Because its basically a pulse rifle.
So it does its damage in a burst, rather than all at once.

But it can still "OHK" with one burst though, so you effectively spawn with 3 kills vs. 2 for every other special weapon [i]and[/i] it picks up two kills worth of special ammo instead of just one per special ammo brick. It's a ridiculous outlier

Which takes more skill and better timing with LoWs than with a conventional shotgun. Treating everything the same isn't treating them equally. LoWs is a more difficult weapon to use, and is less forgiving of mistakes than a typical shotgun.

Dude the argument that I just had with him almost made me delete the app.

Or that I do. LoW was a dominant weapon on PC. Not console. Also the weapon plays more like a pulse rifle than a shotgun. It’s been one of my favorite weapons across both Destiny 1 AND 2. 🎤

[quote]Or that I do. LoW was a dominant weapon on PC. Not console.[/quote] It IS dominant on both [quote]Also the weapon plays more like a pulse rifle than a shotgun.[/quote] LOL no, it plays exactly like a shotgun but has a pulse forgiveness allowing you to even miss landing 1 of the rounds in the burst. In no way does LoW operate like a pulse [quote]It’s been one of my favorite weapons across both Destiny 1 AND 2.[/quote] It sucked in d1. It's meta in d2 [quote]🎤[/quote] Cringe

Edited by kellygreen45: 7/20/2022 11:13:28 AMNonsense on stilts. Take that crap somewhere else. If you’re being dominated with it on console, then you have failed to master the game’s movement skills or how to control the range envelope for engagements. That is you fail to respect that it is designed-like Chaperone—-a certain range envelope, and you need to stay out it. The only reason it dominated on pc is because the lack of recoil on pc (at the time) gave the weapon unnatural range and accuracy. Which was not present in the console version. The way you counter LoW is you exploit it weakness. The fact that it fires in a burst. So if you are moving to the left or right as it is fired, there is a high likelihood that some of the projectiles will miss, and they fail to deliver a killing blow. Bungie doesn’t make these decisions at random. Unlike most of you who complain, they actually play WITH these weapons and understand their strengths AND weaknesses and balance accordingly. They don’t always get it right, but there are reasons for what they do. Translation: play better.

It's amazing how bottom tier players refuse to recognize a gun that's completely broken and currently meta because they like using it 😂🤣 The gun has 3 starting shots compared to every other special, it is the most forgiving shotgun in the game allowing you to even miss shots in the burst and still secure a kill and has extended range beyond precision or aggressive frame shotguns and you want to sit there trying to justify it with weak "just play around it bro"

I’m actually in awe, this guy has the baseless confidence of a sever narcissist and it’s hilarious. I said that I muted him two spots ago but this is too funny to stop reading.

Edited by kellygreen45: 7/20/2022 4:38:13 PMAs opposed to arrogant wannabes who demand that their opinions be accepted as fact and have nothing to back it with but shame and insults? This wasn’t about the weapon being broken. It was about the weapon’s ammo economy, and why it deserved different handling because the weapon WORKS differently than a normal shotgun. As the weapon fires in a burst rather than all at once. So it is more likely to miss a target moving ACROSS its line of fire. But then if you actually played with the weapon you’d know that…. Sorry. No subject changes or goalpost moving, please…

[quote]As opposed to arrogant wannabes who demand that their opinions be accepted as fact and have nothing to back it with but shame and insults?[/quote]You forgot facts, it's literally a fact that low is the most forgiving shotgun allowing you to miss parts of the burst and still secure a kill, it's fact is has an extra round vs every other special and is fact it hits at longer ranges then precision and aggressive frames Yes op was talking about only the extra round but you did mention (ridiculously) that it was somehow balanced.
-
Your opinion about its ease of use isn’t a fact. It’s just your biased opinion. The only FACT here is that the gun fires like a pulse rifle. So since it OPERATES differently that shot or slug shotguns, it makes sense that Bungie CHOOSE to handle its ammo differently. But you don’t want to hear that because it doesn’t jibe with your agenda. Which is to stump for getting the weapon nerfed. Again.

[quote]Your opinion about its ease of use isn’t a fact. It’s just your biased opinion.[/quote]It having better range then other shotgun types is not an opinion. It's ease of use is not an opinion. It's extra round is not an opinion. All 3 of those are fact. It's fact it huts further then precision or aggressive frames. It's fact it's the easiest shotgun to use allowing you to miss shots in the burst and still secure a kill. It's fact it gets an extra round in pvp. [quote]The only FACT here is that the gun fires like a pulse rifle. So since it OPERATES differently that shot or slug shotguns, it makes sense that Bungie CHOOSE to handle its ammo differently.[/quote]Or more likely bungie haven't realized its bugged with an extra round and will change it when they do. As opposed to being delusional and thinking a literal shotgun that fires in a burst is somehow a primary pulse rifle.

Goalpost keep moving. You keep moving to. I’ve wasted enough of my time with you and your attitude and insults.

-
Yep. Because I no longer play this games pvp because Bungie has effective withdrawn support for it… so rather that hang around and constantly complain about how unhappy I am, I stopped playing. But that doesn’t change the fact that I am intimately familiar withe the weapon and how it performs, as well as its strengths and weakness in both sides of the game. Congratulations you just fell for the oldest logical fallacy going. And once again a perfect example of the kind of toxic behavior that has Bungie pulling back from interacting with us. As well as why so many pve players feel the game would be better off without pvp. They are a shrinking part of the player base, and bring a disproportionate amount of toxicity, chaos and dysfunction to the game and the community. Now let it go and go insult someone else. Because that’s all you have. Insults and attitude. And you wasted enough of my time with both.

Edited by Meaga: 7/21/2022 1:24:49 AMYou are clearly not intimately familiar with the LoW that I literally crutch the life out of because I just swapped to MnK. I’ve given up on logic with you, you are what most people call dense and egotistical. So since you wanna call ME a hypocrite, “go play PvP” you patrol superior warrior. “Talk to me when you play PvP”

Sure. Whatever. Muted.

Sure. Whatever. You’re LITERALLY a comedy show. Thank you for the laugh, keep on keeping on patrol overlord.
