The Nerf that Wasn't (Destiny)

by Revenant1988 , How do I forum?, Friday, October 17, 2014, 08:29 (3928 days ago) @ someotherguy

The AR nerf easn't really a nerf so much as a playstyle adjustment.

Bingo.

My play style is Scout Rifles and Shotguns. Pre-patch, I avoided SRs because it felt like I couldn't keep up with them, so I had to use an AR. I did fine with that for a while.

But since the patch and giving SRs another go, I find that they are actually usable now, in the role they were designed for. I did try using an AR like I was before, and it's not as effective at range.

I mean, I can still get a ranged kill with it if I get the drop on someone or they don't have any cover, but if I don't close that distance fast, they can turn around an kill me now.

As for Shotguns, their range hasnt been decreased at all, you'll just do less damage than before if youre outside of that optimal Range.

Shottys are my go-to weapons in MP for many games. I still feel like most video games haven't really nailed how they work in real life though. Maybe that has more to do with gameplay for gameplay's sake.
