Destiny 1: A space loot shooter with space magic built around PvE co-op play that makes you feel massively powerful, particularly if RNG was in your favour. Destiny 2: A space loot shooter with occasional space magic built around PvP that requires strict balance so no one person or class feels powerful. RNG no longer needs to be in your favour because everything is so balanced. This is an observation and not a criticism. I think it may be quite accurate. Please feel free to constructively agree or disagree below. And remember some will think one premise is better than the other. Personally I think PvP balance should be separated from PvE balance because, let's face it, PvE is easy to balance.
