At the very least lower the spawn rate...I know having them both would be crazy but most weapon classes have atleast four options, the hand gun class being the exception. The L- star is a joke and the devotion is suspect minus attachments. Im only suggesting if the EA gods decide not to nerf the Rampage, another viable LMG option should be available.

From this short conversation, I can see what type of Apex player you are...I don't usually try to use LMGs, my opinion is there's less skill evolved than say a wingman. You have enlightened me however, and I will try to use one more often. I'll be sure to grab the L-star from your death box if I come across it!
-_- at this rate there will eventually be no lmgs on the on the ground, still no light variant yet people want the ones available to get a nerf, care packaged, or lower spawns.
The Rampage is not a problem at all. If you are 1v1 CQC against a player with a Rampage then you are going to win as the fire rate is so slow. If you are mid-range that you should be close to cover. If you a long-range then that's no problem as the bullet drop off from the Rampage is bad.
I do carry a Rampage with a 3x as my secondary a lot of the time so I can pick off peeps who are too far from cover. If I down you, then it's your own fault.

The L-star is a joke... a bad one even. It is much worse when fully extended than it was when it was so bad that it was not used.
When I see someone shooting at me with an L-Star, it can now be completely ignored.
I've played thousands of games and used a multitude of weapon and character combinations. The L-Star is not an end game weapon and the user would get merched by most weapons outside a close quarters situations. I know it wrecks when you're in a room against white shields but it has no mid to long range upside. I've found that most battles in ranked situations rarely result in a 3v3 L-Star showdown. I don't play battle royal games to drop hot, get two kills, and do it all over again 2 minutes later.
@Cheese9Manu seein what I'm seein?
@damsonwhufndthis Might be a difference in regions or systems? The Lstar is rarely used outside of close-range in my lobbies and I'm playing on the PS4 in the U.S.
I've heard people say it's pretty beastly at range since it has no bullet drop off but nobody uses it that way possibly because of the ammo consumption? Maybe the size of the bullets make them easy to see and therefore avoid? Dunno since nobody uses it at range against me.
Back on topic the Rampage is surprisingly better than the Spitfire. Another gun that doesn't need to reload until you drop your target and the low rate of fire/recoil typically leads to more shots landing. It's a popular choice for weaker players that lets them compete up to mid-range. Again this applies to the competition I see on PS4.
@heme725so ur saying just because its close range it means you can't use it long range? I'Ve seen many people blast me or someone else with R99 long range
with SMG, a gun for close range
Let me be clear, I started this to let EA know how OP the rampage is and not how irrelevant the L-Star is. In general I enjoy playing the game, I could, on the other hand, complain about all the things, in my opinion, are "wrong" with it, but for this threads sake I will merely rebutt replies to my comments.
@damsonwhufndthis Nah I'm saying it may be less common for players on a different system to use it that way.
Sorry to derail the thread since this is supposed to be about the obnoxious Rampage.
I have zero issue with Rampage. I wish people would stop wanting to nerf nerf nerf everything they have a problem with. Adapt. It has a distinctive sound - you know when one is nearby.
I don't really care for it myself as I've lost too many close range 1 v 1s with it and other weapons are more versatile/viable (in my opinion) but if people want to rock the rampage and are good at it, let them. Adapt.
I always find it bizarre when people complain about stuff like this. "It's too common", "it's too OP"... .you're aware you can pick it up too if you feel that way right?

@Donidonyou're telling me a weapon that doesnt need to reloaded, has a good firerate, only get better with more attachments, has a large magazine capacity, is excellent in close-range dps and decent at mid range, has a large projectile so its hard to avoid and easy to get headshots with???
if i see an lstar in someones hands i know i can expect an unrelenting wave of dps if im up close and should probably keep my distance so i dont get instantly lasered. you would you apprach someone holding a devo in CQC?? you wouldnt the same can be said for the lstar, i used to think it was junk until i started using it more, you're sleeping on it
Yes maybe you should read the patch notes first after a patch and try things out first. Obviously you haven't. That's why it's pointless to talk to you about it.... what you write was true in Season 10, but not in Season 11 anymore.
I think the Rampage is fine. Especially since it really needs the thermal grenade.
But buff guns, if you feel the Rampage is OP. Sick of nerfing, it's made the game ridiculous. Why are you making a gun game when the bullets do as much damage as a slap?
You might as well make a slappy fight game. Splatoon II showed it cam be done. Or do people need to be fooled into being 'serious' when the damage and weapons in the game aren't serious at all in how they work?
I don't think the rampage is too bad tbh...if I was to request a nerf for it though it'd be to the headshot multiplier as that damage is just bonkers.
As for this whole "The L-Star is a joke" tangent....if you use it extensively you'll realise its really not, the thing melts if you can control it.
Is it top tier? No. Is it trash? Definitely not.
