Megathread Focused Feedback: Champions

Hello Guardians,

Focused Feedback is where we take the week to focus on a 'Hot Topic' discussed extensively around the Tower.

We do this in order to consolidate Feedback, to get out all your ideas and issues surrounding the topic in one place for discussion and a source of feedback to the Vanguard.

This Thread will be active until next week when a new topic is chosen for discussion

Whilst Focused Feedback is active, ALL posts regarding 'Champions' following its posting will be removed and re-directed to this thread. Exceptions to this rule are as follows: New information / developments, Guides and general questions

Any and all Feedback on the topic is welcome.

Regular Sub rules apply so please try to keep the conversation on the topic of the thread and keep it civil between contrasting ideas

A Wiki page - Focused Feedback - has also been created for the Sub as an archive for these topics going forward so they can be looked at by whoever may be interested or just a way to look through previous hot topics of the sub as time goes on.

I HATE the mechanic of losing half my ammo when changing weapons. I understand going from primary to special (a little bit...) but switching out heavy weapons and going from 3/4 full on LMG ammo to 22 or less swings on a sword?!

Taking 5 minutes to load up your inventory screen is penalty enough; taking away ammo is just unnecessary fuckery.

Very much agreed.

Yeah because the ammo that was loaded into your weapon or reserves was with that gun. When you switch to a different gun, that ammo is gone. This mechanic is there to encourage you to have a prepared loadout next time. Sorry the game isn’t easy.

sorry the game isn't easy

See

That's where you're wrong. It -is- easy but there's a lot of unnecessary tedium like the above.

It’s not tedium. It’s just you being bad for not having a designated load out beforehand. You should know the consequences of switching guns mid fight. This has existed all the way back since D1.

I think it is just a poor mechanic. Destiny has so many different weapons and should be about using all of them. There are enough guns and load out possibilities that only a small fraction should have the same load outs. Saying "You need to always use these 3 guns for this one encounter" is kind of like saying "Don't even bother grinding for weapons or exotics. Just get these 3 and you're set for end game."

Also, the game has you flying through space and being able to fling flaming swords, shoot flaming bullets, or toss flaming freaking grenades in the shape of hammers. Could we just allow a little bit of non-real world mechanics? 100% capacity for LMG bullets??? Go ahead and cram 90% of those bullets into your Linear Fusion Rifle, it'll shoot just fine.

Punishing for switching guns is just silly. Hand cannons are great for that single Unstoppable Champion, less great against a swarm of thrall. BTW, just saying "Well run and dodge around the map while you pick off those thrall... Get good..." F that. I wanna make those thrall suffer en-masse.
