Or they could simply fix TTK on light weapons so that sidearms and speed differences are more relevant than they aren't right now. Nerfing the current OP thing while core mechanics are still broken will just make all the tryhards flock to the next FOTM, they'll have to nerf that and the cycle will continue.

Slot counts are not the problem.

It's time you look at the bigger picture instead of just one suit. You don't fix what exploits broken core mechanics without fixing the broken core mechanics. Nobody complains about logis with sidearms, shotguns, plasma cannons, or any other niche weapons, they complain about logis with ARs and ScRs. Other people just complain about ARs and ScRs. See a pattern?

Core mechanics aren't the problem? They had to nerf scout speed and strafing because of inconsistent framerate, they nerfed swarm launcher range because of draw distance, and TTK took a huge nosedive once they finally fixed hit detection. There's a plethora of examples on how issues with broken core mechanics have affected game balancing to cite, but I'd probably go past the character limit doing so.

Scouts out outran framerate, making them teleport across the field. All pilots complained about invisible swarms. Broken game is broken. That's why the flaylock and grenades became stupid OP after the explosion fix in 1.2. MD was deemed as OP back then but instead of putting on a nerf bandaid, they actually let the problem sort itself out after they fixed hit detection. That's what happens when you fix a core problem to something that's being exploited.

Buffing the assault suit will end up making heavys life harder. Not that CCP cares or anything. It will also make scouts life way harder. They will be one hit K.O. Thats if scouts are still around. Then CCP will have to find out how to buff heavys and the hardest thing buffing scouts.

Yes i do agree buffing the assault would fix the logy problem but then that would create 2 more bigger problems after that. I personally say make it so logy suits cant use damage mods. Removing the Light weapon slot isnt an option either. Thats to strong of a nerf. That would require a respec for logys. There shouldn't be to many respecs until everything is out and the core of the game is "fixed"

I dont mean any of this in a smart*** comment to you Mortedeamor. I give you respect for your idea Im just explaining why it would and wouldnt be a good idea that I think.

Now I'm not saying they didn't need to work on the Flaylock, but do you think they would have brought down the nerf hammer so hard had they managed to fix hit detection in 1.3?
