How about just increasing the drop rate for ammo? Anyone care to tell me why this is a worse idea than bringing back Ammo Synths?
Just to mention, Heavy Ammo Synths in D1 are the only synth people talk about when playing because they're the only ones that mattered, so when you bring up a topic about Ammo Synths in general, people are going to assume you mean Power Synths. So while you're right about not mentioning power ammo, you also didn't mention primary/elemental ammo either, which leads to people's back lash about power ammo.
Firstly, there are some ammo bugs that make it so certain players don't have ammo drops or not enough to keep the fight going. Yes, bugs need to be fixed. But if they aren't bugs like some of the community thinks they are, then Bungie should increase the drop rate of ammo. From my experience, when the ammo drops are working as intended, as long as you're not missing most of your shots on aliens or not just aiming for body shots on them, you should never run out of ammo.
Secondly, there are reasons as the why we don't have ammo synths anymore. Power Ammo drops more frequently than it's counterpart (Heavy Ammo) did in Destiny 1. Every major (enemies with a yellow health bar) drops Power ammo upon dying these days, so there's no need for Power Ammo Synths. As for the reasons mentioned in my first point, Primary and Elemental Synths aren't need either if you're shooting your target and not wasting ammo. Another reason we don't have synths is because of the waste of space it'd take in the game; our vaults and personal inventory.
The only way I see ammo synths coming back would be if Bungie made ammo packs rarely drop, (which would make sense considering how none of the aliens use our guns or ammunition) forcing us to spend our unused glimmer on them so we can be battle ready with a bunch of synths on our Guardians. This would slow down game play though and I don't think the community as a whole would appreciate this.
Just to restate my main point: I'm fine with a small increase to ammo drops, but not fine with ammo synths being brought back.

How would it slow down game play. It would not. Some raid groups take restroom breaks or whatever and if a cooldown timer is needed the so be it. The best raid groups don’t wait around for the timer to reset. That’s just silly. Making ammo drop frequently isn’t a solution. Synths are need. You can only have a certain amount of ammo. And then there’s a lot laying on the ground. That’s useless. Let us take synths so we can Instantly Refill our weapons in those battles where we are up against it and those synths save the encounter or team respawns. Synths are definitely needed to come back. Bungie needs to see that they are a necessity and not a luxury.

Edited by Zenith: 9/29/2017 6:16:48 PMI said it would slow down game play because if you had to open your inventory every time you ran out of ammunition to pop an ammo synth, it would definitely slow game play. I said that in my statement about if there were no ammo drops from aliens. I'm fine if they added them back into the game, but didn't let players buy them or hold onto stacks. Let me explain. Ammo drops are all around on the ground right? You're guns are full of ammo, but you can automatically pick up one of each ammo pack to automatically use later when your gun reaches the halfway point for ammo. Your guardian would take a little it longer to reload, maybe shown in a slightly different reload animation. This enables you to carry more ammo for everything, while not letting you stack power ammo like back in the D1 days. This probably wouldn't be easy to implement into the game though. EDIT: Awful idea now that I've thought over it more. Disregard.
