Sincere question:
Did you take ARs into a compound, I.e. a CQC area? |

Let me rephrase the question:
Did you take mid-range weaponry into a short range confrontation? |

The AR is a Gallente Plasma Rifle that's supposed to be a close range weapon. It's not supposed to be any more than that, not even a short-to-mid range weapon. The Minmatar Combat Rifle is the short-to-mid range rifle.
It is *supposed* to be a close range weapon, but it isn't. Right now its range is barely less than the scrambler rifles.
Don't forget that regardless of its technology, it's also still a rifle. Rifles are, by design, extended range.
IMO the only rebalance the MD demonstrates a need for, is a buff to the shotgun and perhaps the breach AR. Then we'd start to see an oppropriate balance between close and mid range weaponry. |

Don't forget that regardless of its technology, it's also still a rifle. Rifles are, by design, extended range. I think the ScR needs more range rather than giving the AR less. I'm mostly talking about optimal ranges here. The around 40m optimal the AR has is probably fine, but the ScR needs to have like 70-80m optimal imo.

I think the Breach AR might be changed entirely when the Rail Rifle comes out, if they even keep it in the game. The Breach AR is supposed to act somewhat like the Rail Rifle, so in reality it's supposed to be a long range slow firing weapon.
I agree, except for the breach AR/rail rifle part. I hope it will function as a kind of LMG. (The breach I mean)
My issue is that mid-range weapon users are upset that a close-range weapon is beating them in close-range encounters. It shows a tragic failure to understand game balance. |

This is about the fundamental mechanics behind the Mass Driver that ruins competitive gameplay. You cannot fix the mass drivers bad mechanics with shotguns and SMGs.
I'm asking a simple question, and you're not answering it. |
