Sorry guy, while I personally don't think the RR is OP, I also don't believe CCP makes balance changes just on forum QQ. They have a ton of hard data on what weapons are getting kills in Dust and are basing nerfs/buffs off of that. Supposedly all rifles are getting some nerfing which may be a good thing, as I think TTK needs to go up some. My worry is that with rifle nerfs combined with resistances means Sentinel suits are going to be little walking battlemechs able to engage whole squads without Sentinels by themselves. Probably will be good for my main character who is logi, but won't be good for the game as a whole.

Also, as someone with a degree in a science, changing so many variables together is a terrible idea to me

Agreed on all counts (nerd epeen moment, I have multiple degrees in the hard sciences

). It's a common diversionary tactic around here to blame the forum community and all the "completely baseless" QQ for getting things nerfed, because there's obviously no possible objective reason that could conflict with their belief that something is not OP.

The bigger issue is not whether or not something CCP thinks is OP really is, because yes for all their flaws they do use some data, it's how they think it needs to be changed. Subtle changes are not so much their style.

Most tankers are like sand people. They frighten easily, but will quickly return...and in greater numbers.

Something that guys who werent quick enough to get a tank delivered wont fear or have a fighting chance against might do it. I stopped using aim assist and lost 6 points in 1 month off of my kdr and havent cried once about rail rifles or combat rifles. The fact that tanks OPENLY ruin game after game after game yet no one says sht is obsurd. Scrubs run this game. Please try using the combat rifle WITHOUT aim assist. If you cant aim fire rate, damage mods and armor will not help you. And if you do use aim assist why do you care about any rifle. Dust 514 community: grow a pair! You are welcome for my leadership.

Actually a lot of people have complained about tanks, to the point that tanks are going to have their mods looked at again and changed. Rail Rifles are also going under the nerf bat during next update, aim assist is also not as high tweeked as it used to be thankfully as well.

Lets also love how the charge up for the SCR will usually just glitch and not hit anything useful unless you know the headshot glitch with it. It will never be that popular of a weapon because it has a lot of weaknesses the Rail Rifle really doesn't.

In older builds heavies had as much health as our current tanks. Also if they change a stat on a weapon the weapon is the only thing effected. If you increase EHP you havevto buff ALL health related modules. Thats a lot of work, nerfing the rifles is the better solution this time around. Tanks 514* I told you, I bloody well told you.

If they see one weapon dominating the field, there's a good chance that will at least take a look at it. Don't fret though I'm sure RR will be fine, it's a rifle after all. CCP will not make it a 2nd class weapons like all the weapons outside of the main 4.

That's a fair assumption, since, as you mentioned they tend to change too many variables at once, which suggests to me that they don't have the worlds most sophisticated approach to it. ANOVA, being so commonly used, would make sense. Tbh, I don't know enough about the more sophisticated methods (that's what biostatisticans are for!) to say if there's a better suited one.
