The recent patch broke almost everything somehow. Matchmaking takes forever which makes me believe they tweaked it again. I keep getting dropped in games that have a shit-ton of sweaties in them. Nothing wrong with that ... but it turns into Call of Duty real fast. Everyone rushing towards the enemy and all they do is sit in a corner, shotgun ready and take the kills.
That being said .. I fail to see why things like the Hawkmoon, Twilight Garrisson or Shadestep needed to be nerfed. There are FAR worse things happening in the world of PvP then those things. The lag, invincible Guardians, no damage etc ... are all things that SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIXED already.
I mean ... diversity is a good thing in Destiny. The more weapons, the better.
But Bungie keeps "screwing" it up by nerfing certain weapon-classes so shit. Auto Rifles, Handcannons .. TLW is a good weapon but nowhere near where it used to be. It actually took some skill to use. When I'm using a handcannon I feel like I'm shooting blanks most of the time. When I'm using an Auto-Rifle the damage done is minimal. Result? Switch back to my Grasp, Hawksaw or PDX. Pulse Rifles dominate PVP.
