The last good primary has finally fallen victim to pvp's archenemy: scrubs calling for nerfs.
It's a sad day for Destiny pvp. A moment of silence as we mourn. :'(
Quote from Luke Smith: [i]"We never intended for pvp to be dominated by any single weapon. It's clear that with the recent changes, other primaries just don't measure up. Hats off to our development team for creating this beast. It's sad to say, but the MIDA is just too good. Something must be done. Oh and don't think we've forgotten about snipers either. 1000-yard Stare has seen a spike in usage since the December update. We're working to tone that down a bit as well. Our goal is for all weapons types to have their niche. But this sniper in particular can outperform just about every other secondary in any given situation, and that's simply unacceptable. You can expect heavy reductions to accuracy, and a few other surprises I can't mention yet. We're hoping that by the end of January, pvp will be so diverse, you'll never get killed by the same gun twice in a row. That's always been the goal."[/i]

About time they decided to nerf a weapon that requires roughly 4-5 headshots to kill, in the future, all weapons should require at least 6 headshots and 4 body shots
