That's not a valid reason to nerf ICebreaker, in my own opinion. That's not even the reason that's been given for why they are nerfing it. The reason is, yet again, as per usual, crybaby PVPers who can't stand that fact that someone has secondary ammunition when they have to wait for the box cool down in order to feed their overpowered bullshit guns. The crybabies seem to think that because they have to wait an extended period before using their shotgun/fusion rifle/sniper of choice, that everyone else should have to as well, exotic perks be damned.

Agreed. In fact, we're only talking about an increase of about 15 seconds. That's nothing for me. But in pve, I'm dreading when I'll be matched with the guy hiding the back waiting for the next bullet to pop up. Regardless, I understand WHY they want to nerf it, but I don't believe it's the most effective way.

If they really wanted to keep people from camping with Icebreaker, require that the recharge is powered by your body movements. The more you move, shoot other weapons, and get kills, the faster it recharges, up to a limit. Kills with the weapon don't count, obviously. Or, have the weapon overheat if you keep firing while it's charge is low, hitting you with fire damage and causing you to burn for a few seconds. That'll teach rotten campers, and it goes well with the flavor text. This is my point though, I don't work for Bungie and i can immediately come up with 2 relatively simple and cool ideas to change the weapon up without completely breaking it or rendering it useless. Why can't they, the people who are paid the big bucks, come up with simple design tweaks like these? Surely there is a tiny iota of creativity at their office left?
