I'm not totally sure I understand what you just said but... I got 11 Doctrines and not a single one had counterbalance. I've already got an epic Arminius but it's [b]ugly[/b]. I've been going flawless for weeks for a blacker AR and I'm sick of it. The struggle against lag and the (very) rare cheater is all too real. 19 lighthouse trips and all I got was some slightly tasteless evening wear. My stats show that I [i]definitely [/i]carry my own weight but my performance fluctuates a bit and I feel like I have to be carried by stronger players. It's gotten boring and it feels like a titanic waste of my time. This post is a suggestion to improve the RNG rewards with more RNG, [i]just way Bungie likes it[/i]. It'd also be the weakest form of reforging in the game. It should be the same for the raid guns IMO. The old raid/trials guns were great with their set perks; players didn't have to pass layers and layers of RNG to be rewarded and nobody complained.

Here is an analogy for what you want. You are told if you can stand on one leg for one minute you get an icecream. You do that a few times and are sick of the icecream. So you stand on one leg again then say you want to turn your ice cream into sprinkles even through that's not what you were told you are getting

I never got ice cream. I got an empty cone. The Doctrine is a horrible weapon without Counterbalance. I've been standing on my leg for weeks. That's BS and you know it.
