Buff Exotic Handcannons and Nerf Auto Rifles

-blam!- you, DeeJ. You know you don't care.

Surely the first thing that should be done with PvP is sort out the connetion issues, too many games being ruined by laggy connections that are either lag switching or just really bad connections for anoher reason - why am I being put with players with this connection, and then having my experience lowered (balanced) to compensate for Laggy Laggerson?? You MUST be hearing this, from more than just me. Speak to any regular Trials or IB player and they will report this is the case in so many games EVERY DAY. I love Destiny, have made a 40+ strong clan and we embrace the community aspect of it but this is something that the PvP players in our clan talk about on a daily basis. I'd love to see that this is being noticed and solutions are being iinvestigated.

Reading through these comments I have yet to see a single person ask for a Playlist with more supers. If anything it's a bunch of people asking to remove them

Why don't you offer this kind of questions for pve? It was built to be the core of the game but is a neglected shell! Give us cutscenes, lore that makes sense, answers to the 10000 questions we have. How he heck am I hero for killing a black heart when I have no clue what the darkness is? There is so much here to be explored but we are confined to a linear circle track

In the current meta, the crucible increasingly lacks weapon variety. To solve this overall weapons need a bit of rebalancing, no matter how it's done weather be buff/nerf, fact is that for competitive play (and increasingly, even casual playlists) everyone's favorite thorn and last word dominate by far as the predominantly used weapon. There's enough posts screaming nerf them, or buff auto rifles, so I won't delve into that. But something must be done in that area of balancing, because when everyone is using the same weapon it gets extremely stale extremely quickly. (Whether they're OP or not is a non issue, I take down thorn/last word users just fine; it's the variety) -In short: tweak auto rifles, currently useless and hand canons, currently over used to reach a happy medium. -Note: the mythoclast needs to also be fixed from its decrepit nerfing with the fusion rifle nerf, it was also an effective alternative to hand cannons, but it's become quite unreliable now. -Fusion rifles in general may deserve a second look at, perhaps a mid point between where they currently are and where they were would be a viable alternative to shotguns. We saw this during the accidental un-nerf where many people began to use them. ---- Balancing aside I also think the following would improve the crucible experience: -Spawns in ToO: Often times one spawn side has an undeniable advantage over the other, and so the team that spawns there has a handicap from the beginning, this takes away from the even footing and skill based competition it's supposed to be. For fairness spawns should switch during the game, granting a level playing field. -Overall more playlists, including some non-competitive: we all remember rocket races, grifball, etc from Halo, and the fun they used to be as essentially "screw around" playlists, and while I'm not saying destiny must be made to copy halo, what I am saying is those playlists were fun, and fun is whats important in a game (I think?), and so perhaps similarly unorthodox playlists would be welcomed as periodic appearances. Feel free to agree and disagree on any or all my suggestions, I understand not everyone will hold a similar opinion, and that's fine-- good infact, as diverse opinions are vital to a growing game.
