Seriously? The most under-powered weapon in the game except in extreme circumstances and you want it nerfed? Like, holy christ when will the complaining ever end. The Laser Rifle is a skill-shot weapon that's had more time being under-powered than any other weapon save for the Plasma Cannon. If anything it should be -BUFFED- to compensate for the fact that its delicate range is hard to manage around and it doesn't seem to benefit that much from Aim Assist, making it even harder to use.

This isn't even touching on the fact that it's overheat damage used to be so insane that a Prototype Laser Rifle could one-shot a scout that was using it just by feedback damage alone. Seize time is another factor, and then you have the limited magazine capacity which is just brutal due to the high likeliness of a miss.

Then there's the fact that aren't any variants and because of that the Laser Rifle is stupidly constrained to a single variant with little to no mercy in getting used to it. I mean, honestly, how many new players actually use the laser rifle? Do you know of any? Because I don't. In fact the only couple of people I even see using it are the ones you mentioned and maybe Kane Spero but he's a total scrub.

OH AND THE MOST HILARIOUS PART IS THAT IT'S NOT ON THE SALVAGE LISTS, SO YOU CAN GET EVEN GET IT IN THE EOM SCREEN.

God, you're sitting here wanting to nerf it because #reasons. Oh well, my proposal is this: Observe the fact that you suck, Deal with it, because what i'm about to say next is going to blow your mind: The cat nip laser rifle. Hits automatically puts out an aroma of cat nip. Right, you following? Even have a splash radius of 2.5m with splash damage equal to 75% of it's direct damage. All of that might actually make it a balanced weapon. Don't even think about saying otherwise.

Think you can handle that? If not, get off the forums. Before I grab my anti-freeze. Now read the capitalized letters of every sentence in the underlined portion, idiot.

I skilled into the Viziam Laser Rifle recently. I can report that it is indeed OP AF. I've gotten kills with it at near 150M. Once it gets going, it does extreme damage. I've killed Caldari Sentinels with it in under 2 seconds. Armour-tanked suits aren't even much of a problem either. It's also usable in CQC. The trick is to warm it up behind cover, then pretend you're burning ants with a magnifying glass. The magazine capacity isn't a problem because I always carry Nanohives, of which you get, what, 6? You'll never run out of ammo. And just like the SCR, the overheat is easy to manage. The only reason why you don't see many is that it's highly specialised, and it works best on open maps, or when you're roof-camping.

LIES......


iam gallente and I love my laser.

your species must adapt and learn the difference between a laser beam and a shiny coin.
