of the nine along with Trials of osiris? (can bring back the Trials of the nine weapons with random rolls and adept versions of them with some new armor or ornaments?)
We can always talk about balance of classes and guns but sadly we all know the pvp community is too toxic and biased when it comes to those. Perhaps we can push for a playlist that is designed to test future patch changes out, like Bungie did for a short amount of time? better matchmaking?
How about a crucial one such as not being able to change controller sensitivity for hip fire/ads/long scope/short scope separately? I honestly don't doubt that I will get some snarky stuck up toxic replies to this post regardless of what I have spoken, but honestly I just want the PvP experience to be better for all of us, not just me, not just for warlocks (that I actually do main) I want it to be for hunters and titans too, I want to see hunters maybe get bones of eao, radiant dance machines back, want to see titans have twilight garrison, helm of inmost light again, would love to see nothing manacles/voidfang vestments back etc.
So please I encourage anyone of this post to promote positivity for the whole PvP community and not just make cocky toxic comments pls. If you like of the suggestions or ideas I've thrown out for us, please comment below or if you have your own ideas, or would like to expand on any of the above, please comment and lets get this post noticed by Bungie hopefully!
Thanks for reading <3

YOU ARE AMAZING and I'm sure you are a breath of fresh air for Bungie! Thank you so much for being nice about voicing your opinion! This is one of the few posts (or just, strings of though, for that matter) that I've read and NOT felt angry about! Have a blessed day! And to be honest, I like where the meta is right now! I usually chalk up big defeats to bad team tactics on my part, or just mistakes I made in engagements, but I don't pay enough attention to metas to really know :p, but even if I disagree, I'm glad we can agree that we want the best for the community and players!
