Can Lumina get a buff please?

While nearly all ex 150’s have fared well since the change was made to convert them to 140’s there is one outlier. Lumina has been hit particularly hard especially for such a unique and downright fun weapon to use. It fills a niche virtually no other weapon can do and for a fireteam in pvp or pve it’s actually quite useful in the hands of a skilled player; but therein lies the problem. With a mechanic as useful as noble rounds there comes the requirement of getting kills with it. As the hand cannon has roughly 29 metres of effective range it is easily outclassed by most other hand cannons. This includes 180’s such as survivors epitaph which can hit 30-31 metres with an absolute god roll. For lumina which is a static roll to have no way of going beyond 29 metres without a damage buff just hurts. Understandably with witch queen nearly out bungie is looking to the future and a hand cannon from season of opulence might not be the highest on the list of priorities but I feel like if the gun where to be given the slightest of nudges to make it more viable it would make a world of difference. Especially considering previous mentions of “pushes to use exotic primaries in pve” or just the niche it can fill on a team in things like gambit or crucible. Just something to think about. EDIT : as of the most recent TWAB bungie has decided to buff Lumina. Thank you Bungie.

    Yeah bungie 27-30 meters is not enough range, lets make all hand cannons like snipers because god forbid every other weapon can compete with hand cannons. Hand cannons needs to deal max damage anywhere on the map! Who said most engagements are usually around 16 meters? I don’t care! Hand cannons gotta wreck snipers too and this way scouts can just go extinct. So yes bungie buff another hand cannon considering we are already in a hand cannon meta. Anyway lumina is fine, the only reason its not used is because streamers say there are better options and because lets face it, you all follow blindly and cant use your own brains to make your own decisions. Lumina has a build and has enough synergy with warlocks, it fills its role as a support weapon and its still a hand cannon so its still going to wreck if you simply land your shots which lets be real here, hand cannons are just as easy to use as lorenz. Maybe consider spending some time with the weapon and try to master it because I hate using hand cannons but every time I equip one they are just a breeze, that includes lumina and any other hand cannon in the game.
