Bungie just needs to reduce ALL ability potency and uptime like they had it back during checkmate. Checkmate was hands down the most consistent fun I have had in D2 pvp. Every class has a flavor of bs and ohk ability these days or a way to just completely disengage from any mistake on the user's positioning or losing an active gunfight. If people want harder hitting abilities or more uptime they should have to run an exotic setup specifically for that, at the cost of not being able to use nuetral game exotics like speed boots. Also, get rid of special ammo off of walls, so people aren't just camping around hoarding special for an entire match. People shouldn't be going entire matches getting kills with just abilities and special with no downsides. Also have special ammo meter progress load ammo straight into the mag or reserves again - unless someone can prove that having the ammo drop on the ground and need to be fetched is healthier balance wise.

Bring back "Hardware" and put it in regular rotation. Then people could play with no ability crutch at all.

As a warlock main, yeah it’s super cheesy. Also as a warlock main, I better not see it get nerfed until bungie nerfs the heck out of invisibility hunters and hunters spamming suspend with dodge on demand. No lie, this week in trials has been one of the most oppressive weekends I’ve ever had and all I saw this weekend was invis spamming hunters and suspend hunters with the occasional strand warlock. The few times I saw titans they were in groups just spamming barriers on the point and buffing each other to ridiculous levels. I saw someone on the forums complain about void warlocks but I saw one warlock spamming those nades out of my 50+ games of trials and he was easy to shake off. Those grenades will never hit you if you simply keep moving. So yeah, no nerfing strand warlocks until every other BS gets nerfed alongside it. It’s about time bungie does their job and start balancing pvp for once.

tbf they just need to buff the shaxx debuf inside crucible, make that every single ability in the game (outside supers) will take double the time or have a fixed cooldown inside pvp

Complaining about an enemy using an ability that by definition can't kill you 🤣. And there are counters to it that are a 100% guarantee of beating it. BTW I love it when you all chase me around a corner when I am in weavewalk.

3/5 subclasses have a direct counter to it. It’s a good ability but it’s stoppable.

You mean like going in and out of invis... Or having a full time overshield?

Hmm void hunter asking for a warlock nerf… That’s not gonna go down well🤣

Yeah nerf hunters first. I’m a top pvp player and very rare I see a weavewalker do anything special. It’s always hunters that can turn a whole game around just by dodging and getting full health, leaving a clone, throwing a smoke with a scatter nade

Leave my new crutch alone plz 😭
