Let's talk PvP Weapon Balance (Destiny)

by Kahzgul, Wednesday, June 22, 2016, 16:11 (3019 days ago) @ Cody Miller

The issue is not that special weapons are better. It's that they are dramatically better and it is nearly impossible for a team without special ammo to mount a comeback against a team with special ammo. The gulf is huge. Year 1 had better special vs. primary balance than year 2, while year 2 has better primary vs. primary and special vs. special balance. There is an even better weapon balance model which is attainable.

So you allow people to drop special / heavy ammo if they are killed with a weaker weapon class creating another opportunity to turn games around.

Which is also a thing we all suggested :)
