You won't get vooped nearly as much if you stay near cover and play smart. It's funny. In real life nobody would ever run straight down the middle of every open space in a gunfight, yet that's exactly what most people do in pvp. In D1 I played a lot of Rumble or whatever they called it in D1, and there were always those people trying to ape with juggernaut and a shotgun. I would destroy them with either a sidearm or a fusion. Yet "fusions are op". Maybe if you put some thought into the current meta? Graviton is an issue though. It's a very important gun for solo players, but it's used by pvp noobs because it has no downside. It works optimally at almost any range. I have a solution for that though... Remember the "solo operative' artifact mod? Put an origin perk on the exotics that are such clear outliers in pvp called "solo operative'. If you are running solo it gets it's full power that it has now... If you are in matchmaking make the black hole perk not active. Same with Outbreak's nanites and things like threadlings. Not only would that help pvp, it would tone down the strike playlist.
