I like the weapon differentiation they have as goals. It is probably unavoidable that they change older weapon stats to bring them fully into line with newer weapons. It is quite frustrating in the Crucible that you lose an encounter just because your opponent has a specific weapon with grandfathered advantages.

The alteration of Black Hammer will probably see it's use taper off. The free ammo is the major reason people use it on boss encounters. The Ice Breaker delay will just draw those same encounters out. The Gallerjorn change will probably not cause other weapons to jump up in value. Rockets have the advantage in that they don't expose the guardian to return fire for long intervals, and so they will continue to be the go to weapon in most boss encounters where you have to minimize your exposure.
