I was behind a rock, firing at a guy in the open, he found a teeny divot in the terrain and 3 shot me, how is that "he had better positioning"?

Also when if ever does an Amarr Assault or Calscout SCR user ever die? Most of the time it's just user error, where they didn't strafe right or they missed 2 too many shots. In my MinAssault i lose to Galscouts even when he's sitting perfectly still firing shotgun rounds at me.
Also I'm pretty sure the fact that "the most OP weapon/class in the game"(sentinel/HMG) getting beat by a SCR is evidence enough that it itself is ridiculously OP and needs toning down.

Referring to my personal experience again, I almost never see an ScR anywhere but the market.

Amarr assault is not OP, it's Scrambler Rifles that are. Lasers are also kind of OP but can be countered by moving in close, and take a bit more concentration to use than Scramblers (With a Scrambler you just have to try to avoid overheating, with a Laser you have to get as close to overheating as possible before you stop firing).
The amount of damage a Scrambler can do with a charged shot is insane, even half charge it gains way too much damage.


Scrambler Rifle is one of the most popular weapons right now, you play with your eyes closed?

Agreed on all counts. In my admittedly simple and biased mind, MN/CA Sentinels aren't broken because (1) they aren't spammed in PC and (2) they go down quickly when hit from behind by their supposed CQC counters (knives, shotguns, flux+acr, etc) and (3) they can be effectively engaged at range as their HP reserves are typically less ridiculous than those of GA/AM.

Sprint speed isn't the problem, nor is it a limiting factor to a defender. The problem is how ably these fortresses respond when flanked. If I intend to move a red blob, in most cases, I must use a blue blob. The maximum land speed of either blob is of little consequence thanks to modern transportation methods.

Retired my Core Locus Grenades after observing an Amarr Sentinel's remaining HP after being hit with two back-to-back. Perhaps my prototype anti-armor grenades were bugged, but I positively hit him directly with both and what followed was positively not shredding. But while we're on the topic, imagine how fast blobs would dissipate if Sentinel resistance were inverted such that Locus Grenades did bonus damage rather than giggle damage!

Freely defer to the Heavy Community on how to fix insta-spin-and-win.

We need not play the guessing game, gentlmen! The data we need is here:

Let's have a look at those Light Weapons ...
Mr Breach! Nothing else quite compares.
That nasty ScR? It isn't even on the map!

But OP contends that AM Assault is OP.
If it isn't his ScR, could it be his King HP?

Let's have a look at Low Slot Modules ...
Bricks for the win! A staggering 99.9%!

- Code Breakers
- Kin Cats
- Card Regs
- Profile Dampeners
- Range Extenders
- PG Upgrades
- CPU Upgrades
- Shield Regulators

^ Add all these up. Multiply by 55. Then you get close to the least popular Brick Module.

How to Fix

* Add more drawbacks to Brick Modules (gotta touch this).
* Make EWAR more meaningful to MedFrames.
* Buff KinCats, CardRegs and Shield Regulators.
* Relocate Code Breakers and PG Upgrades to High Slot.

@ Victor Moody Stahl

It would appear that you and I are dangerously close to becoming like-minded. This doesn't bode well for you, good sir, for I am but a simple man :-)

How to Fix

* Add more meaningful drawbacks to Brick Modules (gotta touch this).
* Make EWAR more meaningful to non-Scouts.
* Buff KinCats and CardRegs.
* Merge Shield Regulators with Energizers and/or Rechargers.
* Relocate Code Breakers and PG Upgrades to High Slot.

I rather doubt that we will ever be like-minded, purely because I think that the shotgun should have lower RoF and more range. This would be a huge benefit for, say, assault suit users that want to carry shotguns, and especially commando users (who are very slow, and basically rely on the enemy to get close to them... which can work well, admittedly)

There is, however, the fact that I would recommend we fix scouts first ...

... and then kick heavies out of CQC dominance because that role simply does not work for them- or rather, it nullifies 90% of their disadvantages, while not marginalizing any of their advantages. Which as we are seeing currently, leads to heavies being spammed everywhere, and generally overperforming. I almost wish for the days when the HMG wasn't super awesome and there was a relatively high number of heavies carrying light weapons instead... oh wait, that was actually idiotic (the sentinels w/ LW part). Sorry, just had a moment of brief insanity.

On Module Adjustments

1) AM Sentinel
2) GA Sentinel
3) AM Assault
4) Breach Assault Rifle
5) Heavy Machine Gun

Broken stuff. Items in need of tuning. Listed in no particular order.
Please and thank you. That is all.

Breach AR is fine. It kills at CQC versus shield based tankers (working as intended). You will get owned in a 1Vs1 fight versus a medium long range weapon outside it-¦s 40m optimal.
