Lol I picked up the AR Milita variant yester day for the lols since my tanks were not being useful on the map and I did not wish to lose ISK...... I walked out at 19/3 with little to not effort put into aiming, shooting, or even for that matter situational awareness.

I could turn on people already firing at me and melt them in less than a second.

Anyone want to challenge D legendary hero's post? Math is the kind of thing devs listen to.

They don't like using math. AR apologists, in order to function so out of touch with reality, see things differently. They just use name calling, the "Im just so awesome though" approach, or classic bullshit assumptions. "Of course it's the best weapon, it's obviously supposed to be because "insert anything other than balance and/or fun gameplay such as real world comparisons based on made up facts".

ccp will nerf the assault rifle because it should be nerfed.

The Assault Rifle is largely misunderstood. Even I, who fully understands what it is and why it's here, thinks it OP. Give it a nerf. Here are the 1 reason that people THINK it needs to be nerfed, even though that's working as intended:

1) "it d0es everyting!?!1!!!?/" It's a weapon build for Versatility (Proof that the Gallente are #1). It can do long range, mid range, close range, every range. However, I'll get to this in a second.

Why it REALLY needs to be nerfed: The range. The range/damage ratio is way off. For every weapon except the Sniper Rifle, Scrambler Rifle, and Pistol, the more range you have, the less damage you have. Even the SMG does very little damage at it's effective range. With the Assault Rifle at it's effective range, it's still doing a considerable amount of damage. Enough to kill an unfit scout within a couple seconds. And honestly, on 1.2 I think it way, ARs had perfect range. They weren't OP, but they weren't UP. And then starting on 1.3, the range took some steroids again.

So yea. Nerf the range, that's my only request. If you make it so it can't do everything, it'll ruin the concept.

EDIT: Also, I ran with my severely crap fitting of an Assault G-1. Went 17/0. I had a tanker in my squad that went 17/0 with a tank. "But Art, you're amazing and kill me every time, why can't I be more like you, will you marry me?!11!!!?!" I was incredibly tired and literally almost falling asleep. It was basically:
1) See an enemy
2) ADS
3) Press R1
4) Got A Kill
That was literally it. I was way tired, and still managed 17/0. Nerf it. Also noting that I killed about 4-5 Proto-Caldari Assaults during tat match. It's either luck (Something I have none of), the gun (Everyone else seems to think so D:), or my skill (Likely, but probably not).

Lol its still 65 meters, they havent changed it at all, but at least until you scrubs realize it these posts will stop, but ya there is no change in the ar range, as I said weeks ago 2 posts up, 65 meters, you scrubs dont understand distance.

Look at the optimal range.
