This happens every time there's a new patch. Everyone tries out new weapons and people like you proclaim that "there's so much diversity!" This meta is more restrictive than the last one, which is saying something. It's literally only Hand cannons as the top tier now, with sidearms the only consistent secondary. (The others won't consistently have ammo in games where you're trading kills... it takes too long to wait for special in games where you need to reinforce the middle of the map on respawn such as control and rift). The patch also reinforced striker voidwalker and Storm as the best subclasses by once again weakening blade. Just wait: it's literally going to be nothing but hand cannons in about a month. Nothing can touch them. I can't wait for this meta to settle and people to play more 3v3 and trials to see just how bad this patch was. Hand cannon and auto buffs=great. Everything else was bad.
