What is "lethality"? (Destiny)

Sure, it sounds like that. So I'll admit that Bungie considered "who". That being said, I still think they made an incorrect interpretation of the data. The fact that so many people feel like the game still isn't balanced is empirical evidence of that incorrect interpretation.

So, do you want a balanced game, or one where the average person thinks it's balanced? Because I'd prefer the first, and think the second one is near impossible. Just replace "lag" with "balance" :)

Confirmation bias.
I bet if Bungie claimed to increase heavy machine guns by 10% tomorrow, the forums would be filled with how machine guns are OP and now people die to them all the time...even if Bungie never changes anything.

I can guarantee you the dudes on reddit would notice.

After looking at the Bungie post again...what is "lethality"? Do they detail that at some point?
