Couldn't even kill a standard Caldari Assualt now that they can have 500 shields and 400 armor.
Guess it's time to run an ASCR with a complex damage mod on my logi again.
I'm not a fan of tiercide like this. More slots should mean more versatility, not "now I can fit 5 shield extenders"
Most modules have stacking penalties for a reason. If you can't stack more than 3 myofibs, and stacking more than 3 of any other module is considered "worthless", then why is it okay to tank suits with insane amounts of HP?
:/
Not like anyone uses Mass Drivers anyways.

Considering I completed the Krin's challenge with only a Mass Driver, and have footage of 50+ kill games with it...
Yesterday I got at least 10-20 kills per game running it on a logi. So yeah, going an entire game without a single kill for me is saddening.

Whatever
You guys can have fun with a game where armor hitting rifles are the only viable weapons.
I'm not complaining that I can't get 30 kills. I'm frustrated and sad that I can't manage a single one with a weapon that I've developed a lot of skill with to make DECENT where most players would never even give the weapon a chance.
It's one thing when an overpowered weapon is indirectly neefed because something else was buffed. It's another when a weapon is made near useless from a point where it was mediocre at best before.

The MD is my favorite weapon. Has a ton of range if you know what you're doing, too.
I can hit pretty consistently at or exceeding RR range
Oh yeah. It was how I grinded out 125 assists yesterday by firing like artillery into the groups of enemies in ambush while the RRs picked them off when they got weak.
I've used the Mass Driver so much that the arc is programmed into my muscle memory for how far I need to aim upwards to hit an opponent at any distance on flat ground.
But when the entire team is literally just shield tanked assaults and sentinels, it's embarassing and sad to realize that the meta changed and your favorite weapon is no longer something you can use to be effective enough to even just defend yourself or help your team.

I'm sorry, I have at least 1000 mass driver kills against shield suits, everything from Caldari Sentinels to Scouts with 400 HP. You just don't normally see huge amounts of shields unless they are running proto.
Whenever I would run into the rare proto Caldari Assault I would just ignore them and run away. But now literally any suit is capable of 400+ shields with excess armor, and I wasn't expecting everyone and their mother to run these 900+ ehp suits
So what am I supposed to do? Give in to a rifle that I don't like? No matter what suit they run they will always have a layer of shields, and shield killing weapons can't do **** about the layer of 500+ armor that everyone has. The Mass Driver used to be extremly useful for bursting through that armor after the 200-300 shields on most suits. I used it for that ability, to hit around corners, destroy equipment, and of course to scare enemies out of hiding as a support weapon for my teammates.
But 400? 500? That was not a common number to see everywhere.
I play to have fun, not just to skill into the most OP fit that everyone else is using simply because it's good against the meta. If there was a mass driver weapon that did extra damage to shields then of course I'd switch to that if I saw everyone using shield suits. But there isnt, so I can't do that like someone who enjoys long-range rifles who would be able switch from the RR to the SR and keep the same relative playstyle.
