No no no we complained about one gun, "suros can kill me from a mile away wtf bungie" Bungie heard "hey bungie nerf auto rifles so hard that you might as well use a wet noodle to kill stuff with." Thats when the fact that hand cannons and fusions were great was known by all. But one fusion rifle was being used a little too well. PLAN C. The community asked "hey bungie can you pull back on the damage of plan c. Im getting one shot by it from six miles away" And then bungie heard "We funking hate fusions nerf them into the ground so its like they never existed" Long story short bungie doesn't know how to do a light nerf. They only look at numbers. The fact that sunbreakers and bladedancers still haven't been fixed, or the fact that they couldn't figure out how to lightly nerf firebolts without breaking them shows you how bad they are at fixing things.
