Suggested small change for Crucible.

Why not just move hand cannons to the special ammo slot and shotguns to the power ammo slot exclusively for Crucible? It'd put a stop to ace/luna/NF+shotgun cheeselords from making Crucible an unenjoyable mess by themselves or with their clanmates, and bring primaries back into play. It'd put a stop to the extremely anti-fun one shot meta this game seems to have going on where no one gets to play the game unless you're a peabrained HC+shotgun abuser because times to kill are absurdly low and guardians just don't have the health to withstand it, which is just wild considering this is the same company behind Halo 3 and the only time you got to one shot people in that game is if you risked it and pushed for power weapons or vehicles. I would hope it's not just me feeling this way but it is literally zero fun being killed instantly and in ways you couldn't possibly react to, really the only time Crucible is actually enjoyable is when no one is using shotguns or hand cannons like ace/luna/NF, fact is most human beings can't reasonably counter something that has the capability of killing them in POINT FOUR TO SEVEN SECONDS at ranges greater than their primaries, and it's incredibly counter-intuitive and poisonous to the longevity of the game to keep pvp in the state it's in. I'm hardly average when it comes to pvp and a lot of it is because of how things are balanced on top of the matchmaking and the fact you can take entire fireteams into QP. I often see the argument "well just contribute to how bad things are and abuse the broken things yourself!" and not only is that making things worse, some of us just have too much pride to lower ourselves to this sort of play. I love D2, but I absolutely DREAD going into Crucible for the weekly and daily powerful rewards because I feel like this horribly unenjoyable aspect of the game is unfairly being forced on me, and if I want to make my character stronger I have no choice but to suck it up and get farmed by full teams abusing shotguns and competitive hand cannons.

  • What about an HP multiplier in PvP? Weapons would do the same damage as they do now, but players would have 10x the life? Should be pretty easy to implement and would increase the length of engagements.

  • 1. They already did move shotguns to the heavy slot, didn't go well. 2. Are you crazy?! Making hand cannons rely on special ammo, they are not even remotely close to fusion rifles or snipers. [spoiler]not included in the DLC[/spoiler]

    • They did the whole 2 primary thing at the beginning of D2 and it was shit and the game almost died. It’s not perfect now but it’s a hell of a lot better than what it was. I hate shotguns but they are NOT heavy weapons!

    • I think while this is a suggestion, Luna isn't that great, ir has an awesome ttk but people get bored really quickly, I can understand your gripes about Not Forgotten it can be brutal, but that's just like asking them to limit all pinnacle weapons because they all have a nasty trait. I think it will get better but for the time being let them be excited they got it, because for some people, especially people like me, didnt think they would be able to get it
