Here is a weapon and catalyst that anyone can get and it works, so classic Bungie nerf it to death. Players are sick of these selective knee jerk responses, no wonder player count down one more irritant.
Hand cannons for a long time have been generally way over the top, But Bungie and certain streamers love them so no action.

Truly a classic. Hand cannons, which take a significant amount of work to get results with, are too strong, but lance with absolutely no effort required for a very competitive ttk and infinite range just "works." They didn't neuter it. It's still very good. Just no longer the easiest gun in the game in lower/middle elo on roller.
