I have been playing Destiny 2 since Curse Of Osiris. I was a pretty causal player until half way into Forsaken but I was still not playing the game to its full potential. It took me till Witch Queen to fully appreciate mods and builds. Last Season I ran GM’s for the first time, and this season I’ve solo’d 2 dungeons for the first time.

But it’s always rubbed me the wrong way when something is completely “game-breaking” even when I was a casual. Whether PVE or PVP. By “game-breaking” I mean a weapon or ability that completely shred the fabric of the game. You can make multiple arguments for multiple things that do that but I wanna focus on Well and furthermore it’s impact on the game. Well of Radiance has become too much of a crutch.

I do not mean that harshly or to judge, but it’s true. Well gives too much reward for very little risk. You could bring up another “support” super like Bubble, but bubbles trade off is the inability to shoot through it. Well is a requirement in everything now. Nightfalls, Raids, GM’s, Legendary Exotic Missions. I know what people are gonna say. “If you don’t like it or wanna make the game harder for yourself then don’t use it”. But do you hear yourself? An ability so powerful that it trivializes almost everything, and that to feel challenged just don’t use it? That’s a very dangerous mindset, a mindset I’ve been seeing more even with bugs. “Winterbite” has the power to shred bosses and I see “let people have fun”. What? When did taking the easiest route and not working for your reward becoming fun? When did challenge = bad? I know I shouldn’t touch it but DIV. I remember before putting effort into playing I was always div-bit#h. Is that rewarding? It wasn’t at all for me. Is just popping Well and being immortal rewarding? I will always commend Bungie for VOW but lets be real guys, Rhulk was built like that as a response to Well. When an ability is causing the developers to have to find ways around it that’s not good for the health of the game.

That’s my opinion, so lemme shut up and hear from YOU! The players, my fellow guardians. Let’s all please be respectful and kind about it too because from what I hear Twitter says ya’ll just scream at each other.
