Mass Drivers don't benefit from aim-assist and TTK is so short since 1.4, a militia AR can wreck you before the first slow moving grenade finds its target. Everyone stacking armor plates doesn't really help either since the MD took a damage nerf, all the way back in 1.0 Uprising. |

While it could use an ammo capacity buff, the weapon itself is still fine.
The problem is that the MD isn't competitive with the AR or SR anymore due to Auto Aim. The AR was always pretty damned over powered, and in the hands of a skilled user meant you were dead shortly after being spotted. The addition of Auto Aim now grants that ability to every player in the game, skilled or not.
There are less MD players because they are switching to the over powered flavor of the month.
I have MD prof 4, and get more kills with an Exile AR with 0 SP into ARs. |

Can I get a source on this? I'd like to quote it in another topic. |

I'd like to quote it in another topic. I saw the weapon changes post that wolfman made and thought ARs were getting a nerf. It seems though that now I double checked, they might actually be getting a slight buff... (which doesn't make any sense)
It's been nerfed compared to the other rifles since they out range it, but for some reason they didn't take into account other non rifle weapons that need to dominate over it. If we ever get another respec, I'm tempted to just throw my MD SP into the combat rifle and give up. |
