Remember how good it used to be?! It’s not a laser anymore, it’s just a tickling feather, remember when it killed people in 1 second flat?! This is D2s problem, the TTK, do you see how fast people died after Osiris DLC when this thing was used? Well that solved the problem, and what did they do? They nerfed the only good thing in this game. We also need to nerf fusion rifles because rocket launchers and swords can’t compete. Also, bring back heavy machine guns!

This is the issue with the pendulum of buffs and nerfs. Players, whether they admit it or not, like to use OP things. This is especially true in PvP. It isn't because they have a god-complex and want to feel powerful for some deep reason like a lot of people suggest. It's because it's just plain fun. Old school Thorn, Hawkmoon, TLW, and Vex were really fun to use. Did it take skill? Not really. But, everyone had access to them for the most part so the playing field was more or less level. Now, you take those same people and when they die to (weapon x) repeatedly as more and more people obtain the weapon, they suddenly have a massive issue with it and want it nerfed. There are probably a handful of people out there who genuinely care about well balanced PvP. The rest of the players want to have their cake and eat it too. They'd gladly use an OP weapon for 10 matches straight and crush with it, then get facerolled one match and run to the forums to whine about it. Bungie should have never given in to the numerous cries for buffs and nerfs over the years. Destiny 1 PvP shifted from fun to aggravating because Bungie caved numerous times and kept changing their vision of PvP.
