Because that is all everyone will use for specials in PvP after the totally unnecessary special ammo nerf.
Bungie is digging their own grave. D2 will be a well-deserved flop if they continue down this road.
Edit: Since a few people seem to think I am whining about this, know that I barely play Crucible and when I do, I use primaries and sidearms. I am simply stating the proven fact that when Bungie nerfs something, something else replaces the nerfed guns as the new meta, and then the community will start complaining about [i]that[/i].

I already only use sidearms. I think it is very sad that it took an ammo change for people to even consider them. Even then, they aren’t using them to use them. They will be using them because they just seem to be 100% allergic to their primary. I stopped PVPing along time ago so I am "meh" on this. But it hurts me to see sidearms be treated so badly. Now, folks will use Ammo Regens & Sidearms, folks will cry bloody murder, thencsome change will happen and now my sidearm will be less reliable in PVE. (Yeah I use em in PVE.) My morale tanks when i think of this.
