Remember how good it used to be?! It’s not a laser anymore, it’s just a tickling feather, remember when it killed people in 1 second flat?! This is D2s problem, the TTK, do you see how fast people died after Osiris DLC when this thing was used? Well that solved the problem, and what did they do? They nerfed the only good thing in this game. We also need to nerf fusion rifles because rocket launchers and swords can’t compete. Also, bring back heavy machine guns!

So, here we are again. Grab a drink, take a seat, and lets talk about a thing or two. First thing we need to clear up is that the Lens was never nerfed; a nerf means they designed it one way, realized it was working too well, and removed some of it's power. No, the Lens was broken when it went live, and wasn't functioning appropriately from minute 1. The hot fix for it was literally that: a fix. It now is in line with Cold Heart, which is what should be expected. Remember the Thunderlord elemental copies? None of them killed faster, they just did different things, and the same is true here. Secondly, the Lens wasn't a 'fun' gun, it quite literally broke an entire aspect of the game. I got lucky and got mine in the first hour, and captured a lot of game footage. From that aspect, I can comforably say, nothing could stand up to it, and that is the only reason it was 'fun' to use. If it and everything else were balanced on the same level of TTK that the Lance and Wing have, it would just be another gun again, like it is now. Let's face it: the only 'amazing' thing about it was that it was both overpowered in the balance scheme, and not everyone had one up until Xur arrived that Friday. Instead of focusing on a novelty, Bungie really needs to address the TTK balance of the game for all the guns, not just a few hand picked exotics. Once they unify things mostly, then we can get down to having debates over what needs a boost and what doesn't. Until then, basically everything needs a buff.
