Straight up, RIP strikers

Strikers are screwed. And seeing the nerf kids get their way, over and over again saddens me. I only play as a hunter and will never stray, but taking a sub class and neutering it is terrible. And will never fill me with any joy. I don't think firebolts burn times were op, that was kinda the point. Minus one for recovery for blinkers is uncalled for. Should've left trip mines alone. Shade step and smoke grenades were fine too. And the sun breakers super had to be ridiculous considering how crappy their neutral was (was/is, no offense). So let's look at shoulder charge. Seems like you gotta wind it up and aim. High risk high reward, going through with it puts the striker in a pretty bad spot. Why nerf it? Wtf is gonna get nerfed after that? Man if these forums didn't exist I think destiny would be such a different game today. We can sit here and talk about balance all day and I'll here you out. But each sub class has its strengths and weaknesses. Why put everyone on such level ground? 1) it's impossible and if you do manage to get it close some how 2) what would we be left with? Our exotic weapons aren't even exotic anymore because of the vast majority who cry nerf. Sorry for the rant, I just can't muster the words that can describe how much I hate all of u that cry nerf. You guys ruin so much for so many people. Shame on you. Bungie can we just vote on all buffs and nerfs from now on please?

    Jon Weisnewski and Team don't tune abilities and weapons JUST because people bitch and complain. They look at the data. They see what is getting used, how effective it is and how many people use it, and where. They do read the forums and they may look into the data on the complaint, but that doesn't mean they every base their decisions on complaints of X being too OP. They tune for the health of the game. If it gets to a point where Strikers are rolling in at an average K/D of 1.08 and Gunslingers are at 1.01, and Shoulder Charge is the reason for it, then ya, they may down tune Shoulder Charge. An aside: I remember when Shoulder Charge was a Kinetic attack, wasn't even an Arc ability.
