i was pissed at first but after playing some it's a fix not a nerf even tho on paper it is a nerf. the main fix is there's now variation in the weps people are picking. it's possible this nerf might have brought the breach out of it's redundancy.
the only ppl i could see being really upset about it is if you always ran proto AR, and really whoever did that %100?.. please understand that i am an AR user and not just trying to have AR's nerfed because i dont like to die to them, i use AR's exclusively. if we get our damage back then great, but i doubt that will happen so might as well look at the bright sides.
the nerf to damage equivalates to 1 or 2 seconds if even that of extra time it takes to kill a heavy and probably fractions of a seconds when fighting assault logi or scout. which is not that something that makes you cry out, "omg it's so hard to get kills now," when playing the new build now. the balac still owns. the duvolle is still in second.
this nerf actually makes playing standard and militia assault more feasible, when 2 ARs 1vs1 has become less gear extensive, there is still the gear factor but it's just less of factor now. the militia and standard rifles actually were' buffed damage wise if understand it right.. and the prototypes were nerfed, this has closed a gap some of just whoever had the duvolle was an I WIN button, it's still an advantage tho.
yes it is harder for me to get kills with proto somewhat now, but easier with standard..
i would prefer the old damage back, but when you step back and look at the entire pic it's not as bad as you think. it's not as AR players we don't benefit from the nerf also, as it is harder for us to get kills but also harder for us to be killed now that people can't zoom cam with a recoiless OP duvolle. everyoning including assault's survivability has increased, harder for us to get kills but also harder for us to be killed by other assaults.
and saying new players will be turned off by iron sights and recoil is not true because that's what they're used to from other games. before a new player was more like "whats this stupid looking sniper camera doing on an AR with no recoil/ironsights?" that was actually awkward for new players because no other FPS is that stupid with an AR setup.. |
