Nothing will ever top Forsaken’s Not Forgotten Meta for me. A gun only readily available to the best PvP players being better than every other gun in the game by such a wide margin was miserable. This Meta really isn’t as annoying, simply because it’s at least fairly accessible. Anyone can make a Hunter, unlock the subclass, obtain the Exotics and learn the build. It’s low-skill clownery sure, but anyone can do it. What I think is really making meta feel so painful is population. There are simply no longer enough people populating matchmaking for there to be any variety. It’s newbies who just got the game, likely to abandon it in a few short weeks for more modern FPS, and die-hards who have no other choice but to treat every game like it’s the world championship finals. It’s been several years of the same. Bungie has never, nor likely ever will innovate their PvP in any meaningful way. This company has neither the talent nor resources to make any appreciable sweeps to the PvP landscape. All that’s left to do is turn one knob up and other knobs down. Barring some kind of 11th hour Hail Mary where they drop the whole Crucible offline and build it back from scratch, there’s nothing left to look forward to. Poor maps. Poor game modes. Poor matchmaking. Poor balancing. Not to mention that the tide seems to be turning in favor of cheaters as Bungie becomes increasingly strained to combat them. The game is dead, folks. It’s clear as day. It’s a 10 year old FPS and it shows. Let’s just try to enjoy it while it lasts. This game’s survival hinges solely on the profitability of PvE content. There’s no more to give to Shaxx and his Crucible. When this Meta dies it’ll be replaced by another. We’ll all be back here wanting it nerfed as well. That’s all that can happen. Remember in Curse of Osiris when you travel to the distant future and see the heat death of the Universe? That’s about where we are right now.
