What if I told you that there is an auto rifle... that hasn't been nerfed? What it I told you there's a gun that's on par with Red Death?
What if I told you it doesn't have to reload? What is this mystery gun?
[spoiler]Bad Juju[/spoiler]
So, picture this:
You're playing Control. You and six other teammates are moving in on a zone. There's only one person at the zone: an enemy Warlock. "It's okay," you think "Warlocks have no skill." One of your teammates falls to him. "It's okay, my teammate was a Titan, they have no skill," you think, before another teammate goes down. "It's okay, he was a Hunter, they have no skill," you say out loud to reassure yourself. It's too late. All seven members of your team have been gunned down by this Warlock, all without him having to reload. Bad Juju has struck again.
If you're like me, you get killed once by Bad Juju every twenty seven matches. That's just ridiculous. That is way too overpowered.
And guess what doesn't work on Bad Juju? My Felwinter's Lie. I can't get close enough to the Bad Juju user before they kill me. It's okay, I'll just use Thorn. Damn it! The Bad Juju user just snuck up on me and killed me! Clearly this gun also increases your stealth ability. Wait, I see him. Nova Bomb! You survived? Oh well, Shotgunned! And.... a teabag for not having skill.
You know what else makes Bad Juju overpowered? It has been known to look "badass." Empirical data supports this conclusion. Scientific studies show that when people are faced with something "badass," 70 percent of people stand still in awe, 20 percent run away, and only 20 people can still function.
So, you by now realise that Bad Juju is unfair and takes no skill to use. How can Bungie fix that? First, make Bad Juju fire only three bursts per clip. Second, make it ugly. Like, Gjallarhorn ugly.
[b]TL; DR:[/b] Bad Juju requires no skill. You suck if you use it and should have some skill.
Footnote: don't bother to look at my Grimoire.
