There are countless posts on the forums about how this patch, made to balance the game, came and somehow ruined the game. I'm here to add my input to that huge pile.
Here we go:
Alright, I'm a Crucible Player, who runs strikes in his free time and plays Trials on the weekends. Majority of the people I play with play this game religiously, and hate to see this game become more and more unbearable. The recent patch came out and somehow made the game worse off than it was before. The only things that really needed to be touched or balanced slightly were the following: Thunderstrike, Skip Grenades, Smoke Grenades, Clever Dragon, Matador, and most of all Skorri. All that was required to "fix" these issues were: Thunderstrike doing mildly less damage after it's non-amplitude range, Skip Grenades not tracking as severely or doing less damage, Smoke Grenades either have less damage over time due to poison or slowing you down less, Clever Dragon having a range reduction (Somewhere around Eyasluna/Palindrome range), Matador having slightly less range and impact with a slower rate of fire, and Skorri building abilities faster instead of super. I could even live without the smoke changes, but none the less, there were only a few things that needed touching. I'm not sure who complained about Outbreak Prime doing extra damage to Bubbles, or Throwing Knifes not doing Solar Damage but those are definitely not anywhere near the issues the things I listed previously were. One of you decided to remove special ammo upon death, instead of just reducing the amount of ammo you can hold in your secondary in Crucible. I just don't get it.
It seems like you're ignoring the problems and just trying to band-aid up the small holes that no one cares about. Before releasing a patch, you should contact the YouTubers, the Streamers, and the people who play your game religiously, instead of trying to work it out yourselves. I'm really hoping you guys are listening to the community, and try to fix some of the stuff you broke in this last patch, otherwise you're going to lose the die hard players.
Just in case:
If you're a PvE Player who thinks PvP is ruining the game, I'm letting you know that you, sir, are completely wrong. PvP is the only content of the game that keeps Destiny alive. The only PvE content left are the weekly NightFall and the Weekly Heroic Strikes, there's only so many times you can run through a raid until you have all the gear it gives you. There's nothing else to keep it fresh. Until the upcoming update comes out bringing us more things to do, that is.

Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one and yours stinks to high hell.

No pvp is the sole reason for the destruction of this game
