Because Bungie logic is simple: If you're not killing something with a sniper, shotgun, or high rof pulse rifle you're doing it wrong. Doing things that "take skill" are all OP because once you get that skill you are OP. Bungie can't let you be OP (unless it's with one of the aforementioned weapon types) because if you're too good you might become better than the streamers who Bungie caters their game for. Bottom line, this game is made for the top 1% and the nerfs are a way to keep us in check. [spoiler]just like damage ref, random lag, and predetermined match outcomes[/spoiler]
