Hand Cannons and Bows
The aim assist and bullet magnetism need to be tuned down. Hand cannons will beat scouts beyond 30+ meters because they can aim at the legs or a foot outside of the head, and it all counts as crits. Scouts, if you don't hit the face, you're done.
Now, every single game is horrible players winning every game because they're using Thorn/bow or le Monarch/hand cannon. You're dead before you can get their shield down. Make players have to aim to get kills instead of rewarding them for having terrible aim. Before some tool gets on here to argue, this has already been proven by streamers on YouTube.

The only things that can counter scouts at ranges over 50m are bows or snipers. At closer ranges, scouts have to compete with handcannons, Pulses, and Autos. Even at these close ranges, scouts perform admirably if you land shots. The popularity of snipers and the small map sizes have forced scouts out of the meta. It has very little to do with the "aim assistance of handcannons."

6 RepliesYou want to camp with a scout rifle and get easy kills. Hand cannons are usually used by players who constantly move around the map. You'll rarely see that with a scout. How am I supposed to compete against you with my hand cannon if you're camping in your spawn and I barely have any range?

you want to make enemies. dying of laughter

I use an off brand of these combos. Whim and cantata or whatever. But you see ticuus or wishes roaming around with 120s..... Swapping between them need a higher time to swap compared to alot of other combos

Yup Bungie sucks we know

3 RepliesI may not agree on the bows yet, but on HC's, I'm with you there. Bungie has already admitted, even though the amount of "aim assist per point" is different for every archtype, all handcannons with 140's AT THE TOP have the highest aim assist per point of all primary weapons! this is not a "skillful" weapon, it may get the job done when all you're doing is going for the win, but before anyone calls ANY OTHER WEAPON scummy or hound the OP... ya better take a look at that big iron ya phacking packing, and really ask, "can I aim?".

Edited by Infamous067: 12/31/2023 10:54:29 PMI think the best solution is to nerf quick swapping in general. No reason to nerf bows when they aren’t even meta. Hand cannons will always be meta and people always lose their mind whenever they get nerfed so at this point it’s best to just leave it alone. What does need nerf is being allowed to swap weapons fast, doing so will nerf the BS bow HC combo swap and fix a lot of other issues like players swapping to a shotgun the second you close the gap on them.

The wanna be sweaties of the forum won’t like you pointing out their handcannons are actually crutches
