That's great and all, but it's not the case. (Destiny)

Gjallarhorn has tracking, Grenades & Horseshoes and tracking clusters Icebreaker has regenerating ammo and an absolute shit-tonne of range and aim assist. The Messenger was The Messenger!

[Edit: Plus of course Pocket Infinity, Plan C, Lord of Wolves, Universal Remote (which has been buffed!) and a bunch of other exotics that have been left behind.]

Now, those are Exotics, so at least you only see a few of those. But Y!'s re-rolling completely broke the meta, and let everypme have perfect Rangefinder/Rifled Barrel shotguns, Aggressive Ballistics/Crowd Control/Hidden Hand LMGs and LitC/Final Round Handcannons.

Obviously not all year one weapons were broken, but the ability to reroll them, along with some ridiculous perk sets, made them way more broken than most year two weapons. Especially now that those perk combinations are a lot harder to come by now thanks to different manufacturers using different pools (you can't get LitC on Hakke Handcannons, for example) and a wider variety of perks in the first place.

Honestly, the only weapons that are better in Y2 than Y1 are Snipers.
