Does Counterbalance do anything? [video] (Destiny)

Because, even if it feels better, Destiny is a game designed in such a way that it might be objectively worse, such that you'll lose gunfights because of it.

For whatever it's worth, I mostly never feel much of a difference anyway.

If you start losing gunfights when changing weapon perks… then how could you not feel it?

It’s yet another variable that throws doubt into everything. Did I simply get outplayed? Are they using a better weapon? Are they using a better roll of the same weapon? Was lag causing some funny business? Are they using the same gun with the same roll, but with a better Mod than I’m using? Did my gun’s RNG recoil pattern screw me over?

The more RNG-based variables get thrown into the mix, the more difficult it can be to know if how your build is truly performing.
