Sage and Jon from bungie already stated why they made the change.
They both went on to say that the main reason for them giving a shorter time limit go symbiote was because it was literally the only thing gunslingers used. They wanted to provide the game with more choices rather than having ONE clear choice for pvp.
Before you say "why can't they let me play the way I want" sage also addressed this, and said it is because we want all players to play how they want that the change was made, so not ONE armor or piece dominates the subclass.

Nerfing one item (that isn't even OP) to make other options viable is bad practice. If it is too powerful, then ok. do what you need to.
-
It was too powerful, which is why it was changed, it was backed up by all the data they had, more than 50% of hunters used this piece in pvp. Yes, it was over powered in that regard
-
When 50% of hunters used it, spine didn't give a second grenade and that's the only other useful PvP gunslinger exotic
-
I guess my point is the number of people using it shouldn't matter. Now if the number of people using it were constantly on top of the leader boards, then I get it. It is simply my opinion. Used often doesn't always = over powered.

Okay. You don't get it and just want to complain. Enjoy the day
