Controversial Alternative (Destiny)

This sounds reasonable for PvP. I think it's a horrible idea for PvE.

Snipers are often the go-to weapon for PvE boss fights. This would destroy ammo balance for PvE raiding and more difficult PvE content -- you'd essentially be bringing back the heavy weapon synth problem we saw during Crota hard mode. Not fun.

I think it would work great for PvE too if PvE were tweaked. The idea that building your fireteam for Raids requires certain roles of teammates based on their weapon loadouts seems interesting. You'd have to make special/heavy weapon more available, and you'd have to adjust which weapons do more damage to bosses to compensate for not everyone having certain weapons equipped.
