So after two full years the default argument is I must just suck with the class I've mained since before day 1? Yeah, no. Furthermore being able to simply work a class doesn't mean it's viable.

I've utilized every aspect of that class properly for as long as you and just because you can make a throwing knife work doesn't give gunslingers an edge in terms of other classes no pun intended.

Ditto incendiaries. Yeah bro bounce and bank nades off floors and walls but fact is unless you're coupling them with bullets, or get one to blow up right on top of them you're not doing much of anything.

In a game of lightning, scatter, skip, fusion, flux, and magnetic grenades which are ALL objectively more effective at map and crowd control incendiary is simply outclassed.

This argument you have that just because you're maintaining good play with = the class is fine is just a fallacy.

Quickdraw, invisibility, blink, shadestep, smoke and their respective grenades all leave the gunslinger wanting. The golden gun which grants no additional armor and can't even penetrate a juggernaut shield does not compensate for an entire class being left behind.

And this shit is coming from someone who proudly and stubbornly refused to use any other hunter since alpha day 1 in crucible. I was right there with you bud, as time passed the obvious evidence that I was gimping myself rose to a level I couldn't ignore anymore and that's way gunslingers are found fewer and further between. You are in the minority of this community argument and would it not be the height of hubris to chalk that up to you be right while everyone else just can't gunslinger properly?
