Actually Bungie nerfs on usage stats , see DMT I am sure the comments play a part, but they nerf some weapons no one has a problem with , like Lament

it shouldn't get nerfed because it hasnt even been the top weapon used in trials nor is it the meta. every weekend rose and khvostov dwarf its gun usage because they are better weapons. go look for yourself https://destinytracker.com/destiny-2/db/insights
