Right now just about any gun can be great, depending on its perks.

If you make weapons have specific perks, all you end up with is a whole bunch of weapons that get sharded instantly. The meta wouldn't change, and you'd end up with even less variety.

In the end is that really any different than it is now? Just a few 'guns' (rolls) dominate the meta. In my scenario at least you'd know what your up against and not have to guess what perks they were running with on that Matador 64.

It would be different because those "Perfect Rolls" are only "PERFECT" for certain activities and certain play styles. I have a Solar Party Crasher with Shot Package and Rifled Barrel, but I almost exclusively use it in Solar Burn Cabal activities (to devastatingly great effect) - I have YET to even take it into the Crucible, even though that's where it ought to "shine" the most.

Just because there is a "perfect PvP roll" doesn't mean that's the "most fun" for everyone. I like options and being given a choice I actually have control over.

Exactly. I'm desparate for a Dry Rot so I can roll Solar, Full Auto, Casket Mag and Cascade. Will it be good in Crucible? God I should think not. Will it be as effective as Found Verdict? Not unless I can get the magazine above 6. Will it be stupid fun? Yes yes yes yes yes.
