Stop balancing around usage rates

Dear Bungie, In regards to your latest twab which announced 15% nerf to sword damage just because 65% of the pve community use them the majority of the time. The usage of swords isn't just tied to damage it's also, at least in my case, the fun factor some people just enjoy using swords not just for the damage but also because it's just fun to hack and slash through enemies. I feel like instead of nerfing sword damage you should have looked at heavy weapons in general and brought their damage up because the way I see it is that we currently have special weapons that completely out class most if not all of our heavy weapons. Some suggestions I would make would be 1. Balance weapons based on their class like heavy against heavy and special against special because aside from exotics no special weapon should out class a heavy weapon 2. Based on current dps numbers weapons like linear fusions (excluding sleeper), whisper, and darcie should be moved to the special weapon since they are pretty much in line with other specials in the game 3. Look at weapon classes like this 1. Primary damage should be geared towards minors and majors 2. Specials geared towards damage against majors and ultras and then 3. Heavies being geared towards damage against ultras and bosses now obviously each will be increasingly effective against the class below it with primaries doing the lowest damage which aside from exotic class weapons is exactly how it should be

    DISCLAIMER ****This one gets long and there are no safe spaces. If you are easily offended by multisyllabic vernacular, opinions, conjecture, and paragraphs-well, skip it*** I agree but not for the same reasons. Allow me to explain I use whatever I want, meta-be-damned. No shade to the meta-monkeys. Do you If ppl can’t or don’t want to experiment or think for themselves because a streamer told them weapon A is the best because it has the lowest ttk in laboratory conditions, hey do you The rest of us creating wacky/fun/terrible builds are cool because, you guessed it, we doin our own thing and having fun in the process. Admittedly, it’s not for everyone. And that’s ok. The problems arise when the meta-monkeys jump off one bandwagon and try to hijack ours, whinging and calling for nerfs because they realize a lot of the under-utilized gear is pretty damn legit. Now y’all messing up our game. That ain’t cool.
