Abilities are ruining crucible
Crucible is practically unplayable because of abilities.
I’m sick of the ability spam no skill no gunplay meta. Ts is beyond dogshit what ever happened to the no ability crucible mode because at this point it needs to be a permanent mode for players that are so sick and fking tired of the non stop ability spam 5000 grenades 600 melees every 2 fking second dumpster fire meta bungie has created.
Crucible used to actually be fun and enjoyable and now it so far from even being fking playable it’s insane.

Abilities are too opressive and weapons too forgiving and easy to use.

1 ReplyIt’s not ability’s it’s hunters. They have all the crazy cheesy abilities. I was playing lockdown the other day and every single time a person rage quit a multiple hunters would spawn in and turn the whole game around. Then after that game I was only playing against hunters and hunters and hunters I shut the game off. I have no idea why bungie isn’t acknowledging the hunter problem. Wait could it be because hunters are probably the class that buys the most eververse items?

1 ReplyThey did have one for you guys called hardware. I haven't seen it lately. Bungie needs to realize there are two types of players when it comes to this issue and it shouldn't be hard to cater to both, the ability people and the hardware people. Would probably stop all the bickering between both sides too.

Edited by ForeverLaxx: 5/6/2026 6:17:30 AMUnranked Titan main upset they can't abuse OEM as heavily as they want to. News at 11. EDIT: love downvotes for calling you out. It fuels me.

6 RepliesI agree, there should be a permanent hardware mode in the playlist, I don't care if the player count is low, let the players vote with their feet, then we will see how many prefer space magic or pure gunplay.

I just played a match of control and couldn’t believe it. Smoke bombs, scattered, grenades, threadings and helions all over B on endless vale. Abilities need to be nerfed to the ground.

12 RepliesI think that some abilities are overused (like Invis and Smokes on Void Hunters..), but abilities in general are secondary to gunplay. Weapons pretty much always account for more kills than abilties. On most builds, it is pretty hard to get a kill only using abilities, and you usually have to use more than 1 ability at once to do so. Imo, the biggest issue in D2's sandbox is that the abilties are not balanced. There is no variety. The same abilities are spammed over and over, and the lack of variety makes things tedious. I want Bungie to buff the underused subclasses and abilties and nerf the overused options.

Edited by randy marsh 001: 5/5/2026 6:15:12 PMAbilities, like the solar attack that sets you burning for 10 minutes, matchmaking, SBMM which has absolutely no place in "Domination" mode where there's currently zero fun, the player base, Ximmers/Cronus everywhere, large maps in 90% of matches—and that's just 5% of the current problems in PvP.

2 RepliesEdited by Scourged One: 5/6/2026 3:59:09 AMNo, they aren't. Destiny has ALWAYS been a space magic game. Not a strict FPS like CoD where it's only gunplay. Accept it and move on. Edit: Changed Slave to Space. Got auto-stupided and didn't notice 😒

Same in pve.

3 RepliesIm here just waiting for Mayhem to come back into rotation... In "normal" PvP, there is an imbalance in a lot of the ability use/uptime. Trying to balance that now, would be hard, and options llke hardware are around even less than mayhem is. My priority would be to fix the connection issues in PvP before even trying to do something with ability spam. Gunplay doesnt really matter when the connection is what wins the fight rather than the weapon.

8 RepliesIt’s destiny 2 PvP which is awful now anyways ! But I was on yesterday and got 5:6 decent games which hasn’t happened for months ….first 3 games were solid and close . Dude it’s a cheesy space magic game….thats d2 PvP ?! It’s so easy to get into , high aim assist so anyone has a chance and space magic !

It's always been this way since D1. Abilities have been nerfd n buffed for over 10 years now, same as weapons. After all these years and thousands of posts here I don't think it's going to change into the PvP game that you want. I hope I'm wrong though, I'm still waiting for bungie to do something that will make me want to come back and play again.

Buff every weapons into stat monsters. There's part of a solution right there. No reason not to at this point because what is that going to break that isn't already being broken by at least 5 other weapons in every category?
