It's a general problem (Destiny)

by yakaman, Wednesday, May 27, 2015, 12:02 (3705 days ago) @ Avateur

Bungie seems to have issues balancing weapons in general. Auto Rifles are too powerful? Let's make them close to worthless while also making some other gun obnoxiously overpowered. Because why balance when we can just swap?

I actually feel as though most stuff is pretty well balanced now. EXCEPT Thorn. That motherf*cker is a joke.

I know ARs are lesser now, but I still get smoked by them if the context is appropriate...i.e. mid-range, while I'm using PR or HC or something.

I kinda base my "things are well-balanced" opinion based on how I get killed. At this point, seems pretty randomly spread.

EXCEPT Thorn.

Apologies if you lost an AR that you loved...
