Lets take a look at the Duvolle AR, and the Freedom mass driver. Both are the prototype level V weapon in their catagory.

At Operation V the Duvolle does 37.4 dmg, and the Freedom does 266.2 (127.6 splash). Add Prof 3, and you get an extra 9% damage, raising the damage to 40.8 and 290.2 (138.6) respectively.

The Duvolle has a ROF of 750 RPM. The Freedom, 60 RPM. Without including time for reloading each weapon, the Duvolle has a DPS of 467.5 at Op V, 510 at Prof III. The Freedom has a DPS of 266.2 (direct) and 127.2 (splash) at Op V, 290.2 (direct) and 138.6 (splash) at Prof III.


Approx time to kill a standard Sentinel:
AR: 1.58 sec.
MD direct: 2.79
MD splash: 5.84

Tell me again how the MD is OP.





Crutch much?

Well the heavy will be easier to kill with splash damage. With the AR you have to make every bullet count so it takes more skill. With MD you just equip the assault variant and let the explosives spammage do the job.

What about damage to armour bonus? And this is assuming every round from ar hit. Don't get me wrong I'm not an avid ar user but you can't exclude those variables. Nerf them both and let freedom reign with a shotgun blast!!

I hadn't played the game in a month, just started back up several days ago. Same with forums... so I missed out on all the Flaylock/MD arguments. But, your compared is a bit apples/oranges. There are a number of factors you're overlooking.
Just a couple:
1. If you miss with MD, you still cause damage. If you miss with AR, you do 0 dmg. (this is HUGE, in a game where players have high mobility and hit detection is questionable... at best) Leading into point 2...
2. TTK is only a small factor into the effectiveness of a weapon. Especially since many players strafe. (or atlest are running while being shot) This nullifies the TTK stat a bit, especially in a game that has high mobility.
3. Getting hit with MD causes victim's aim to be thrown off, and vision impaired slightly. Not the case with AR.

While I do think the MD is OP, I won't bother arguing for/against it here. Just point out that the argument has a lot more "grey" not just black and white.

Paran is this how you plan your battles before going into a match by doing basic math.

Might be the reason why you're doing so bad in PC

no FF in pub = world of MD spam.

heh, saw garbage on your team ending with KDR in 4-17....

In PC, with equally skilled and speced players, AR beats MD, as you saw first hand.

MD + FLUX beats Ar all day everyday

These numbers are assuming you're hitting with all your shots, which is much much easier to do with the MD. You barely even need to aim with it.

In a world with poor control systems, broken aim assists, and all around horrible input methods, it does not matter how much damage you do on paper with an AR, the MD's explosion radius means it lands more shots more often than a spray and pray AR user. That's why it's OP - it has larger explosion radius than a grenade with healthy damage, all in an easy-to-aim package.

That's why it's broken. So, how about you take your paper maths and get out.

I know reading comprehension isnt something goons excel at, but please reread the thread, accounting for poor hit detection and misses, the AR still outperforms the mass driver's splash.

You are such a failure.... I guess when you suck at the game as bad as you do you gotta try to be relevant at something. 3-12 much? It's not the fact that you got your face smashed in. That's to be expected. It's the FACT that the first game you were bragging that even though you loss the first match you went positive as if to say you are a good player and did what ya could but your team fell short. Well the very next game 5 mins later you went 3-12 LMFAO!
