I've dropped standard heavies in what seems like 0.5 seconds before with a normal DS3. I use the CRW with proficiency 3. Begin with a charge shot to the head then a few rapid fire follow ups, drops most anybody. |

You were just in a match with a bunch of Contract Hunters.
Yes, why yes I was! 
I assure you I was not using modded controllers or anything. Just a normal black dualshock 3. It was the CRW with proficiency 3 and 2 enhanced light damage mods to be exact.
EDIT: Oh, now I remember really clearly because Commander Marquess was in my squad, a former Ultramarine. Got kicked because he would not participate in Gallente/Minmatar FW, so now we always have fun whenever we see you guys on the other team. |

Yes, absolutely. I am not using your average diddly daddly scrambler rifle. I am using a higher tier scrambler rifle with high proficiency and multiple damage mods on an Amarr assault firing until I overheat. My fit is pretty much a glass cannon, and if I don't get all my hits to land on target than you'll probably survive and I'll be stuck in the overheat animation with very weak defenses. Also note that I had the high ground on you in the consolidation matrix so your head was an easy target.
And then there is also the fact that the scrambler rifle isn't worth squat up close, the hip fire is really bad. |

For those wondering, this happened on spine crescent.
Now I must ask, are you complaining about the particular instance where Commander Marquess and I took two enemies out on the bridge at Alpha? If so, do not forget that Commander Marquess hit you with splash damage of his highly fitted Plasma Cannon before I came in to clean up immediately after. |

No, I was in my Standard Minmatar Basic Medium Frame then. It's pretty squishy! I'm talking about when we were inside the Delta Building. I had followed a Caldari up the stairs, and you were waiting on the small platform up in the side of the structure. I had just began to hose him down when you dropped me.
Ah, the Consolidation Matrix. Anyways, keep in mind that this particular situation isn't necessarily a CRW + Prof 3 + 1 Complex DMG > Boundless HMG + Prof 5 + 1 Complex DMG. There are several other factors to consider here. Like
1. You were chasing someone so I got you while you were distracted
2. You were in an open area so could of been getting shot by other people as well
3. I had the high ground making you an easy target, especially for headshots
There's a lot more to it than just brute force. I had the clear tactical edge, wouldn't really say that makes the Scrambler Rifle OP. Oh and in case you were wondering since you logged out during the match, the Minmatar did lose.  |

That makes me wonder, is the HMG severely underpowered?
It could be, I haven't put enough play time into the HMG to really make a proper opinion. However the HMG seems to be more of a damage over time weapon while the scramblers (both pistol and rifle) are high alpha hit and run weapons. They shouldn't have the same initial kill speed, but the HMG should definitely be able to kill more over a prolonged battle. |

But I mean, think of it like the scrambler pistol. It has the potential to drop enemies even faster than the scrambler rifle. So how do you defend yourself against that? And what makes the rifle any different? |

This has been Marquess Lancaster on Plasma rounds! Well, technically speaking, since I am a Cloned Merc, wouldn't my body actually lack any racial genetic distinction? My main Dropsuit is an Amarr Heavy Frame. You cannot destroy my mind. Do you see where this is going?  The suit itself is just a suit. you have chosen Minmatar as your race! No Amarr would ever fight for the Minmatar Filth that is the republic!  The Clones have no genetic racial identity. All of this lies solely in the mind, which you will never be able to destroy or enslave. Your Amarrian mind is enslaved, however, by this concept of "god" and by your "Empress" who is nothing but an insatiable temple prostitute.
You do not have a soul, you have a body.
You are the soul, and your soul has your racial identity. Amarrians do not have an enslaved mind, rather the MInmatar have a corrupted mind via tampering by the Gallente. |

Skimmed through some of this so going to reply without quoting my references, sorry.
20 meters is a gross underestimation for the distance I was shooting you at. Also whenever you are in the Consolidation Matrix it can be hard to tell how many people are shooting at you, but I can assure you I was never at the matrix by myself.
And actually True sometimes I do run solo, very rarely since we have so many great people in PIE Pub. Whenever I do it's usually just a quick ambush in public contracts though. Can't wait until you get back though, our characters are practically clones of each other in terms of skills, fits, and play styles which makes any scrambler rifle QQ even that much more frustrating for the enemy. Demoralize the opposition, let them know that there is no peace outside of the Lords grace! |

Thanks you. I mean, you don't hear me complaining about the times I think I can take down a Starter - Medic faster than he can me, yet the militia AR drops me like a fly. |
