Hand cannons need a huge nerf. Being shot is one thing but getting hit by last word or eyasluna is bullshit. IT'S ALWAYS AN INSTANT KILL. No matter what range most hand cannons are shot from they drop a players shield with one shot to the body or kill if it's a headshot. Snipers are the only thing that should have that capability. I've got the guns and tried them out and I don't like having to use those guns just to play the game. C'mon bungie we've been over this in year 1. Your "nerf" to hand cannons isn't enough. I personally doubt I will play year 3 crucible if thorn comes back. But I guarantee only a 1/4th of the people I play the game with ever set foot in crucible if nothing is done about those "short hand snipers".
