As an MD user, I find at least 1/3 of my deaths come from myself.
Use this to your advantage. See an MD user. Rush him.
Now, I don't know why I'm giving away our biggest vulnerability, but to stem the tide of tears, I will gladly do so.
Splash damage? You think this makes it an easier weapon to use? Sure, we can fire willy nilly and get kills, but which sane corporation would want us in PC? I haven't personally participated in a PC battle after the buff, but before, I still managed to kill 2 teammates with my Freedom, out of a total of... maybe 10 PC matches. Okay, 6. 4 of them were unplayable due to connection issues.
And doing damage from behind cover. Yes this is true, if we have the higher ground. And ALL weapons can use cover if they have the higher ground. It's a tactical advantage in general.
The drop on our projectiles is so flat at short ranges that to hit you 10m away, from behind cover that protects my whole body, I'd have to shoot straight up and hope the projectiles come back down when you find me cowering behind a barrel. They won't come back down.
The best I can do is pop in and out of cover, launching a shell which deals solid damage each time, a tactic which can also be performed by all other weapon users, except it's easier with my splash. But I'm definitely NOT doing damage from behind cover.
Furthermore, our damage against shields is laughable. If I don't score a hit with my flux it will take 2-3 times longer to take out shields than it does to take out armour, and since my MD doesn't fire rapidly there is ample time for a shield tanker to get out and regenerate.
Our scope, too. It's useless. A projected laser that shows the path of our projectiles? Yes, that would be OP.
Reload speed? I've got Rapid Reload II and it hasn't saved me from shotguns to the face.
Clip size? If we don't have nanohives we're rendered useless, fast.
In a 1v1 scenario, I prefer to run whilst lobbing flux grenades behind me, and only if I hit with a flux will I turn and fight. If not, I keep running.
If we land direct hits, then expect pain.
