So no, the Mass Driver is not overpowered.
I don't have MD, and I can teach you how to use it |

I can understand some of the hate, even though I am a MD/Medic. It is only of the only weapons that is a no-revive kill immediatly from any shot.
Other than that, yeah .... I use it to supress so I can revive downed duders, or spam it out at the group of 6 clumped idiots trying to pop and shoot a corner. Really funny to get 3 kills and watch the bodies fly.
Like stated, get any elevation, be a PITA to aim at, or use the still OP AR to kill me first and your MD "problems" are over. Or ya know .... HTFU. |

I kill myself with the md all the time in cqc  Granted I exclusively use just the assault variants. I think it's the regular mds that perform better at cqc due to the smaller blast radius and higher damage. |

1st.- Try getting the high ground, and stay there
2nd.- Don't come too close, very few mass driver users have the fear of blowing themselves - as long as you die with them.
3rd.- In middle range, try making unpredictable moves as you close up your range even if it takes you more time, this goes for every weapon (especially the sniper)
4th.- If you see him raising his arm making a fist, unfortunately it's not going to throw you candy.
Shield tankers .- Don't get confident, people are starting to use the flux more often. Learn to avoid them
Armor tankers.- Pray to your god of preference, and hope CCP resolves that unbalance problem.
With those tips you could have a fair hand with your mindless AR against an average MD user.

The weapon is not a bit too strong at all, if anything it could use a buff.
Try using the MD and compare to using the AR, you will find it is much more difficult to get kills with in all areas (short, mid, and especially long range). The MD is good for getting mostly assists and annoying the hell out of the enemy players, but it certainly isn't OP. |

I'll tell you what isn't OP.
Plasma Cannon, which should have its name changed to potato launcher. |

Pro-tip: Use the plasma cannon for a few matches and get used to it's suckyness, then switch back to the MD and watch the bodies fly. 
I did this last night and I would almost believe the MD got a major buff. People were actually getting hit with splash damage, and the hit-detection actually works!
Almost seemed too easy in comparison, which should say a thing or two about the PC, cause the mass driver isn't exactly up to par either. |

This, this and this.
It is extremely effective on disorienting enemies but to get kills with it... |
