I think something that could help with confusion over cause of death, or otherwise undue outrage at 'broken' weapons could be mitigated if a damage report existed.
On death, where it normally says your cause of death (e.g. "Retrofuturist" under the banner) to have a little list.
Something like
-(most recent) Retrofuturist 80 damage
- Spare Rations 40 Damage
- (oldest attack after last health regeneration) Melee Attack 95 Damage
Edit:
Nice to see so much feedback and positivity on this! Hopefully Bungie can see it.
I also thought, perhaps an additional note on the Damage Report could be something to note a damage buff.
So if a weapon or ability had a damage buff on it, it could be annotated by a symbol (*). If, for example, someone had Blessing of Sky with Rampage on an Igneous Hammer then when it appeared in the report it could say
- 136 Igneous Hammer**
In the quest of removing confusion, noting damage buffs would be important. Noting everything and having it all listed would be an overwhelming amount of information, hence a simple asterisk (or other symbol) to help note these buffs.
