Along with the special ammo changes... (Destiny)

Having had some time to ingest the new heavy ammo changes, I actually think there's more reason to use Machine Guns. The fact that you can't drop a bunch of new rockets to the guy that just blew you up with one means you aren't punishing your team as much for the mistake of dying with 90 bullets in your LMG; it's not like you were keeping the ammo before the change, and people can't switch to a Truth or Ghorn as easily now (i.e. after they die, or when things die down 40 seconds after the initial spawn) to exploit heavy ammo, so your likelihood of seeing an OP missile machine are lower. If you play with a group, I would think an ideal ratio now would be 2:1 lmg's to rocket launchers, whereas before I would have recommended 1:1.
