Destiny 2 post-The Witch Queen is in a pretty good state, with many fans applauding Bungie for the choice of implementing a Legendary version of the campaign, weapon crafting, and Light subclass reworks. The game is ever-evolving, and the fact that old systems and mechanics often get another pass to keep them balanced is a good thing, especially for those features that can be problematic in the long run.

As the game moves forward, with future Seasons in Year 5 including the Solar 3.0 update and the Arc 3.0 update, it may also be time for Bungie to reconsider some long-standing systems that are clashing with the developer's view of creative freedom in makingbuilds. The main issues lead to a very limited variety in terms of loadouts to deal both with Champions and the Match Game modifier. These two features are often used to increase the difficulty of endgame content, and while they succeed at doing that, they also inevitably take a toll on how viable many builds can be in hard activities.
