Make The Charge Rifle Great Again!

The flow of games has become even more "campy" since the charge rifle was nerfed AGAIN...  The gun is not worth taking pot shots at enemies anymore.  Doing so gives away your exact position for about 60 damage.  This gun was nerfed in the wrong way IMO. 

I believe is should keep its current ammo (ok nerf).

New Changes:

Increase charge blast time by 1 or 2 seconds.

Add a 1 or 2 second delay between shots (overheat like effect).

Increase damage to 100+ with headshot (less than 100 with fortified and or purple+ helmet)

Decrease spawn rate (further?)

OR

Make it a laser Kraber!  ***Supply Drop only option

    @Pallo421 I know people complained constantly about getting near instantly killed by this gun at range. That was mainly due to the charge rifles fast fire rate. Reverting the damage nerf and increasing the time between shots will give opponents ample time to avoid the second shot. While still giving the user a nice 100+ damage hit; which forces that person to hide and heal up. Getting instantly melted won't happen unless your team coordinates their shots with multiple charge rifles. Good luck finding multiple in a game, my team rarely is able to get one, let alone two in a match.
    Now we tend to avoid this gun when we get lucky enough to find one.... The longbow is now the better weapon, with neither gun standing out like months ago in their "glory days".

    @Pallo420  @Pallo421 
    I absolutely agree with you both.

    Decreasing fire rate, increasing damage and blast time, adding a delay sound good and cool.
    I think in addition to all it should have bullet spread. I've some thoughts about this in other post. It's here.
    Not sure about a laser kraber, but guess it should do 100+ damage with headshot.

    lol, no. This weapon is bad for competitive scene. Put this gun in the hands of a Predator or Pro and you will complain. It's that easy. 

    I don't even use the weapon and haven't been for awhile. I only pick it up if I land and have no weapon. I end up getting rid of it after finding weapons I prefer as any other player normally do. 

    As for the golden Charge Rifle. If I see that weapon in a death box. I hide it somewhere, unless I know the ring is closing and I no longer need to worry about someone picking that up out the Golden Deathbox.

    @Pallo421 I don't bother picking up the charge rifle because of how over powered it is. It has more base damage than the longbow (a gun dedicated for long distance damage) with no bullet drop and an insane bullet velocity that gives insta hits. You can 3rd party mop teams without getting within 300 feet. I played the CR for 2 days and got bored with how easy it is. They need to keep the damage output how it is now and increase the charge time. Ranked is a nightmare due to teams all having one.

    @chiefthunderball I play on console. Maybe there is a significant difference?
    I've been predator since before CoD came out. I have not been downed by a charge rifle ever. Sure they can be annoying and make me stop to heal. I also play pathfinder. Meta characters (Path, Wraith, Bangalore) can very easily avoid being downed or take 6 damage. I usually laugh when people shoot me for 6 twice!

    Bump.  People will never stop complaining no matter how much this weapon is nerfed.  IMO it's near useless at this stage.

    Revert charge rifle to initial release state AND make it a supply drop weapon.  Get rid of that useless L-Star, literally no one ever picks it up.  Whenever my teammate opens a supply drop and groans, I know which gun was in it...
