I get what Bungie is trying to do by eliminating special ammo from the start of every 3v3 match in PvP, but this update is pointless and it shows the community that they still can't get their game right. I understand their trying to eliminate getting sniped and shotguned at the start of the match but what they did was opened up doors to TLW and Mida even further. They are trying to promote primary weapon engagement which is good but everyone will go for TLW in close to mid range and MIDA in mid to long range. All they had to do was buff other primaries and fusion rifles. Simple.
On the other hand I propose Bungie undo every nerf on weapons and return to Patch 1.1.1. Yes Suros and fusion rifles were reigning but all they had to do back then was buff pulse rifles, buff handcannon accuracy and buff scout rifles how they are now. I guarantee everything would eventually sort themselves out, and also back then we had a variety of play styles rather than your average Mida/TLW/1000 yard stare roll out.
If Bungie goes back to this then primaries will be dominating rather than special weapons. Auto rifles, pulse rifles and handcannons will be competing, while high range shotguns and fusions will be competing.
Like If you agree!

Verity of play styles? All you could use was a auto rifle because it had the range of a scout and the DPS to kill in almost a half second. The seros era still has me traumatized. This is the most balanced it has been yet. All I believe needs done is stability buff for pulse rifles and legendary handcannons need a reduction in the bloom effect (but the exotic ones can stay the same) and we should have a nice balance. The problem is people are out for blood from the scout rifles actually being a usable weapon in pvp they want it destroyed.
