Every gun of that archetype was equal, every rerolled God level shotgun was equal. Every rerolled God level sniper was equal. But fusion rifles weren't. Auto rifles weren't. It didn't matter how much you rerolled them, they still stood no chance against The god rolled pulse/handcanons. Bungie was right in removing some old perks that made guns overpowered. Bungie was right in their attempt to balance weapons in crucible through the adjustment of time to kill, base damage, etc. bungie was wrong in removing reforging. Reforging was a scape goat that not only looked like bungie took a big step to making the crucible playable (which it didn't do) but to get people to continue grinding for that decently rolled weapon. Edit: didn't finish what I was saying
