CCP, I wish you could feel the anger and sense of hopelessness I feel. I feel borderline forced into using the AR due to the fact that the other weapons simply do not compete.

The AScR is terribad due to the fact that it fires in a cone, has a ridiculous amount of kick while firing, and has seizure inducing muzzle flash....oh and I almost forgot that it does a laughably low amount of damage unless point blank.

The HMG...yeah heavy frame users are using it in panic as the AR users overwhelm them

The Sniper rifle is the only thing that can really take an AR user down and that is because it stays out of the AR's range.

The LR has a LOWER range than the AR and it is a f****** LASER!

The Semi SCR's have been passively nerfed due to the Armor buffs...with its already low damage rate to armor, even the IMP SCR struggles now.

The shotgun....yeah an AR user just needs to back up and spray.

Plasma Cannon....yeah just yeah.

Mass driver - same as the shotgun - back up and spray.

Forge gun - if the player can kite with the AR and is within the the AR's optimal, that forge gunner is going down.

As you can see, there is no real reason to use anything besides the AR, it is the best killing tool in the game, nothing truly bests it. In order to stay competitive, a smart player would gravitate to the AR's with no hesitation, that's the reason I dropped the IMP and Carthum, and moved on to the GEK and Duvolle - they do every other weapons job (besides swarm launchers), and then does it better.

Why would I use anything else?

Now the nerf AR forces have reason to come for the nerf reduce the weapons range, increase it's spread and kick too.

This by far is not a "nerf the AR" thread, it is a "CCP look at the problem and feel our pain" thread - frankly I'm quite livid that I feel FORCED to play with the AR in order to be competitive.

Now, there is no niche play. It pains my soul. I stuck by my IMP, Carthum, and Viziam as long as I could but now I can no longer. silently begins to sob
