The RR is doing its rightful job. It's a balanced weapon.
RR would be balanced if it couldnt apply full damage at cqc.
my mate had a proto shotty gallente scout. this pro caldari turns around after being hit once and kills my mate with his kal rr at under 5m. now when a shot gunner is behind your back fires once and drops your shield and befor he fires a 2nd shot how should he even possibly die when this caldari logi just turns around and pumps 3 RR shots in to him.
conclusion ;RR is op
No, I support my kirjuun on this matter. The problem is dealing with the mercenary, not the weapon. So its not supposed to be good in CQC and it isn't. Yet, the mercenary has learned his rifle. He has learned its strengths and weaknesses. So with that said, the mercenary maximized the weapons potential by using it in the smartest way possible.
That doesn't qualify it as OP. If anything the user is OP and you can't nerf the user's intelligence.
That's the problem here. It's bad in CQC. So mercs expect to win CQC battles when they see a RR user. That expectancy causes many mercs to die because they expect to win a CQC battle. So in effect, the lethality has lessened because they think they should win it. Meanwhile, the RR user has been training with that weapon and knows how to maximize its potential, leaving a over zealous dead merc on the ground to evaporate.
So no, its not OP. In fact, it's a balanced weapon. I can't tell you how many guys I have seen in a CQC battle thinking that they should win because they have a combat rifle/AR and I have a RR. If its one of my good days, my strafing is excellent and my aim is on target. They often drop faster and you can see the shock on their faces.
The CR is respected so the RR needs to be respected as well. The victims crying about RR are UP. Adjust. And stop thinking because its bad in CQC that means you get a kill a merc free card when a CQC situation pops up
