HMGs had no counter, I'm sorry heavys, but you should not be able to insta kill me from more then 30 meters.
The HMG was overpowered with Sharpshooter. I'll admit it.
Right now it's more like a steady-stream Damage-over-Time Shotgun than anything else, though. It still works well enough if you use it like that.
I just think it should do enough damage at range to give red dots the urge to duck under cover, rather than stand and lol. Otherwise the word "suppression" is meaningless. (In EVE terms: high damage, short optimal, decent falloff)
As for what makes something Over Powered, I don't think it totally hinges on whether something has a counter or not. It hinges on whether the counter is practical.
For instance: Flux grenades are a possible counter to Caldari Logis. It's impractical for every single player to carry flux grenades just to deal with that one, very popular suit. |

There's no sacrifice to using a "non-specialized" weapon when the generalist weapon is good at everything.
That said, I don't the the AR is overpowered since the TAC nerf. It's good, it's popular, but I don't think it's overpowered.
Honestly, I don't think any weapon is really OP with the game the way it is. It's the opposite: some things have been nerfed way too much to hell. Give lazorz some love, CCP!
(Suit balance is a different issue from weapon balance, however...) |

also toe to toe the GEK spanked heavies
That's a whole bunch of nonsense. There are only a few handfuls of players I can't spank toe to toe if I have most my HP. The list includes good shotgunners, excellent heavies, and top ranked AR users.
The AR users win by exceptional dancing. If you beat a good HMG Heavy toe to toe, you had to work for it. |
