Yes, the MD get a buff of ~+25% damage, which is significant even though they are changing the Prof skill.
I used the MD at various occasions over the last year but not consistently. But when I used it again yesterday I felt that even in its current form it still is a very effective weapon when used against all those militia guys who seem to make up at least 50% of each team in every match. So I'm slightly worried that the damage buff is a bit too much and I'm worried that CCP will over-nerf it and it becomes useless again in a future update.
Can't say if MD will be FOTM again, but I'll definitely give it a try in 1.8, and I think it will at least be a viable choice again.
@JebusMcKing // TIERICIDE, just do it, CCP.

I've used it in PC environments and I can assure you that the MD one on one mid range combat is pathetic to a rifle (doesn't matter which one). It only shines when you use it from second row and without direct line of sight. It is very good in certain situations and when you manage to disorient the enemy (hit direction indicator is your friend...). If a good rifle user sees you first, you are toast most of the time.
That said, I know for sure, that the QQ about the MD will be endless, since no rifle user can stand if somebody kills him with a speciallist weapon. It is absolutely childish, they even have a hard time being killed by another rifle type, but a lazor or MD will make them rage!
They will also QQ about not being able to solo heavies anymore... It's just pathetic and I foresee that CCP will go back to rifle supremacy in the near future, which will make the game bland again. |

I think most of the hate comes from the fact the MD is an explosive weapon with splash damage and quite a radius. Those weapons are always hard to balance especially in regard of scalability.
Even is one MD is fine 6 could be easily OP. And in some regard CCP acts really funny on the one hand they are lowering the amount of grenades to lower explosive spam and on the other hand they double buff the MD (ok the double buff is only true when using the Minni Assault).
And not to forget the increase is quite a big one again CCP decided to make lots of big changes all of a sudden instead tweaking these weapons step by step through smaller adjustments. |

The double buff isn't happening, they already removed the explosive ammo count buff from the assault suits...

it's still just a dropsuit. there are no hardeners on dropsuits. they cannot fire from the redline. they are not even close to overpowered.
