Well if you think the lasers are overpowered i can give you details in what it is capable:
-area denial for infantry
-medium-long range support

not capable:
-CQB fights
-assaulting objectives

In my eyes its mainly a squad weapon to support your guys against people who are on medium-long distance. You can aswell defend a objective as long you have a good and wide view in the area where hostile troops need to proceed. However a laser rifle is not capable in taking a objective cause its just not good enough to fight people up close to a objective. Thats where AR guys hop in and go for the hack. What you guys mainly are getting upset is when 1 laser rifle gets into a very good overview spot and basically camps it like no tomorrow on ambush (my speciality). This is a legit tactic cause on ambush you are supposed to get as many kills as possible and dont die to much. And you guys forget the fact that a AR kills up close much quicker then a laser rifle. And shotguns have the potential of 1 hit kills. The AR is a jack of all trades. You get what you pay for. It doesnt shine in any special situation but it is a decent allround weapon. The damage is fine on it cause when you get up close you basically force the laser rifle guy to use his sidearm which is high likely to be inferior to your assault rifle. And i highly doubt that you will see tons of lasers in the future. Simply due to the fact when a n00b picks up this weapon he does terrible with it. To be good with it you must have these things:

-situational awareness
-good positioning
-good aim (cause you need to be aible to keep the beam on the target)
-squad support who helps you to defend your camp spot on ambush

Yes i can get 30-0 on ambush simply cause nobody is actually bothered to take me out. Before the maps became smaller i had massive problems with snipers who hunt me down. And whats so hard to pick up a laser rifle by yourself and trying to fight back? Its basically then the same situation with AR vs AR. The guy with the better reflexes and aim will win. And its not really difficult to find the laser rifle user. Just look from where the bright green beam is coming.

If they are not OP why did i just jump in a match without a single AR and everyone was running LRs?....

Everybodys jumping on that right now because they are OP.

Everybodys jumping on that right now because they are OP. Seems like this is your personal bias. You are using anecdotal evidence to suppor it too, which is, well, weak. I have seen many games where there would be a bunch of MD users, and because MD is a loud weapon, it seems that there are a lot more ppl using it then there actually are. And I was in a bunch of games where there seemed to be a bunch of LR users, some of whom seemed decent. The vast majority of games tho, if you don't go cherry picking, consist of the same old AR crowd and they are not going anywhere. Ppl who used to be killers with AR are still killers with AR. I am for one glad there is a bit of diversity introduced to the game where ppl are not cornered to choose between AR and HMC just because every other weapon is garbage.
