I wonder why they're so fixated on hand cannons, constantly adding more to the game and making them overpower most other weapons. On PC it's especially bad: HCs are totally crutch weapons. Anyone who pretends it takes some kind of higher skill to strafe and land 3-4 shots probably doesn't get out much or play real sports so they look for a sense of self worth in using overpowered, unbalanced guns in a video game. The development team must really like westerns or something. It's a bit excessive though. Not only do they constantly keep adding hand cannons which arent really all that differentiating from previous hand cannons, but the meta is definitely tuned to make hand cannons a staple weapon... Why though? Why cant other things be really good to use too? I'm not saying I want HCs nerfed I would just like to see the other rifle types be really good too (autos and scouts especially). Every time I'm ahead in a rumble match with halfdan someone will whip out TLW or AOS. They put on their cheese cannon and I put on mine (my smg hits harder and has better recoil than an AR because that makes total sense...). Then it descends into a cheese meta fest. Whether I win or not, it doesnt feel all that great doing it and it's not what I'm looking for / what I came to do. Best thing to do is just stay away from crucible I guess.

Изменено (faust): 6/10/2019 3:41:49 PMPulse rifles are doing well I'll give you that. I can throw bygones on and go from seeming like I've never played the game before to hero in 15 seconds... I just dont feel good or happy doing that. It makes crucible boring and redundant. Essentially pvp boils down to "do what everyone else is doing if you want to have a better experience"... that doesnt follow the purpose or intent of this genre of game. If I wanted a pvp experience where I could just use the same meta as everyone else in order to do well, I'd play one of the other 30 games on the market right now that force essentially the same behavior but execute it a whole lot better. And they're not pretending to be loot based or rpg/mmo like but then descending into another COD multiplayer clone where everyone runs around with the same 4 guns in gold, pink, or purple, or whatever and trolls each other (this is literally d2 pvp right now on PC). Maybe with the supposed scope change to MMO they will change this experience? Dont agree with your second point. Not everything is a crutch. There are plenty of terrible guns you can use on PC that put you at a severe disadvantage in almost every engagement and they really shouldnt.

Regardless, every single weapon type in the franchise has been called a crutch at this point. It’s a dumb argument that reaults in even dumber nerfs.

No I dont agree that it's a "dumb" argument. It might not be your opinion but it's not a dumb argument.

It’s dumb. Every. Single. Weapon type. It’s all a crutch. If anything the argument itself is a “crutch” because people blame the weapon when it’s more likely a problem with themselves.

Yeah yeah whatever.
