whats 'OP' (technically broken not OP) is the LR's heat build up and damage vs Armour. the damage multiplier for the length of firing the laser needs to really be looked at. it far negates the -20% damage to armour that other laser weapons have to deal with. its the only weapon that still broken and been made more OP due to the effective ranging being brought down from 30m to 5/10m. there isn't really much downside to using the LR now.
Laser Rifle is OP?
No. Its not.
Just. Wow.
People will cry about ******* anything.

People will cry about ******* anything. my templar can cut through several armour tankers pretty easily so yeah its pretty OP/Broken. hell my corp mate uses his Viziam on his proto amarr and just laughs as he slices through proto heavies. i've seen him go through 4 suits in less than a clip, no other weapon can do that since the HMGs heat build up got f**ked over
Have you not heard of skill:power ratio balancing in games?
Harder to use items/abilities are more powerful.
The LR is one of the harder to use weapons in the game. And extremely situational besides.
In its niche, and when used correctly, it roflpwns. Working as intended.

Working as intended. What Fizzer means to say is that it can't be OP because it's Amarr
Yup.
Which is totally why I defend weapons like Plasma Cannons, ScRs, Lasers, Nova Knives and all Pistols, while berating weapons like AR, ACR, and SMGs...
I like higher-skill weapons Aeon. I can't help it that all of the Amarr weapons so far have generally higher skill caps...
I've petitioned for low skill Amarr weapons. Like and SMG or a shotgun, but CCP doesn't give a **** about Amarr ****.

Like and SMG or a shotgun, but CCP doesn't give a **** about Amarr ****. Take a joke, dude. While you're at it, don't ever insinuate that the AR is a "low skill weapon" unless you want to show everyone how well you fare with it.
Its definitely one of the lower skill weapons in the game.
The only things that take less are the HMG, SMGs, and the ACR.
But all four of those weapons are just bullethoses by a different name...
None of them have any real drawbacks to their use, besides requiring the player to get within 40m, which is trivial in a game where the objectives and map assets are consciously designed for close quarters combat.
And I have used the AR. A lot. Every vet has. Remember when it was the only generalist rifle in the game? I had to use it then. Not enough has changed about it for me to conclude that it hasn't become anything else but a low skill weapon.
