My only problem with the LR is the damn aiming mechanics.
The best I can do beyond 80, 90 meters is to sweep my aim back and forth, a little in front and then a little behind of my target because it's near impossible to make the fine adjustments needed at such ranges. Also, aim assist doesn't do jack sh*t. It's more like aim annoyance because it always seems to track people in groups which I'm not shooting at, so I'm left with a nearly overheated rifle that needs reloading and a bunch of people that have huge chunks of health missing.
I can aim well under 80 meters, but then that's RR territory and those things hurt tremendously. They even hurt all the way beyond 90 meters, damn! Then you also got combat rifles and scrambler rifles that can push their hurt out to beyond 70 meters. And while those weapons experience no damage dropoff at close range, the laser rifle does.
So while the laser rifle gets an extra 20 or 30 meters of optimal above other weapons, it dearly pays the price of having horrible aiming mechanics and damage falloff at close range which no other weapon has.

Just takes some getting used to to be able to unconsciously know when to let go of the trigger.
I'm much better than when I started, but I can still improve. I can now let go of the trigger about 10-15 rounds before I overheat without ever looking at my heat meter, but sometimes I let go just as I'm overheating, so there's still room for improvement. I like to have at least 10 rounds to overheat before I let go. On my Amarr assault, that's 70 rounds of worry-free firing, can't imagine using the laser rifle on any other suit, as 50 rounds don't do as much. Gallente sentinels take between 50 and 70 rounds to kill
