Method of nerfing the charge rifle?
To me it looks relatively simple: the charge rifle hits for instances of 3 damage, ending in a hit of 45 resulting in 90 damage total reducing the first damage instances to 1 damage, and keeping th...

Not sure I would agree that a weapon that takes three hours to reload is in need of a nerf. Yes, it's powerful. Yes, it's easy to use. But also, yes, it's slow as f***.
That said, you're right that sniping in general is in a weak spot, but I'd say that's by design. Respawn doesn't want this game dominated by a sniping meta. I'm actually surprised they came up with a sniping legend in the first place, although I don't think she's much to write home about from a gameplay standpoint.
At any rate, the charge rifle may be frustrating to die to, but honestly what weapon in this game isn't frustrating to die to? I'm sure that Respawn, being very data-driven, has all the important stats about how often the weapon gets picked up, how often it downs, and how often it kills, and if any of those numbers were too high then something would be done. Oh wait, it has been. There are fewer of them on the ground vs. past seasons, and scopes are thinner as well.

- @reconzero The gun takes literally no skill to use that's probably the actual reason respawn doesn't nerf it. Fps love guns that help bots not have to improve to feel like they're doing well. The gun is broken and your the only person I've seen disagree

"Fps love guns that help bots not have to improve to feel like they're doing well."
There are far too many people in this game resorting to modded controlers and aimbots for me to believe that there is a reasonable route to improvement through practice. Oh, that and the fact that I've personally put in 20k matches and to this day find 95% of the weapons in the game to be WORTHLESS. I'm not saying that every other player's experience is a mirror of my own, but the weapons in this game are "designed to fail" so that "good" players who find a way to overcome those failures will rise to the top while the rest of us flail and fail and get lectured to about how we're just too lazy to put in the work.
And I'm also not sure that my disagreement counts as statistical significance when there is only me, you, and the original poster. You're gonna have to show me a better response than that before you give me "you're the only person I've seen."
