DUST Search - Why do people say MinAssaults are OP?

From what I have seen, an optimized mk.0 player with skill and a CR will most times lose to an optimizd ak.0 player with equal skill and an AScR/ScR. This usually pertains to engagements at all ranges.

Now, if we take the same mk.0 player and put him against an equally skilled gk.0 player with a Breach AR and let them fight it out within 10-15m of each other, the end results could go either way, but I'd favor the gk.0 in this instance as the Breach AR hits so damn hard.

As for engagements at 60m+, a ck.0 user with an ARR will make quick work of any mk.0 user.

Many times, players will state that the MinAssault benefits from broken strafe speeds and weird hitboxes, giving them an advantage over all other suits in game, but I'd like to disagree. I feel that the "overuse" of the MinAssault is garnering it some unwarranted hate as players try to project false claims of OPness onto it.

This problem has occured in the past with CalScouts, yet, nothing was ever proven to show that they were superior to the other Scout racial variants in terms of strafe speeds and hitboxes.

I'm not a MinAssault user, so I can't relate any experiences of my own regarding the way it handles. I can, however, relate my experiences as aspectator and from what I've seen, there is nothing special about them. They're just like any other suit. The only notable difference is that they're quite popular and a good majority of players use them.

So now your thing is garnering attention as FoTM like a lot of other things before it and you want to preserve it. Nay I say. NAY! You shall not be allowed to. NERF I WANT NERFS BECUZ THINGS AND STUFF AND NUMBERS! I don't think it's OP but it does have a lot of great attributes. It regens stamina a little too quickly though and frankly was not deserving of a buff to that attribute (though that's mainly a scout issue not an assault issue). It's rifle is also very competitive at short to mid range to the point where it over performs but can still fly beneath that radar. It's the Rifter of Dust plain and simple. Cheap, adaptable, a little squishy, but ******* wrecks your face if you let it get close......and it will get close.
