[b][u]TL;DR -[/u][/b] [spoiler]Bungie, don't nerf MIDA. Give us better exotic weapons, and/or buff the ones we have now.[/spoiler] [quote]The gun is too perfectly balanced; every part of it - from the flinch, to the archetype itself - is especially well-rounded. It's a wholly frustrating weapon who sees more use than hardly anything else, if you disregard Uriel's. I hate it! [/quote] That's what I used to think. I was extremely lazy and actually never did the MIDA quest until yesterday in the afternoon. So, with me not having the weapon myself, it was very easy to immediately join the hagglers and... well, haggle. Once I got the weapon, I slapped that sucker on and was finally ready to join the "[i]meta[/i]". However, match after match I began to notice a pattern - my performance [u]overall[/u]? It was going down. The moment I equipped my Midnight scout rifle, I was back to my usual efficiency rating of ~2.3-4+. It may just be me and my lackluster Crucible capabilities, but I don't think MIDA is an issue in the way a lot of us are thinking it is. MIDA isn't a gigantic problem - an elephant in the room, if you would - because it's too strong. Rather, MIDA is an anomaly amidst a loot table of overwhelmingly average exotic weapons. MIDA has maintained its status as an exotic scout rifle with a delightful bark and a damn mean bite from Destiny 1, and this alone alienates the weapon from the rest of the pack. [b][i]Edits, m'dudes:[/i][/b] [spoiler][u]Edit 1:[/u] I was expecting a bit of misunderstanding with the comments due to my wonderful attempt at clickbait, so no surprises there. Very glad you guys are understanding what I'm saying and are being outspoken about some of the seemingly less-popular opinions. Let's prevent the death of a great gun! I don't care if it's by clogging up their forums or being the squeaky wheel on Reddit or what-have-you; [i]don't let a BEAUTIFUL Destiny 1 relic be demolished in this new age by the whining minority![/i] [u]Edit 2:[/u] So many downvotes because of the title. I think I'll keep it, though; it seems to keep the trolls away. That which would ensue only chaos and distaste is wholly unnecessary and to it, I say - [i]good riddance![/i] [u]Edit 3:[/u] Moved the [b]TL;DR[/b] to the top to compensate for my stubbornness. I have to chuckle at the impulse downvotes by those who don't read! [u]Edit 4:[/u] I have caved! Title has been changed a bit to accommodate the legitimacy of the post. Thanks all for your input, and thanks for the random downvotes. ;D[/spoiler] [spoiler]*giraffe noise*[/spoiler]
