I think this is because of the insane recoil difference between pc and console. Hand cannons are still decent on pc! But on console- you made them even worse than what they were. (Primarily 110,40,50).
Dont get me wrong the animation change was great. Its one of those take a step forward 2 steps back sorta thing.
A hand cannon can no longer compete with a pulse rifle even at erentil range. The dropoff is insane. Especially with the introduction of widows court.
Solution: decrease the range dropoff.
Edit: I also believe that bungie should stop making balances based on both platforms. It doesn't work. Each plays wayy differently.

just like the recoil change was meant for console and not pc, if we do this can we please revert the recoil change on mouse and keyboard?
