Enough with the pulse rifles.
Now.
Announce how you're changing the meta so we at least make it back to the Dreadnaught.
[spoiler]You don't have to equalize usage. When [u]there are too many[/u] [b]pulses[/b], autos, and scouts [u][b]no one moves[/b][/u]. When people crouch spam with subs and autos there's no reason to learn to aim. [/spoiler]
[spoiler]There's one primary with a skill ceiling that creates a spectrum of player skill. It promotes good movement, positioning, ranging, aiming, timing... All things that lend themselves to other primary weapons. It is the indisputable choice of the most ardent Crucible players even when it's not your defined meta. (Save the ones that move to what ever cheese they can) Enough is enough.
[b]Precision weaponry[/b] [u]used correctly[/u] [b]should always have a slight, but definitive edge[/b] as the basis of every meta.[/spoiler]
[u]Weapon variety is good[/u] and I'm glad we have arrived at a place where so much is viable.
But pulses are exceedingly strong, whether you feel things like Elsie's or Bygones are out of band or not. The game is slowing to a crawl.
[b]IT'S NOT MAKING CASUALS PLAY MORE.[/b]
Casuals make demands and it doesn't change how often they play cause they were never inclined to improve in the first place. That's what makes them casual.
Return back to the design philosophy the PvP Strike Team had been working on before TFS dropped.
What happened to all the lessons learned from limiting abilities and special? [b]PEOPLE WERE HAVING PRIMARY GUN FIGHTS AGAIN. [/b] With plenty of special without starting every fight with an ability.
Not another damn buff to Titan for the foreseeable future. They are plenty strong. They don't make proper builds and play into them. It's not forcing people to switch from Hunter, it's just pissing off the largest remaining portion of a dwindling pvp population.
The disparity between what one class can do from the next is blatant. Find another way to encourage diversity. You can't make these things any more FREEEEEEEE.

Casuals don't demand anything. Casuals don't know forums exist. Casuals don't care enough to delve deeper, if they're not having fun they play another game, read a book, go to sleep, go for a walk, go to the pub. If you want to see real casuals drop your power to 1750 & go run some nightfalls. I did that today, OMFG, guys running triple grenade launchers, triple snipers, guys with 6 stats all at 39, guys who get lost, guys who die & just leave, guys who genuinely can't understand how their glaive won't kill the barrier champ & despite it insta killing them keep respawning & repeating. Try running comp on a new account, I just did, guys who have meta loadouts but can't aim, guys who can aim but can't move, guys who go 0.18 & then apologize because they only play a few hours every weekend & are exhausted from working 90hr weeks. People complaining about meta guns on a forum, like you, are by definition very far from casual.
