It's always something. Always something considered over powered. And the solution everyone jumps to is to nerf that thing. [i]Nerf, nerf, nerf[/i]. It will just make people target the weapons/abilities which have been left untouched because they were fine before the nerfing of their competitors. [spoiler]An example: MIDA Multitool. Throughout year 1, it was considered underwhelming. Some thought it needed a buff. It was just an average scout which made you run fast. Bungie nerf handcannons and buff pulses, scouts and autos in the 2.0 update. MIDA is basically unchanged. Scouts start to get popular, people request a year 2 variant of MIDA Multitool. They get it. Everyone snatches it as soon as possible and go straight into the crucible with it. A sudden spike in usage of the Multitool causes some to assume it is over powered, just because it killed them in PvP. Everyone hops on the band wagon and begin calling for the MIDA to be nerfed. It's not killing any faster than before, but because it is being frequently used people just assume it is more powerful than it needs to be. The sole reason people think it's overpowered is because they got its previous competitors nerfed. Wipe out the wolf, and the deer will thrive. Too many deer become a problem, so a cull might be a solution, or, just reintroduce the wolf. [/spoiler] So I request this. Rather than reducing the power of everything until they are near useless, I suggest asking Bungie to [i]buff the things which can't compete with the "overpowered" guns/abilities[/i]. [b]Buff[/b] fusion rifles, sidearms and shotguns. Snipers are no longer overpowered. [b]Buff[/b] Voidwalker, Defender, Bladedancer and Sunbreaker. Sunsingers and Stormcallers are no longer overpowered. [b]Buff[/b] low/medium RoF auto rifles. High RoF autos (DoP) are no longer overpowered. Disagree if you will, just don't use your anonymity as a means to allow for a derogatory or violent response. Edit: [spoiler]Concerns over power creep: there should always be nerfs to prevent this, we don't want CoD style ttk's in Destiny, but this post aimed to show the crippling effect [i]too many nerfs[/i] are having on the game. It's startling to me to hear people think snipers are overpowered as nobody really thought so until shotguns were nerfed, for example. Here's hoping they don't nerf things too harshly in the update, but we'll all find out later on today. Thanks for all of the kind responses, it's been great reading all of your replies :)[/spoiler]
