For the weapon with the most range it IS too effective in cqc. The charge up time is a broken balancing mechanic that has too many ways to cheat and get around it.
If they reduced the hip fire accuracy that would reduce its cqc potential without harming its long killing power.

(If history has taught us anything) there's no point no one will ever say their toy is OP the only way CCP will balance is through numbers. If more and more people start running it then it will show and I'm now willing to accept the nature of the weapon cycle. If me abusing an OP gun will help push along the hard numbers so be it.
Sadly thus is true. Anyone that plays EVE will remember the days when the Dramiel was the most OP frigate in the game. It outshined dozens of other frigates by a huge margin. CCP finally nerfed the dramiel when that was the ONLY frigate you ever saw on the battle field. Everyone used it because the other frigates sucked by comparison.
The irony is back then the dramiel lovers often posted on the forums claiming dramiels weren't OP when they clearly were.
Sounds familiar.

If they reduced the hip fire accuracy that would reduce its cqc potential without harming its long killing power. That would actually make the RR better, as in more hits would land on strafing enemies. The HMG used to suffer from pinpoint accuracy and then when they gave it spread it was a huge improvement. I think it works so well on the hmg because of how much higher the rof and magazine is.
This.
For a high damage, low rate of fire weapon like the RR, a missed shoot is a lot of damage not being applied to your target. Reduce hip fire accuracy will hurt the RR in cqc but not effect it's long range abilities.

The RR is the only weapon in the game that can kill from zero meters out to 100 meters. Its "balancing" mechanic, the charge up, is easily overcome with scanner spams, pre-charging and pre-fireing.
And more and more people are flocking to it since it has similar dps as the other rifles but significantly more range. Sounds OP to me.
Regardless of what people think about the RR, the only thing CCP will look at when they consider changing an item is numbers. More and more players are useing the RR because it does cqc, medium and long range. And as more people use the RR, the closer it gets to dominating the kill feed, the closer it gets to getting nerfed.
So spam them "not OP" RRs. It's days are numbered.

The ScR has the best balancing mechanic in the game. You can't get around the heat buildup of the ScR like you can the chargeup time of the RR. And you seriously used the breach AR as an example? Another weapon with only half the range of a RR. Only time will tell what happens with the RR, but considering its only draw back can be easily nullified it is only going to get more popular.
