The thing that bothers me the most is Bungie's "season philosophy" for weapons. They think every weapon type should have a time where it dominates, which is retarded.
If you want to not be at a disadvantage, you have to run Last Word/MIDA for primary and CTD/1000YS for your secondary.
Four. Four guns that are having their "season" while everything else gets shit on. Great.

Edited by CatMan: 1/14/2016 4:33:39 PMSo true. Wonder what's next
-
It will probably circle back to auto rifles.
-
I quit tho so I won't know if the next balance will be good
-
Hope so, actually miss pulse rifles tho

Seriously. The rotating meta philosophy to weapon balance is a farce. It doesn't "keep things fresh" (Cozmo), it simply extends the grind and furthers players' disconnect from the game.

This. This is exactly what I've been saying. In their quest to "spice up" our weapon variety, Bungie have only created an environment where certain weapons can excel. I prefer MIDA. I've preferred MIDA since mid-Year 1. I rarely saw it in the Crucible (outside of using it myself) and it was even rarer to find someone who could use it as well as I could (not to brag or anything, just making a point). I used MIDA when Pulse Rifles were the seasonal weapon. I used MIDA when Hand Cannons were supposed to be good. I used MIDA [i]all the time[/i] because that's what I liked. Unless I was using another exotic, in which case I had a couple other Scouts with Third Eye that I used. Now I see MIDA everywhere. (I want to be a special snowflake again!) I keep saying that if Bungie would just find their balance and tweak individual weapons as needed, people would try everything. They'd check out all the weapon classes because they'd all have pros and cons related to their type. But best of all, everyone would be able to use what they like without being at a terrible disadvantage. ALSO: there's the fact that everyone would have a unique loadout suited[i] to their play-style[/i], which would actually level the playing field far more effectively than constant weapon-tuning ever could. All because everyone would have something that they could excel with.
