This is my second post on this topic as the first post explains the problem, this has a solution.
Dmg is a problem with the prowler but I feel the big hits are that a longer wait between bursts is needed, longer 5 shot bursts and more recoil would be better since prowler should rule like a shotgun because of its burst potential but should start to vastly reduce at range through hard to control recoil. If the dmg with a white clip is just enough to down a purple shield like any other SMG with a white clip. The damage should be 13 since 3 bursts at 14 dmg is still able to down a purple.
This is a nice balance but dmg should be there but it's effective range should start to decline because it's like a shotgun for those who don't like to use shotguns.
The L-Stars Problem is its clip size. Allowing it to get bigger clips its total overheat timer is increased.
With a no clip let's say I'm about to overheat, I stop shooting for a seconds and get 6 bullets back. With a gold clip and am about to overheat, I stop shooting for a second and get 15 bullets back. That's the problem, they need to make the cooldown get 6 bullets back after waiting a second no matter the clip level, only keep the overall heat timers. This forces players to overheat to reload and only use the cooldown if the enemies are really low.
L-Star abuse isn't that vastly known since it is overshadowed by prowler and Rampage for good reasons.
Rampage, the only thing I can think of the Rampage is that it needs actual recoil because it's the most effective weapon at mid-range since recoil is pretty non existent and maybe -1 in dmg. But if u have good aim, a r-99, volt or shotgun. You should win most close range engagements against Rampage Abusers that aren't gibby.
