Bungie will never admit they made a mistake so we're stuck with this hot garbage forever.
The last "meta" was a million times better than this shitshow.

As annoying as the shotgun rushers were....at least the game was fun to play. This is shit.
-
No, the last meta resulted in easier wins if you used it. There's a difference.
-
That meta actually had a bigger skillgap. Sidearms require 0 skill whatsoever. Shotguns did require skill.

... please explain
-
Sidearms are just spamming the trigger. No recoil. Shotguns needed to close the gap and have good movement. Literally no skill in sidearms, they have bullet magnetism. You can jump around with them with no disadvantage.
-
One could argue that you can actually have a sidearm battle of skill- the guy who hits crits successfully will win. With shotguns you just pressed the trigger
-
You need one crit for wormwood for optimal ttk. With shotguns fast moving opponents they could juke you out. Only counter to sidearms are sidearms.
-
I'd still beg to differ. Sidearms have an optimal range, same as everything. Engage them outside or inside of that range and you'll win. Bottom line, back in the shotgun meta I was getting shotgunned by bad players and thinking 'you had no right to that, if you didn't have your shotgun you would have lost 6 times over'. That's happening so much less with sidearms in my experience.

No it didn't. All Bungie has done is force everyone into a narrow range of play styles, and made the game eaiser for passive players. Becasuse they no longer have to deal with the pressure of more aggressive styles.
