Power creep. For a healthy game to continue they have to keep things somewhat balanced.

The. “Fun” isn’t when you use the most powerful or do the most powerful thing. The fun is when you are of high enough skill and level that you can min max and make powerful builds, yet still be challenged by the content.

Power creep is why. As a hunter player in pvp prismatic hunter is really strong. The "crying" might be justified. The clone alone does too many things, pings radar, spawns threadlings and it's an aim assist black hole making it a reliable source for cover. It pinging radar is fine, smoke bomb does that too. It spawning threadlings also isnt that bad, its more annoying in the strand subclass but in prismatic its not the worst. The biggest problem is the aim assist/hit box of the clone. If you're in a gun fight with a hunter and they clone dodge your chances of winning that gun fight has gone down significantly even if you are the better shot and you shot them first. I've won so many fights that I had no business winning just by using the clone as cover. I would suggest a change to the way the aim assist works on the clone instead of it being an aim assist blackhole for the whole duration the clone is out, tone down the aim assist and turn it on just for the beginning of the clones duration, similar to how tether works where it messes with your aim when the tether connects but you get it back (and more often than not kill the hunter who tethered you). That way the clone can be more like a decoy instead of what it is now and if its going to be more decoy like maybe it doesnt need to spawn threadlings at base (make that new exotic the only source for threadlings on the clone). Swarms seem fine it's just in combination with smoke bomb it's a deadly combo but two abilities did get used, so maybe change the uptime on them. Either a cooldown increase or make them not last as long on the field.

Buffs happen all the time too. They're always refreshing the meta.

It's probably easier to nerf than it is to buff. Something something power creep.

Yeah titans just seem flat this season . Played Ajax in FD and the character is alot more interesting to play .

Man so many things been nerfed. Quicksilver was my best buddy in PvP/PvE. Now it sucks.

bro the problem wasnt warlock or titans kits hunter was literally the best class in the game because of one exotic. ONE.

I agree. Short cooldowns with minimal damage across the board.

Because, unfortunately, buffing everything can cause as many problems as nerfing everything. What we need is a middle ground on balance, which Bungie sucks at--big time. Most of the time, their nerfs are the equivalent of a sledgehammer to the kneecaps, or a bullet in the foot. They hardly ever add anything to compensate for the nerfs. Young Ahamkara's Spine and Starfire Protocol are a testament to that. Both of those got massive nerfs, with nothing added to them to really balance them out.

Everyone knows "It's Nerf or Nothin"

[quote]Why is it that when people cry the hardest, stuff in pvp always gets nerfed? Instead of nerfing they could buff titan and warlocks prismatic kits abit so they are in line with hunters? Why does the fun always have to be taken out of this game?[/quote] To increase grind/playtime, forced objectives that nobody likes. I'm glad I didn't buy TFS and still have access to pvp only and can raise season rank, probably will wait till all 3 episodes are out and see what the true expansion is. Fomo doesn't mean anything in destiny anymore

"Always" ????? With a statement like this....You've obviously not been paying attention to changes over the past decade. You should know by now these things run in cycles. Bungie moves the meta around....be it weapons or builds. Sometimes it's not about "meta" but about on - field math. For example.....Titan mains no longer have exclusive rights to CQ benefits. We both know that's true. So.....adapt. It's good for you. Keep you fresh instead of stale & predictable.

Hear hear. I'm so tired of how it's always a matter of time before something goes from feeling good to play to crap. Nothing is allowed to be fun in this game and it's so exhausting.

Because nerfing is alot easier than real balancing Balance is nothing being unbeatable by something else, the way Bungie does it , they just keep cuting the tallest weeds, resulting in an endless meta cycle

Because hunters are an outlier. It’s easier and more safe to nerf hunters than to buff everything else

Because of all the crying. I got beat in trials it’s not that I suck. It’s the weapons, cheaters, etc
