Ok, please consider my English writing levels are pretty low and i dont have acess to an English Corrector in this computer.
TY


ON THE RR, yeap.Pretty much what the title says.

1st- The opinion on the RR being OP is completly based on personal experiences but its not a hard fact, the RR is not the weapon dominating the battlefield like the TAC,LR,AR or MD were in their time.
2nd - As i stated before,this NERF THREADS are more based on personal experience of their (butthurt) Posters than actual Facts. In MY PERSONAL experience for example, the COMBAT RIFLE is the one thats completley broken, (The STD CR shoots 3 bullets per R1 button press for a total of 96 BASE damage, more than a VIZIAM SCR RIFLE per shot,while having better fitting requirments, a better scope,better ROF, no overheat mechanic....)
AND STILL you dont see me requesting a NERF for it.
Why?

I've learned something most of you still havent.

CCP ends up BUFFING UnderPowered stuff eventually.
(Some posts stating why the weapon is Underpowered is more than enough)
BUT they also nerf stuff on request,...OUR REQUESTS.

Example:
GÖª CCP noticed Tanks were Underpowered in Uprising.
GÖª Tankers Cried EVERY single day for AV nerf.

And what happened?
GÇó CCP Buffed tanks to reasonable levels
GÇó CCP Listened to QQ tankers, Nerfed AV.

Result:
Tank s***storm we are in now.
So, inbalance.

The Rifles are all in a GOOD PLACE RIGHT NOW, balanced among themselves pretty well:
AR: unlike most butthurtz Duvolle AR users pre 1.7, the ARs are in a good place right now. Good damage bonus, Decent range for a CQ oriented weapon, Great Hipfire, Good RoF. Mostly a Weapon that Apllies CONSTANT damage to the enemy in good chunks. If i can Do with a 'Toxin' AR (and im a pretty sucky AR user), you can do with a GEK or higher....

CR: Good range, Good Fitting Requirments, Excesive RoF and Very good DPS. The weapon is Overall one of the best in the game, if the player does not mind the Burst Mechanic.The weapon truly has no weaknesess.


The SCR RIFLE: The SCR rifle has HORRIBLE Fitting requirments, horrible Overheat mechanic that after 1.8 with the Loss of the Heat sink in the amarr assault, it will make it even harder to use, a Sight that does not really help to fully use the weapons range...Overall a Mess. BUT , the ''CHARGE FEATURE'' is what makes the weapon powerful never the less.
The High Alpha damage of a (connected) charge shot of a SCR makes all the drawbacks bareble since it makes the weapon the best option for 1 vs 1 engagements with a very good Range...for now.

RR: The main weapon in discussion here. The weapon has High Damage per bullet , the best range and a miserable charge time (0.25) that was the thing SUPPOSED to balance it in CQ. EVEN if a charge time nerf (to .4 or .5) the riffle will be best at longer ranges.Now, before considering to touch the weapon ,i propose to let CCP know that other weapons need a buff, before NERFING one of the weapons that can actually kill as it is.The weapon has Very good hipfire and range,but looses many times to AR's and CR's in closer ranges due to higher RoF and lack of charge time and in the Med-Long ranges it goes 50/50 vs the SCR rifle since a charged shot wIll take more than -+ your HP...

Overall, i get into the forums and all i see is . RR is OP, RR needs nerf, whatever posts.
Some of them even have REAL good solutions for balancing it, but i say, AGAIn, for the last time.

Buff the other weapons before even talking about nerfin these one please.

Ty for your time.

This is a lie, nothing changed but hit detection and Aim Assist. The MD wasn't touched at all, so you can't compare the 2 since the MD was never a problem in the first place.

Now, Nirwanda, you know I love you, but you're just being dramatic.

The AR is virtually impossible to miss with in CQC. If the AR is landing every shot, how can the RR be more accurate? If you mean that RR users are scoring more headshots, that's skill, not the weapon.

Still struggling to see any actual argument for the RR being OP in CQC. It just seems to be 'a RR killed me in CQC. It shouldn't be able to do that, it's a long range weapon!'.

It's true that RR users aren't defenceless in CQC as laser users or snipers are. But they are at a big disadvantage due to spool time and mediocre DPS (especially compared to CR and ScR). That's what we call balance.

I've been playing with both a CR, and a RR.

A lot of people are calling out the RR to be overpowered, and i agree. When i can see a heavy in CQC range, and i have a RR i will gun him down without hesitation. Nine times out of Ten he will drop within 5-10 seconds of sustained fire depending on the fit. I'm talking from personal experience here.

For a weapon that's meant to be a fast firing, albeit weaker sniper rifle? That's pretty damn good. Being able to drop a heavy and a couple of people, Then completely destroy anyone who's between 50m and 70m from me after doing so? this is where people start getting the idea that the RR is a little overpowered.

Compared to the CR (My primary choice of rifle) maybe, Seven out of ten engagements with heavy suits i'll take, and even then they have to be facing the other damn way for me to even consider it! With the RR it's just Spool, strafe and fire away. Taking too much damage? why not drop back 20 meters and apply the same amount of damage from there!

The RR needs more hip fire dispersal, and maybe some damage tweaks.

But in all honesty? most of the rifles shine in their given situations.. It's just the RR shines a little brighter than the rest.

Yea, in a damn pub match where folks don't know what they doing. That's no place to judge it from. Take the RR into a PC battle and see how many folks are strapped with CRs

Sometimes, when im tired of the SCR, i fit a Gek on my amarr logi with 2 cx dam mods and go berserk. XD
The only thing i miss about my SCR rifle is almost never having to resupply and the Charged shot....

people saying AR isnt good anymore is the same people who used ti just because it was the most powerful gun, and now that there is another one that rivals it complain....

You seem to not understand quite a few things very well, the rail rifle is better or matches the Ar in every stat except the what it does better, ehich gives it about double the Ars range for no downside.

If you can't do that with an Rr, yet you can do it with an Ar? they're basically identical, except the rr trades the ar's rof for damage per shot. If you can't do it with a Rr too, you're pointing the wrong direction.

With the lower rof there's even less recoil than an Ar has to deal woth, so you don't have a reason to miss at mid range besides your skill.

It's not always AA, though it usually is, however a long range weapon shouldn't be dishing out the same damage as a short range weapon period.

And the reason we have so many different rifles is that some should excel in certain situation, except the rr makes the Ar obsolete while giving the user more flexibility than an ar also.

And the rr is better than the ar at everything, how do you not see the imbalance?

This is my rifle. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

My rifle is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life.

My rifle, without me, is useless. Without my rifle, I am useless. I must fire my rifle true. I must shoot straighter than my enemy who is trying to kill me. I must shoot him before he shoots me. I will...

My rifle and I know that what counts in this war is not the rounds we fire, the noise of our burst, nor the smoke we make. We know that it is the hits that count. We will hit...

My rifle is human, even as I, because it is my life. Thus, I will learn it as a brother. I will learn its weaknesses, its strength, its parts, its accessories, its sights and its barrel. I will keep my rifle clean and ready, even as I am clean and ready. We will become part of each other. We will...

Before God, I swear this creed. My rifle and I are the defenders of my country. We are the masters of our enemy. We are the saviors of my life.
