I won't put you on blast but I heartily disagree with you.
The Mida Multi Tool is pretty much the exact same gun it was in Year 1 but it didn't get near as much use.
Why?
First, the Vex Mythoclast and Suros Regime reigned supreme. They actually were overpowered at first. Then came Thorn and The Last Word. They also were overpowered.
Mida isn't OP because none of Midas perks are all that great to begin with. It's base stats are average at best. Third Eye can be found on any number of Legendaries, its middle perks aren't anything to brag about, and its signature perk boosts speed and trigger pull.
It doesn't have poison, life gain, or a way to boost damage.
It's just popular. It's always been GOOD but always was kept down by Thorn and the others.
This meta is arguably the most balanced it's ever been. That may not be saying much but it's improvement.
When Trials first came out, Thorn dominated. Like to 80% of the meta. TLW was second in terms of usage with Red Death rounding out the Top 3. If you wanted to have a legit chance in PvP, you'd start with Thorn simply because it gave you the best chance to win.
Last night in Trials, my first Trials in Y2, I was killed by Mida, Doctrine, Red Death, Hung Jury, The Last Word and I'm sure there were others that I cant remember.
Unlike Y1 Trials, however, I wasn't consistently killed by a green poison on my screen.

Why does everyone keep referencing year 1 like that matters anymore? I agree crucible is as balanced as it's ever been but doesn't mean it cant get better nor is it close to perfect. My whole point is that midas stats are not average they're perfect theres nothing bad about a single one of them. the rof and impact of it is probably the most effective at the fastest 4 shot kill for scouts, it's range doesnt matter because scouts don't really experience dmg fall off and the maps aren't that big anyway, its stability paired with it''s aim assist makes consistantly hitting headshots at any range pretty easy for a decent player, and it's reload is MAXED and it has a huge clip for a scout. 0 drawbacks whats average about those stats theyre perfect. Thats not even mentioning it's exotic perk that makes u strafe like a god

We bring up Y1 because people like yourself keep wanting to claim Mida is OP when it isn't. Mida is nothing compared to the true OP weapons. If Thorn was ever brought to Y2, you'd know what OP is. Midas base stats are average. Only its reload speed is better than anything. Aim assist may be highest of everything but that make just anyone an automatic headshot machine. It's only the top of the meta right now because it's so popular. That's it. It's an easy to use, competitive choice. If that's the ONE thing that might be a drawback.

Thorn is still op and mida handles perfectly

Except Thorn isn't a Y2 weapon which means it's useless in Trials and IB. It's still excellent in regular Crucible but weapons are judged by their effectiveness in Trials and IB where the level advantages make a difference. Lots of guns are good in regular Crucible. The same cannot be said of IB and Trials

Agreed. Mida has always been a solid choice

Yessir!

Also this true
