Why do you say that?

I ask because I played a whole bunch of Iron Banner last week, and I thought it felt great. Lots of stuff is really viable, and it didn’t feel like it was filled with crazy ability spam or wild one hit bullshit like it was during Witch Queen.

I hear a LOT of complaints about Jade Rabbit, Golden Gun, and Sunbringers, but while you definitely feel their presence, the Grasp set is disabled now, Jade Rabbit has a skill check, limited map control, and crumbles against aggressive play. And people will always complain about Warlocks, because they’ve always just been played by higher skilled players. :P

Other than that, Crucible feels a little faster than I’d like, hand cannons can be difficult to counter at medium range, and Fighting Lion is no longer a viable primary (BOOOOOO), but everything feels fine. I ran all three classes this IB with almost Zero updates to my old Final Shape builds, and had a great time all around.
