Handcannons...

Let me preface these sentiments by stating; this is my opinion and that everyone is entitled to theirs. Please, keep in mind while reading this that I play crucible extensively and that I only use handcannons as primaries(mainly legendaries only as of TTK drop.) And that I dont much care for the destroyed exotics discounting The Broken Word- er, I mean The Last Word. Formalities out of the way, I want to ask how the community truely feels about the state of handcannons, phantom bullets and overall tiering in terms of other primary weapons. With the update on its way I was extremely excited for what legendary handcannons were gonna become and was hoping to see more than just 3 other people using legendary cannons in pvp. My honest opinion is that there is not going to be any change with only ammo inventory getting buffed. I dont see why my aim is punished for being on target after firing 2-3 shots... I feel many people realize that equipping a handcannon before a crucible match is like breaking your knee caps before a foot race and thinking you'll do just as good with crutches. To fix the dilemma i frequently experience i think that handcannons should return to year 1 accuracy but retain the abissmal damage drop off. If the gun type rewards accuracy, then why are all my shots not garunteed to be on target? I still do fairly decent in my matches but I've been so frustrated lately that I feel like I need to change my weapons to the meta in order to do well... I think its also hilarious how bungie says they dont want to punish people for using weapons if they arent too powerful, but where are we now? TL,DR: Why are you here if you didn't plan on reading? Editors note(4/13/16): Hawkmoon with accurized ballistics is godly again. It actually goes where I am aiming 99% of the time and can do the bonus damage that 2 shots a good number of people in crucie. Still wish legendaries were more competitive, though. Hope to see you guys in the crucible! I wont go easy on ya!!!

    Seems like everyone hates small hit box and phantom bullets...perfect example of how bungie always over nerfs and under buffs lol... remember the .04 percent buff to autos lol...can't stand all the tons and tons and tons of nerfs we had already...it makes me sick... year 1 was amazing and year 2 is fun but all guns seem so weak compared to year 1.... if u took a break a year ago and came back today u would ask wtf happened to Pvp...
