Handcannons...

Let me preface these sentiments by stating; this is my opinion and that everyone is entitled to theirs. Please, keep in mind while reading this that I play crucible extensively and that I only use handcannons as primaries(mainly legendaries only as of TTK drop.) And that I dont much care for the destroyed exotics discounting The Broken Word- er, I mean The Last Word. Formalities out of the way, I want to ask how the community truely feels about the state of handcannons, phantom bullets and overall tiering in terms of other primary weapons. With the update on its way I was extremely excited for what legendary handcannons were gonna become and was hoping to see more than just 3 other people using legendary cannons in pvp. My honest opinion is that there is not going to be any change with only ammo inventory getting buffed. I dont see why my aim is punished for being on target after firing 2-3 shots... I feel many people realize that equipping a handcannon before a crucible match is like breaking your knee caps before a foot race and thinking you'll do just as good with crutches. To fix the dilemma i frequently experience i think that handcannons should return to year 1 accuracy but retain the abissmal damage drop off. If the gun type rewards accuracy, then why are all my shots not garunteed to be on target? I still do fairly decent in my matches but I've been so frustrated lately that I feel like I need to change my weapons to the meta in order to do well... I think its also hilarious how bungie says they dont want to punish people for using weapons if they arent too powerful, but where are we now? TL,DR: Why are you here if you didn't plan on reading? Editors note(4/13/16): Hawkmoon with accurized ballistics is godly again. It actually goes where I am aiming 99% of the time and can do the bonus damage that 2 shots a good number of people in crucie. Still wish legendaries were more competitive, though. Hope to see you guys in the crucible! I wont go easy on ya!!!
