LFG? That's a toxic group to begin with.
My clan has been running all Hunter subs in our Raids and Hunters in any VoG is fantastic with BB, GG has been popular lately also. I think your experience with LFG is not a good basis for an opinion.
It's a fact that weapon nerfs, on weapons that aren't broken, hurt sherpa runs, constrict build diversity, and hurt the general player experience.
