Why is there no downsides in pvp ? Why can you go around with a a weapon or ability that will kill someone in a press of a button ? Pvp is pretty much dead anyways and just filled with cheaters. So experimenting with it won't really do it any harm. Let's start with Supers. Easy multi kills with 0 downsides. Change it so that when you are in Super, you take 50% more damage from all sources, also any missed attacks from supers that can attack multiple times, drains a large amount of energy. So no more spam swinging your spectral blades for movement speed. Heavy weapons. First of all reduce the amount of ammo you get from a brick. Secondly change it so that you no longer drop ammo when you die. Thirdly players equipped with a heavy weapon takes 25% more damage from all sources. Special weapons. Similar to heavy weapons but reduce ammo drop chance more and have the player take 30% more damage. Phoenix dive. Easily one of the cheapest abilities in the game, peak for some damage and escape with a chunk of health. You now have to be in glide mode, so no more jumping and instantly diving down. Secondly the health gain has a small delay rather than being instant. The health you gain from it is reduced by 50%. Wings of sacred dawn. Brokenly over powered exotic, easy fix. Disable its perk in pvp. Hand cannons has been a staple in pvp for almost its entirety, a 3 tap machine with long range. They take 10% more damage. Glaives. Glaives are brokenly overpowered weapons that requires no ammo what so ever. Attack around 3x faster then a normal melee ability and deals a bit more as well. Melee damage nerfed by 80% do compensate for its insane attack speed and also remove the bonus melee damage from grapples. Throwing knives. Nerf by 50% and remove its feature of being refunded on kill. Shoulder charges. Nerf by 50% and reduce the users damage resistance by 50% to compensate for the damage. Weapons and abilities with tracking deals 80% less damage. Come come and complain about how your cheap ways are being challenged.
