Mida needs some tweaks

So imo mida at the moment is unbalanced and has pretty much 0 drawbacks/flaws. To start it's in a tier of scout that 4 shots to the head similar to voc tier but mida shoots faster so big advantage there in ttk. For some odd reason mida has a huge mag for a scout rifle at a wopping 21 bullets and on top of that it's base reload is maxed. Like in what way is a large clip with max reload balanced? You can just spam shots forever without having to reload its insane. There's no penalty for missing shots! On top of that because of a large mag and fast reload why would you ever use field scout or whatever the other perk is that's not lightweight. Then worst of all the mida without a doubt in my mind has high caliber rounds as a secret perk. Those high caliber rounds really make it so u can't compete with mida from long to mid range because your getting flinched like crazy. Also the zoom on midas scope is too close it's meant to be used at long range as a scout why is it so effective in mid and extended close range. I'd love to hear what everyone has to say supporting or arguing against my opinion please comment with something to add to discussion. Edit: a lot of ppl are touchy on the phrase op so i changed it. I'm enjoying the healthy discussion in here. Although there's still a lot of people just bashing my post because they love their mida. Also a lot of ppl are assuming I'm bad because I'm criticizing mida I just want the weapon to stop out performing other weps in there intended ranges where a scout shouldn't win. Midas strength should lie in it's actual exotic perk the extra mobility and hair trigger which equates to good strafing, getting to advantageous positions faster, and faster reactions. I don't understand why people are replying this because my post isn't about it but ill address it. the comment of "why are you just now complaining about mida and weren't last year?". The answer is easy in year 1 there was a much bigger issue of the 2 shot exotic handcannons that killed at scout range. Additionally I think the last weapon update was just in december? Correct me if thats wrong but the meta only recently set in so this is the most appropriate time to address mida. I know I'm not the only one thats experienced it but I've been in close quarters to mid range situations with a pulse or AR and midas high cal rounds cause my gun to kick up like crazy so I can't land shots but the mida's totally fine and continues to peg me. I don't understand in what world that makes sense for a scout rifle to out perform a mid or close range weapon in their intended ranges respectively isn't that the point of the weapon classes? Another comment I'd like to address is "wow if its so good why don't you just use it". The thing is destiny is a game filled with many guns that surely aren't meant to just be there as filler. They all should be viable choice in certain ranges/situations. I don't want to be forced into using 1 or a few select guns that are top tier just to be competitive and have a chance at winning I like to have fun using all the guns. After all isn't that what they're there for? I'm going to add suggested changes so people aren't so scared of a nerf. I suggest: mida's mag reduced to around 15 or the reload is cut in half mida's secret hcr are removed and replace quickdraw or field scout on the midas perk tree with hcr increase the zoom slightly on midas scope to make it more of a long range weapon and to not perform so well in closer gun fights. Thanks for reading my post I hope to see more quality discussion and healthy debates.

  • There have been many, many nerfs and the meta is still in awful shape. Maybe nerfs just aren't the answer.

  • put it back to a year 1 damage level where it took 5 shots and then make the hung jury a little more balanced to compensate.

  • No it's fine, every other gun has been nerfed into oblivion so there's very little to compete against it.

  • Mida used to be unspecial back in the fay, since there was sooo many guns that was technically better/crutchier. There were definitely people who knew how to use it well, but for the majority it was whatever. Now that everything has been more or less "balanced ", Mida just feels OP.

    • >>Evil Laugh<< Just wait until colovance's duty is running rampant. From what I've heard from those who have had it drop for them it's a 3 shot headshot kill. Mida is 4.

    • mida doesn't have an extremely exotic perk, it's the combination of all its benifits that makes it exotic, quit bitching, MIDA is and always has been fine where it is... Every gun has its "sweet spot" in terms of preferred range but if a player can out maneuver you at class range and sink some bullets in you simultaneously that doesn't make it unbalanced. MIDA isn't overpowered or unbalanced it's just overused because Bungie keeps nerfing weapon types and exotics because of posts like these. Sure MIDA outguns other scout rifles because it's Exotic, it's supposed to. That being said there are plenty of other options to use that can outguns MIDA. Lots of pulses are still viable, hand canons are sneaking their way back into the ranks dominating close-medium ranges, MIDA can't hold a candle to the Jade rabbit and other long range scouts at their preferred range, and MIDA gets absolutely wrecked by AR at close ranges.

Stop complaining please just because some random turd killed you faster then you could kill him doesn't mean it's op cause it ain't not by a long shot, its a good gun when used by a good player just like any other gun in the game... So please stop complaining

          • 300 post later and I think the answer is clear. My point stands, Mida is fine and works as intended.

              Lol.....it's funny how it's been the exact same -blam!-ing gun since day 1 of destiny and has always been seen as just a well rounded weapon. It isn't super strong in 1 area and isn't super weak in 1 area,it's in the middle, it's perks aren't crazy,they just are enough to moderately compliment the weapon stats..... And now that it's overly popular, because of the change in meta,it's ALL OF A SUDDEN unbalanced. I honestly wonder if you people even listen to yourselves talk. When this whole "MIDA is OP " shit started I just sat there thinking, "wow,this really shows how whiny and pathetic the destiny community is, they are bitching about the MIDA?! Lol!". See the problem isn't that it's OP(because its -blam!-ing not,you're all just whiny idiots) the problem, is that the children of this game(yes,children, because about 85% of this game is below the age of 16) do not know the difference between, Over Powered and Popular. Just because you see a fluctuation of a weapon doesn't mean it's over powered,its just popular. I've yet to see someone form an even half assed argument as to HOW it's OP,you know why? Because they cant, because they know it isnt, because they know the only reason they are bitching about it, is because they keep dying to it, it's because they want to blame the fact that they are a shit player on something other than themselves. I don't even play Destiny anymore,i never cared for the MIDA for the very reason that it just felt like a jack of all trades scout rifle. It doesn't feel exotic to me and before this nonsense started,it didn't to a lot of other people,they were suggesting all sorts of things to add to it to make it worthy of its rarity. So, kindly, stop whining like a bunch of God Damn babies about something that you shouldn't be whining about. It isn't a shotgun,it isn't the thorn, it isn't pre nerf fusion rifle, it isn't tlw, it isn't pre nerf vex. Its a well rounded scout rifle with -blam!-ing third eye. Use your brain, get over it, stop bitching for once. [spoiler]Rant based and directed to all ignorant Nerf ponies, not specifically at you OP,i did indeed read your post[/spoiler]

                • MIDA is good and most other exotic primaries suck.. That's kinda just how it is. It's not op, it's just good and other guns are trash now. Buff some stuff, don't nerf.

                • If any gun needs to be nerfed, it's the last word. But the only problem is they'll nerf it into the ground like they did before. No medium for that gun.

                  • Why not buff other exotics to make them worth using? MIDA negates the use of other exotic weapons, so it should be really good compared to VoC and other legendary scouts of the same archetype. I think the real issue is that MIDA, TLW and Thorn are the most used exotic primaries sill and a buff to the others is needed to compete.
