This patch had a lot of buffs, the nerfs were needed in this case because the devs don't want this to be a CoD game. If everything would have been buffed to the clever dragon then this game would be way too fast.

It was a good speed before. They are slowing it down way to much. Skirmish, Salvage, and doubles go to time limit 4 times out of 5 now. It's way to slow. 6s feel like reload simulator...secondary may not even exist anymore and before you accuse me of being a shotgun primary...shotguns are one of my lowest kill counts. I'm a sniper user and I don't even like the special economy change. I mean great you made primarys decent again...not great...decent, but they forced people to use them now. The player dropoff has never been this harsh after a patch....get the message bungie.

You said it yourself right there, the problem isn't nerfing things right now. The problem is the special ammo. No special=passive game play=slow games.
