IMO, the RR already had issues in CQC and was already the worst of the rifles in this regard.
With a doubling of the hipfire kick, along with an increase in charge time (which can be mitigated, to a certain extent, by pre-charging the gun)I suspect it will be more than doubly worse in this regard.
That said, the RR will continue its long range dominance. The ScR is a workable alternative, if you can become comfortable with the single shot and heat buildup dynamics. The LR suffers from an even more extreme CQC weakness, so I don't see it as a viable alternative.
Personally, I'm likely going to go away from the RR in favor of the CR. It's a better weapon up close, has little difference in range, and I find a hole on the far end of the range far easier to fill than a hole up close -- particularly with the prevalence of short-range scouts and active scans. |

Depends on who I'm going up against.
Shield based, I pull the ScP. Armor based I stick to the RR.
But really, in CQC, I expect to die if the other player isn't a noob...because that's what generally happens. |

Depends on the map and the competition, but my use of the ARR/RR has gone down such that the only time I bring it out is if I have to get rid of someone camping at the edge of its range or guard an approach (for instance the outside points on the bridge map). At last check I had 3 fits that had it, and the remaining 27 were mostly BrAR and HMG fits.
Then again, my playstyle is not distance fighting or roof camping. It's taking and holding points (and winning rather than padding KDR) While the RR can be useful in both attacking and defense, I simply find other weapons much better suited to the job and much more enjoyable to use....and outside of roof camping, there is no place to hide from the ever present scouts.
Pubs are much easier in this regard, but in short, no. |
