Also the blast radius buff was unnecessary, even the devs didnt know about it so my guess is its a mistake.
It's a grenade launcher, grenades explode, grenades hurt armor. The blast radius is needed because it's an area denial weapon that uses moderate damage to scatter organized squads and **** off people that zerg rush. But even with all those strengths it's got terrible field longevity, it's weak to shields, fires a slow moving projectile with dropoff and the AR beats it 9/10 in open ground. If you see a MD on the kill feed, use common sense and don't rush around corners or else you're going to have a bad time. |

Tallen Ellecon wrote:The small clip size and slow fire rate make the MD an easy enough weapon to avoid. It's not an aim and click, it has an arc, it has limitations. It's practically impossible to get hit by a MD when you are on the high ground. If people learned to move they'd find a much easier time avoiding them. If you are caught in corner or behind cover and start getting pummeled by MD splash I have news for you: That is its intended role. That is why the splash damage is lower, it's not trying to kill you, it's trying to get you out in the open so other people will kill you. It is highly effective in large groups. Instead of getting angry at the weapon, take into account the fact that you were taken out by more than just the MD. You were taken out by a large group of people, the MD was just the loudest. That is why it is a terror weapon, and that is why you want to nerf it, because it scares you, as it should. It is not OP.

Figured they weren't, just worried because the mass QQing that goes on. It's probably not popular in the office anymore. |

As for me when they throw my Flaylock onto the not used sin bin pile, meh no big deal I have my AR to fall back to. I also will be dumping SP's into SMG's now. Minmitar bonus still gives me extra rounds on SMG's as well.
MD has been hated since it was properly coded in Chrome, I can handle the heat. It's still a situational weapon with bad field longevity and lower DPS than a MLT AR. You can't nerf something that's already under performing. If people are going to cry about something, it might be the laser, I hear you can kill with it again.... |
