Yeah sorry, but the MD will still not be OP, maybe usable again but not OP. It is still a slow firing weapon and it is still harder to aim than any rifle. Minmatar commandos with MD may be a force to be feared but I will wait to see. The MD will still situational probably, if you have the high ground you are golden.
Most tankers are like sand people. They frighten easily, but will quickly return...and in greater numbers.

Rifles are getting nerfed, Mass Driver buffed.
If Mass Driver can beat the rifles in direct combat, while taking half the aiming, this ain't gonna be pretty.
At the very least they should remove the aiming jerk that the Mass Driver does to whoever it hits.
Except that MDs take twice the aiming of rifle not half. Much harder to get rounds on target with an MD than any rifle

Be as paranoid as you like OP, fact is that the MD (even with buffs) will only outperform direct hit weapons where they always have tight spaces or when the MD user has elevation on his opponents. Since they flattened the arc on the MD since Chromosome landing rounds on enemies behind cover is mostly restricted to when MD operator has elevation.
I ran MD through all of chromosome and half of Uprising. I have Prof 5 in the weapon currently, I just don't use it much because unless I am playing support logi to a full squad my AScR or RR is a much more effective weapon. I am well versed with how the MD works and its limitations, the damage buff is going to make it powerful and a little more viable, but it still has serious drawbacks and is very easily countered. I'd suggest you spend some time using the weapon before declaring it is going to be OP.
