This pulse rifle shit is worse than Hand Cannons IMO.
Well, nothing's worse than age of Thorn but Pulse Rifles are as bad as Autos were.
I'm just thankful that most people are choosing to compliment their Pulse with a Shotgun instead of with a sniper, because a Pulse/Scout Rifle + Sniper rifle meta is my worst possible nightmare, the camping that would go on in games would put the campfests that currently go on in Rift to shame. That would be the end of Destiny PvP for me tbh, I wouldn't touch it again once it became like that.
Yeah, you're right, PvP is the most balanced it's been since launch, but lord is it boring to watch and play. Sweaties aren't very fun to watch anymore, the pace of them has slowed down considerably now that everyone is rocking Pulse's and Scouts, the Warrior playstyle has become extinct.
Say what you want about Thorn + Blink Shotgun meta and how unfair and cheap it was, but the top players turned it into an entertaining art form which was fantastic to behold. Hopefully the new guns will allow both the warrior and passive play to thrive, that would be true balance.
I just hate how rigid they force you to play. Bungie has done the PR justice but damn, how can I go back to basically playing Halo-lite once I tasted how awesome and fast paced TLW made this game. I feel like HCs (well TLW at least) where indicative of this game's true spirit of fun instead of this slow ass burst junk.
Like I legit feel like I'm fucked now when I play solo because PRs encourage team shotting and forcing you to play with others and taking things super safe in order have a chance. Yes it encourages team work but I hate that I feel handicapped to use a bland workhorse PR because others couldn't get over the skill gap for TLW.
People can complain about TLW all the want but it wasn't the easy mode the way Thorn was. If you killed me with TLW I trust you knew what you were doing instead of being a lazy cheapo with Thorn. It's a shame I see so few up in arms about TLW's death and swaths of people on Reddit and the like are all "GJ Bungie, Crucible feels so good and balanced now trollface.jpg".
If I'm being honest, it's the dudes who didn't main TLW in the first place (aka most of the population) who are the only ones that are happy.
It just boggles my mind that THORN is still usable at close to mid, while TLW has been rekt to shit.
I've said it before but even if my team was shit I could count on TLW to let me destroy individual targets, and now good luck doing that against a team of competent PR users with your own slow ass PR.
Again, none of this is a problem with competent teammates but that is not the case at all with randoms in this game. Next to Titanfall, I feel like this is one of the bigger FPSes where you see maybe one or two dudes who destroy on the leaderboards and a whole bunch of -0.9 guys.
Damn yo, I'm just salty asf, I feel like Batman and my Robin has been murdered and now I got this fat, slow Robin who is so sloooooow to react.
Ayyyyy dis rant felt good tho. #notsorry
