Subclasses in destiny 2 don't really feel as special as they used to be in D1. Bungie talks about how their vision of allowing people to "make their own killing machine", but the fact that the subclasses are set kind of limit that dream. If we had the ablility to customize our subclasses the way we want then that will make it more satisfying to have a build we enjoy using.
I used to do carries in D1 on xbox, and i remember when all the other good players had their own unique playstyle and used to do good with them. I remember diffizzle using mida with blink, luminosity and wish with nightstalker, my wafflez using golden gun with tripmines, spicy jew going invis, vnostalgic using tlaloc with self rez, and many more that i cant think of right now. When i think about D1, i rememebr actually how diverse it was and how good it felt to use the things you want. When i watch good players now, everything seems the same. No one seems special, its all just arcstriders and dawnblades with icarus dash.
If bungie did a subclass overhaul and allowed us to customize our subclasses, i feel that would be huge for destiny. It may also show love to some perks that are good on subclasses but dont get used simply because the other perks on that tree suck. I would love to see bungie change how subclasses work in this game.

But then it would break their precious PvP, and we all know Bungie can't balance anything worth shit. Long story short, will never happen due to extremely lazy design, staff, and it doesn't make money like EV does.
