Because everyone just wants to spawn what they've "skilled into" as if that's the only weapon that should work on the battleground, and screw everything else. That's why you want the weapons you don't use nerfed, and the ones you do use buffed. But here's the thing. I go round after round in FW where a tank will spawn, and I'm the only one out there hitting with any kind of AV. Since I'm only skilled for Militia Swarm launchers, it's not doing much.
Have you heard the phrase "adapt or die" getting thrown around? That's because if you don't adapt to new situations, you die. Don't just expect someone else to do it. You do it to. I went the round I just did 0 - 0 trying to line up shots on a tank that everyone else just seemed to want to pretend didn't exist, or were trying to shoot it with an Assault Rifle as if the rumours that it's OP were true.
Yes, I'm sorry, I realise this is an angry rant, but I'm not asking CCP to change the game. I'm asking the players to adapt. Or die. Your choice. I know you like that one gun you keep spawning with all the time, but if you don't learn how to use other stuff, then you aren't adapting. And it's probably why you keep complaining that this or that need a nerf or buff. It's how you use them that counts, or what you're using it on, and in what circumstances.
Interestingly, I'm not losing anything when I get into one of these matches where everyone just tries to fight everything with their one favourite fit that they'll never change for anything. So usually, in a poorly organised team, I'll go hide in the hills somewhere with some anti armour gear or a sniper rifle, and just do my own stuff as well. I don't care about losing the match, because I'm not losing anything myself. But when I'm on a team that knows what it's doing, like the one before this one where I picked up an uber-turret gunner in my Methana and we went on a murder spree (I swear that guy killed as many people with the turret as I did the front bumper, and I only lost the one Methana as well cuz it's not shitfit) and everyone was adapting to changing circumstances, like two tanks that spawned, and got owned by volleys of swarm fire.
What annoys me is the attitude. The "imma go in guns blazing with my GEK" attitude. Maybe I shouldn't care. Maybe I should just let you keep losing, but then you come on here and whine about your weapons not working the way you want, and I just want you to understand why I don't care. Seriously, anyone that's not preparing an AV fit for tank spawns is a moron.
