Destiny Weapons Changes = Attempt to Close the Skill Gap
Seems like it was a patch to just appease all the awful PvP players. By eliminating Final Round, nerfing Thorn and TLW, and buffing low skill auto rifles: it seems that Destiny is trying to lengthen the TTK in any PvP battle to close the skill gap. Skilled players should be able to achieve a very quick TTK with precision hits instead of holding the trigger down and hip firing a 50 round auto rifle magazine at someone.
It seems they are taking the skill and strategy out of PvP and rewarding terrible players by getting rid of any perks and guns that stop someone from running around like an idiot spraying bullets and blink shot gunning. There is no need for good tactical awareness, good aim and control, or a sound PvP strategy once this update comes into effect.
Edit 1: TTK should be consistent at respective ranges for weapon classes. An auto rifle should not kill someone 100 m away using a scout rifle, a hand cannon should probably still beat an auto rifle of the hand cannon lands a couple precision hits.
Edit 2: Give it 3 months and there will be a "re-buff" movement or another endless series of "nerf" this because it's a good gun posts.
Feel free to share your own opinions or hate on mine, I don't really care. I can debate anyone all day.

5 RepliesEdited by Fur Hammerlock: 7/17/2015 2:07:35 AMTo be honest this isn't really decreasing the skill gap at all. Skill Gap in Destiny comes in to three equations, and that's - Precision Accuracy - Agility/Movement - Super Usage You trying to base your entire thesis on the fact that Thorn, TLW & Final Round Snipers were skillful weapons was horribly flawed. Those three outliners, they were toxic for The Crucible. The first two of those three weapons created such a boring, and skill-less environment that Crucible just lost it's luster. Try to argue that I'm wrong, go ahead. The posted statistics don't lie son. If people DO decide to use Auto Rifles, it'll be very clear what wins - the people that go for headshots, or the people that go for body shots/hip fire. Lastly, your PvP stats are garbage. Your Warlock (most played character) has 435 games of Crucible, in which out of so few games and kills/deaths - you've only attained a 1.38 average kd. Oh, and your MOST USED WEAPON IS THORN. LOL
