MLG takes out weapons that they see as being less skillful.
Thats not why. Besides, Dual wieldable weapons can be found in certain gametypes such as FFA and any game on Sanctuary. They settled on No Duals for most maps because the Plasma Pistol was way to powerful (agreed?). No Duals also eliminated useless weapons like the Needler. If you watch some old MLG gameplay, from before the No Duals era, you see all the pros Dualing and SMG and PR whenever they are at snipe tower.
They sacrificed variety for equality and, in their eyes, balance.
actually, a battle can be dramatically changed by a dual wieldable weapon. Example, two guys meet up, both armed with one SMG, both are firing, and one of them just so happens to be closer to another dual weapon, picks it up and the battle becomes unbalanced. also, it takes away the three rules bungie based the game upon, firing, grenades, and melee. that's another reason you don't see duals in MLG.
