PS HMGs in crimson days is wtf tier (Destiny)

I love hmgs but at the same time I think they are terrible from a pvp balance perspective. I always thought they invalidated the other heavy options in D1 for crucible and it seems they are doing the same here.

Interesting. My personal experience is completely reversed. I started using a Rocket Launcher again (I've had HMGs in my heavy slot almost exclusively in Crucible since Thunderlord dropped) during Crimson Days, and have been getting 2-4 kills per heavy grab (not every time, I guess - but most times). And twice yesterday, I traded in 1v1s with me using Blast Furnace while my opponent used Hammerhead.

HMGs are super-deadly in the right hands... but at my skill level, I guess, those hands are not universal.
