Removing/reducing bloom on Handcannons and Pulses would add so much life to Crucible

(Console player here). Apologies if this post is beating a dead horse. All things considered, I enjoy Crucible. Many of us enjoy Crucible. But as a member of the community I would like to give my 2 cents to change the Crucible from OK to GREAT. To start, we would enjoy crucible so much more if more weapons were viable. Since the launch of D2, it's been very disheartening to get a new gun to find out it's essentially unusable in the Crucible. There are certainly guns of every category that fall underneath this umbrella (due to fixed rolls), but the ones that stick out the most (to me) are handcannons and pulse rifles. Handcannons got a pretty hefty nerf since D1, both in the shape of damage and accuracy. I think at least one of these changes should be reverted. Either keep the damage of D1 and change the accuracy, or reduce the damage and make them very accurate. Nerfing both damage and accuracy puts players at a disadvantage versus strong mid-range weapons like Uriel's, autos, and many of the SMGs. Pulses also seem to have some kind of cone of accuracy which makes them supremely lackluster to use. Both of these weapons had a reasonable TTK in D1 which made players feel that they could solo-push around maps and not need to rely on teammates to follow up and teamshot. i've been playing Destiny since October 2014 and do not really recall any complaints of constant teamshots. It's all I read about these days. The lack of random rolls could be the culprit here, but a noticeable change to the accuracy of these weapons would be well-received by both PvP and PvE players alike. We're here to have fun. Make HCs and pulses FUN! Please upvote if you agree to show the devs how you feel. Thanks for reading, Winston

  • Accuracy? i have no problem hitting my precision shots even from way past the damage fall off point. If you are having problems with accuracy, that is your aim dude. I hear a lot of people complain about Hand Cannons/pulse rifles being Under-powered, but on PC at least they are balanced fine in the meta, the only issue is that auto rifles dominate over everything so completely until their fall off range which is where Scouts come in. A little nerf on Auto's range to somewhere between the pulse and hand cannon and it should fix crucible. I don't understand why people think hand cannons are bad on Console though considering the Better Devils is literally one of the best weapons in game on PC for any activity including trials. The Long Walk and other 110 RPM can do just as well in the right hands. I personally don't like using a controller, and i feel like that is the issue that consoles have with higher skill tier weapons. Same could be said about Snipers which are also common for PvP on PC.
