PvP balance of supers is terrible and needs serious attention

As a Light subclass user (gunslinger for life), I'm very much looking forward to Bungie buffing the Light subclasses to bring them up to Stasis. Here's the problem with that proposition. The Stasis supers are all so strong that buffing everything to that level would make crucible even more of a cluster than it already is. When it comes to other abilities, neutral game, etc. by all means buff Light subclasses but I want to see a global super nerf. Stasis, Light, everything. Supers are insanely more powerful now than at any time in the franchise's history. It isn't chaotic and fun. It makes the rest of the sandbox borderline irrelevant and reduces the importance of guns when someone can get a super in less than 2 minutes and then keep 1/3 of their super energy when they use it even if killed during the animation. I know Destiny 2 isn't a "competitive" game and I'm not asking for it to be. However, at least friggin try for some modicum of game balance. Here's how. 1. Tune the damage/DR of underperforming roaming supers to a Behemoth level, then cut ALL their durations in half. No killing someone in spawn then yeeting to the opposite side of the map to kill them again before your super runs out. 2. Give one-and-done supers such high DR that you literally can't die during the animation, and buff the damage. Shutting down a roaming super with a nova bomb or blade barrage should be as easy as it is for them to kill you (in the case of Behemoth, this is trivially easy). 3. Avoid getting into the current situation again please do some actual play testing before going live with the new Witch Queen subclasses. I know you want to sell season passes but it's no excuse to release objectively broken content that ruins half the player base's enjoyment of the game for months on end.

  • The biggest flaw was basing the entire BL expansion around Stasis. Thus it was guaranteed to be NEXT LEVEL OP. Thereby guaranteed to break Crucible. And guaranteed to be P2W. You can't just buff Light to be as equally overbearing, as equally PvP breaking, as equally PvE dominating even. Not without further shifting the game to a mere push button. Some of Subclasses Supers AND some of the neutral mechanics, grenades & charged melees, will have to come down. Which leaves a sour taste and a feeling of boom & bust. But that's the fault of the flaw at the start.
