To be fair, Titanfall is a lot easier to balance than Destiny just based on the pure math of the matter. Destiny has many, many combinations of class perks, weapons perks, and weapons to balance. Titanfall has a very small pool of weapons and abilities by comparison.
For Destiny 2, Bungie reduced options so they'd have less permutations to balance. Now instead of being able to configure 8 different perks with 3 options each, you can only choose your grenade and jump (3 options each), then 1 of 2 fixed sets of perks. They went from 6561 combinations of perks per subclass to just 18.
That doesn't bother me a ton. I think it will reduce replay value but it won't kill the fun in the short term. I just hate that they removed special weapons, weakened supers and grenades and slowed down movement speed, in addition to removing 6v6 playlists. Just big steps backwards in areas the game didn't need it.
