Nothing in this game has ever been op it's just skilled players outplaying other players. However, due to bungie's recent behavior of catering to everyone who cries about this game on forums. Almost every gun and subclass has suffered a nerf. In their pointless attempt to make everything balanced. Let me say this as a person if we (guardians) were shooting each other with pea shooters there would still be a crap ton of players bitching and moaning about how op those pea shooters are. No matter what bungie does it's never good enough nor will it ever be. So personally I think they should bring it back to how the game was in the HoW meta. This is just my opinion but the game felt as balanced as it ever would be back then but, this is just my opinion.
