The laser rifles biggest weakness is that to deal the high level damage you have to burn a lot of ammo, time and heat getting the thing up to temperature. If you use it to shoot plainly at people from the initial damage level, 90% of people will easily dodge out of the way or move to cover.
This is one of the reasons i think I have heard inexperienced users dub the thing the "assist rifle". Now I'm not the best user by a long shot but even I know it still has its uses. Charging the beam away from enemy eyes before going for the headburn can make the thing lethal at the right ranges.
That being said the Rail Rifle isn't a million miles away from similar engagement ranges to the laser, I wish there was more in it.
Oh and like the guy above said, its very popular with the Amarr assault, not many people use it on any other suits. A few do but very few.

If the Victor's officer laser can be fitted so that it never overheats (on amarr assault, so they say), that's a bit broken.
Laser is supposed to have that handicap and require some player skill to use.
Considering how beast mode things like the Alldins forge is, the Kubos PLC etc... I really feel that the viktors is fine as is.

If you give it a handicap it will lose a lot of its power. I for one do not think it needs that, just my opinion but I am pretty sure there are many others that use it that would agree.
That being said if we are thinking about changing around the ammo and magazine sizes then I might be tempted by the overheat mechanic again, for that to be its balance.
