You can't balance due to the best players in the game. It's simply not fair to take someone like TrueVanguard, Luminosity, Murdaro, KJHovey or any other A+++ player and balance every weapon based on their performance. I am personally not very good at crucible and find sniper rifles difficult for a number of reason; I use look sensitivity 10 and have an Elite Controller with aggressive look settings. Snipping is way too hard in crucible, so I don't them. However, I am very good at raiding. Does that mean that Bungie should decrease damage values of weapons that I use for raids? Would make as much sense as balancing weapons that people with 2.0+ k/d's use.
