Yes. I have some snipers of my own and they still do pretty good on basic, in fact they're stronger than before you could say.

The bolt pistol isn't exaggeration either.
If you aim one in some tight CQC it will be just wild guessing, yet even so it is possible for some players to do so with ease. The better way to use it is to be a bit of range away. I have the basic version and I only need one shot for scouts and two for medium suits. Only rare times that people survive either from too much distance or major armouring, though on very miniscule amounts of health left. I feel the Bolt Pistol should've kept its original damage and ammo, but with a small boost to rate of fire and dispersion. You may feel that it isn't super accurate, but it is. The charge time on it just off sets its accuracy and it would rather benefit from having dispersion(It has the highest accuracy of all handheld gun class weapons, being seconded by the breach Scramber Pistol)

The forums have been doing it for two years now, problem is it falls on deaf ears. Swarms previously doing 3000 damage per volley? They didn't care, they instituted it.

The subconscious reaction to a high alpha hit is much different to a chip, chip attack of a rifle - it more often makes you think gtf out rather than fire back and because there is no constant noise source it's much harder to work out the position of the enemy again encouraging you to seek cover rather than retaliating.

Dunno about you but my first reaction to any hit (unless its clearly insignificant e.g. rifle hitting from 3% efficiency or something) is to run to nearest cover unless I know whats hitting me and where its hitting me from (in which case I may still run to nearest cover depending on situation)

I blame something else, it's for some reason too easy to hit with it.

But you are right. However, the first steps need to be mathematical and then you tweak on feeling and gut. That's the difference.

2. Where was discussion on such a huge Nerf to ADS ROF? Asked by a forum user - Rattari answer 'The decision was mine and mine alone'

3. No discussion with any of the community on such a big change that would make ADS afterward useless

4. Even looking at the rest of the quote it is a hit and hope it fixes things and if the stats say its fine, it is fine and nothing will change even if it sucks and is terrible to use in game

5. Even says if the ADS performace stats plummet something will be done and not with a hotfix, well the incubus has lost its AV ability, the python is rarely used now and in every game im seeing more general DS than ADS and as for PC performance i would not be suprised if its fallen off the x axis
