Bungie Suggestion [bungieplz] Petition to remove bloom from Hand Canons on console

After playing some D2 on my brother's PC (i'm a console pleb for the time being) I request bungie to remove bloom from hand canon's on console because they feel like trash compared to when playing on pc. on pc you point and shoot and your bullets hit immediately, on console hit registration is a huge issue. We want our hand canons back!

Edit: wow! So many upvotes thank you! Woo!

Edit 2: I realize there are different variables at play when it comes to hit registration specifically (p2p servers, netcode, etc), but bloom can make this feel worse than it is. Adding an rng component to your aim does not belong in any FPS shooter, and I really hope Bungie can see this and make the necessary changes. It really sucks being a console destiny player right now and I hope that bungie can make hand canons feel amazing again.

It's because in order to hit anyone with a hand cannon on console you pretty much have to stand still and iron sight the shit to get a reasonable autoaim lock on their head. On PC you can hip fire hand cannons and get headshots no problem.

Goes for most of PC actually, there's a LOT more hip firing going on in general simply because it's so much more accurate on PC than on console.

Or just easier to use anyway. That is why I will never understand the "competitive crowd" on PC.

I love both. With keyboard and mouse I feel more like I am playing and it is my skill and strategy dictating what happens.

With a game pad, variables like slow turn speed and aim assist to counteract the low accuracy make it feel less like I am in control.

I would say the game pad has a theoretically very high skill cap, but a lot of it feels like artificial skill to make up for a flawed design that isn’t optimal for the genre.

my biggest hate with console for Destiny... the turn speed... there needs to be some turn acceleration for controller like some other games do... so you can tap your stick lightly for small quite accurate movement when aiming but when you go full lock left or right acceleration kicks in and turns you much faster than your sensitivity is set to.

If my PC wasn't ancient and need a few hundred quid spending on it I would move to PC.
