Laser takes more skill to use. If you think you can handle it then go for it! :D
Tell that to the people I am vaporising.
Haven't seen an RR that will best my laser.

RRs are better for medium range engagments and can be somewhat tricky to use at super long ranges because of the kick. The RR also has an assault variant if you spend more time in CQC.
Don't get a lot of kills my ass.

That I am. And I preheat where I think the tactic is going to be useful to me and tactically viable. Other wise I just burn out to range...which given my role as Commando is where I should be.
LR is all about positioning.....after which the techniques you use to achieve a kill has to vary.
Pre Heat into the enemy's heavy cover. Burn to range while enemy is in the open

I think it needs another 10-20m effective range (keep the optimal the same) to compensate for the major drawbacks the LR has, as well as some ADS sensitivity refinement. They are extremely vulnerable to snipers and cloaky scouts, since you're kinda forced to camp on nanohives for long periods of time with a giant bright line revealing your location to the whole map.
Still, they are the most interesting and unique weapon I've ever used in any FPS. They can be a lot of fun if you happen to be in exactly the right situation where they're effective.
The RR is incredibly versatile, packs a punch, and has nearly the same range. Most players would probably be better off using the RR.
You hold your position with an LR? News to me.....shifting positions constantly helps some.
As I like to say a single Amarrian with a laser rifle can deny enemy squads an objective....Two? We could probably drop a titan.
