Cat Merc, you are very insistent on nerfing everything and that's all that your posts be about. Nerfing stuff.
OP, factors to consider:
HMG proficiency rating
Damage Mods
Personal Skill
I've seen people beast with the basic HMG, the MH82 and the Boundless. It's all about personal skill. I know you guys are intent on nerfing the HMG (and I wonder what the wise folks of General Discussions will choose next after they get that nerfed), but its really no need. Alot of you just suck using a HMG and alot of you lie just to get the weapon and/or class nerfed. The Sentinels are in a good place. |

The heavies are in a good place, I just hope the HMG overheat is a reasonable enough nerf. I do think currently though that the HMG is slightly too good, (why else are there so many heavies around with HMGs?), and you can see this with people getting mowed down 50ft away...). But nonetheless heavies are pretty balanced.
I don't like the HMG overheat idea because the buffs prior to the Sentinel being hugely popular now were designed to make the gunfights better overall. It's not the HMG or the Sentinel's fault that they are doing what they are supposed to.
I can compromise (or better yet, get over) the possible overheat changes for HMG.
It's really unnecessary and just a catering issue to players who just plain suck. |

Because like most people, you view things in black and white. If a person is against the nerf, you and others assume the person uses it. Did you know Im skilled into all suits and run all roles, depending on the situation?
Im all about whats right. I dont seek to nerf what has bested me.

I guess I dont get it because ive never been nerfed. Actually, thats not true, forge gun many moons ago. I never stopped using it though. The word "nerf" is bad. "Balance" is much better. I have yet to see anything get "nerfed" that didnt deserve it. The problem is CCP overdoes it, hence "nerf" instead of "balance". What really needs a nerf is the fotm chasing that has been the scourge of this game.
I've seen plenty of things getting nerfed that don't deserve it. The Sentinels were nerfed before. Became a joke, now buffed and people want to nerf it again.
The ARs, once the dominate rifle out of limited choices was nerfed as well. Later it would be buffed when other weapons came about.
And here's the thing about FOTM that so few understand. There are players who will go with whatever is strongest due to their desire to win. So when you nerf something, they look at the stats and see its not powerful. They then look for the next powerful combination of suits and modules according to the changes. Once found, that becomes the next "FOTM". So we are doing nothing more than chasing a unicorn. In order to destroy FOTM, you would need to make a flat balance attempt. Basically, everything would have to be equal to each other.
