Kudos for a really well written post my friend. Everything you stated is so very true.
Hell I remember at launch when everyone was using the Strangers Rilfe and the first AR you get at the start of the game in Crucible and were wrecking. You know what happened? Nerf posts all over the place.
If enough ppl started saying NLB was the sh*t ppl would probably use it. Shortly followed by nerf requests.
The sad thing is it's the nerfs made already that have created this problem.
Iron Banner and ToO aren't supposed to be balanced.
The only way to achieve true balance in Crucible would be to give everyone vanilla guns, just like Halo.

[quote] The only way to achieve true balance in Crucible would be to give everyone vanilla guns, just like Halo.[/quote] This is the truest statement on weapon balancing I've ever seen in these forums. Weapons in crucible are not meant to be balanced. The sooner the nerf herders realize this, the better off they will be.

This so very very much

I honestly don't believe any of the game is meant to be balanced the way people seem to think. I realized the very first match I joined that when I had my in game weapons, I probably wanted to find others lol. That said, when I made my last 2 and knew what I was doing in PvP, I'm not sure the crucible can be more fun than going in as a level 2 and killing people.

I also did the same. Now I am comfortable with every class. It really comes down to how you balance your perks, gear and weapons based on what map your on.

Lol, let's see them put up a spreadsheet with the TTK of my lightning grenade ticking behind them as I put one PR burst in their faces. Or two shots from my scout and then my axion bolt chasing them around the corner to finish them.
