Crucible seems fine. At least to me and my group. Didn't have any complaints when Pulse rifles where the top of the food chain either. Before that, it seemed like everyone had thorn and a shotty. [spoiler]people migrate to what is popular, making these choices even more prevalent. Some weapons really are better than others...but that hasn't been the case since the mythoclast. Thorn came close though...that was pretty ridiculous. Perception drives the meta more than anything else these days. Grab a fusion rifle and a good med. Impact auto like hard light. Try them. See if your overall average kd drops a bit and recovers...or straight nosedives. You tell me if the meta is born from op weapons.[/spoiler]
