Alright time for another rant. Bungie you cant tell me lightweight throwing knives and gamblers dogde are the only issues in pvp. The name of pvp currently is ability spam. And I gotta say right now titans and warlocks are winning that department. I mean come on most of titans melee kits are 1 shot abilities. Which I've seen a titan land 3 back to back seismic strikes as if they had "infinte melee." And the O so fun playstyle of let me hide behind my barricade and call down lightning with a trigger pull. Or warlocks with the horde of threadling they can spawn. Or maybe the heat seeking child of the old gods that both applies weaken and slow and drain. Like a certian hunter melee that was to OP. Like for -blam!- sakes bungie you keep nerfing hunters into the ground but wont do anything to the main problem children. Like good you are nerfing the couple of stand out weapons. But do something about all the ability spam between all 3 classes. Not just hunters.

Dude if any of that stuff was a problem… you would see it everywhere. But you don’t… You see nothing but Hunter ability spam. I had a match where there were 4 smokes on the field in the first 5 seconds of the game… knives bouncing everywhere. You complain about bolt charge… it does 30 damage while knives make you one shot and are instantly returned. Child can be destroyed in 2-3 burst from a pulse… and has a long cooldown. This PvP sandbox is the worst Hunter spam meta we’ve ever had.

You say that "spam abilities" is the problem. True : the subclasses that have the more effective abilities -and also can recharge them faster - benefit from that fact. You only use Hunter. I actually play ALL 3 classes -all Void -. For "some" reason , my Hunter seems to be "easier" to play with. I spend 95% being invis because I can spam the abilities 4 times every minute. My "50" out of 200 class ability needs 23 sec to be fully charged and my "melee" aka smoke bomb every 43 sec. Both my Warlock and Titan with over 100 class need almost minute to do the same thing. So ,abilities may be the main problem , but Hunters can spam abilities faster (and more effective) that the other 2 classes. Like I said I play all 3 (you can check that) so I am not not as biased as you are and I know that Hunters have better abilities and get those way faster. And btw as a "main" Warlock ,when someone dies from my COG ,I start laughting every time, thinking that there are actually players that are worse than me in PVP.

I like how you glossed over the biggest problems first, then tried to pin it on the other two classes. Classic Hunter denial.

If that was the case , using purely numbers more people would be using those classes but they don’t. Hunter usage equals the combine usage of titans and warlocks together. Plus void lock is currently siting at 3.7% strand lock usage is 0.6% 🤣 so what are you even talking about?

Edited by nonchalantone: 9/1/2025 3:25:21 AM*checks OP's profile*... Immediately sees that his Hunter is the ONLY used character, at 413.... Immediately down voted. You can't be serious with this post. Edit: and if your rant is true, why aren't you using your other character and their "spamming" abilities???

Threadlings? Child of the Old God? Get Good Dude. If that's killing you then you have way bigger issues to deal with.

Gotta be honest, I have seen these before, the PvPs mains hate ability spam. I swear we seen this exact thing last year. Good luck PvP squad, I hope they fix it....and yes I am a hunter main, I jist hope they dont screw up PvE by f8xing PvP
-
Agreed the ability spam is at an all time high rn but this forum is mainly composed of said ability spammers so its tough to get anything on here regarding abilities in PvP not downvoted into oblivion. Still we should try

Anyone else see a hunter sweating that their easy mode is about to get adjusted? Same here.
