Both Graviton Lance + Vigilance Wing ruined crucible for all other weapons this season. I'm hoping the next season brings these two back into line with the rest of the D2 weapon list.
EDIT: BTW, GL is easy-mode compared to other weapons. I keep it stowed since using it feels like cheating when benched against other options.

Yeah, exactly why I don’t run my Hunter much, easy mode.

Something else will simply "ruin crucible for all other weapons" in the next season. And the circle will continue.

And the circle will continue.[/quote] I didn't see anything else near Graviton Lance nor Vigilance Wing's dominance in Season1 and 2. Yes there were strong meta weapons like Mida and Better Devils leading the pack, but these still required more precision aim to land shots successfully. GL is several magnitudes higher and operates on a whole different level -- unlimited range, 3-tap kill power, AoE collateral damage with void orbs, huge aim assist, etc. Literally all other weapons got left in the dust. Previous seasons had multiple weapons sharing lead roles. This season -- it's just GL and VW.

That's fine and dandy, but there is always a "crutch, no-skill meta that's ruining crucible."

Hopefully Bungie corrects this in the next patch by giving us a rock -> paper -> scissor rotation were certain weapons directly counter others. I'm hoping primary slot snipers like Alone As a God in S4 has a chance at doing this, but we'll have to wait and see.

Worst of all, the sniper only needs 1 shot and no longer needs power ammo bricks. Skill should be emphasized above spam... this should be a good start.
