NERF WINGMAN
Revert back to Season 4 Wingman. This gun is too OP (already OP since season 4 but this too much OP)...With skullpiercer or without.

Absolutely not. Pick up a R99, learn how to aim with it and watch every wingman user fall to you every single time in a duel.. I am sick and tired of seeing your kind and your whining based on simple opinion, not facts.. Other guns have more DPS, now THAT is a fact.. The wingman is fine.
Ah yes, that just proves everything, doesn't it? "I beat a devotion user with windup time using wingman, must be OP". Your logic is flawless xD
Yep. And I used R99 as an example as it is a relatively easy to find gun, now how many Devotions do you find in a game hmm? Also, devotion is prime noob bait, no decent to good player would keep a windup weapon. Another FACT right there.. Wingman actually has one of the lowest DPS per weapons in the game, yet another fact. Go look up a weapon DPS chart, educate yourself a bit and you'll find that wingman in it's state before this season ranked 3rd from the bottom, right after mozambique and p2020 and seeing how no changes to body shots was made, or faster shooting time, it will still keep that rank. Yet another FACT.
Towards the final squads of a game, I do find quite a few devotions (or Krabers) usually. That can be felt under circumstances such as our entire squad quickly dying, or me going one-shotted with red evo armor. Although thanks for asking, kinda gives me the opportunity to strengthen my statement. Despite the wind-up time, Devotions is a high DPS weapon with which I have scored quite a few kills. Could probably joke about it again and say that's a fact, but I have standards. Wingman does not have a high DPS. Very true. Unlike weapons such as R-99 or Devotion (or R-301, Flatline or Spitfire), it's a mid-speed, high damage weapon allowing for peeking and quick burst fires. In other words, you barely give your enemy enough time to deal any kind of considerable damage. And if you perform such from a good distance away, you can even completely take out the whole enemy squad without taking any damage.
I was able in my last match to two-shot people. With the new attachment that's now possible up to purple armor if they don't have a good helmet. And yes, that is a very powerful trait of a weapon. I don't need high DPS if two shots are enough. All I need is good timing and aiming, and then I can down people without getting damaged myself.
Although I can fully understand your statement about high DPS and spraying people with bullets. It's the easiest way to score kills.
If you understand it then why defend that the wingman needs a nerf? Yes, if you have the attachment and can land headshots every time, (which you can't, not even the most esteemed players like Shroud can) then sure, it is an amazing weapon that can be standing on top of the food chain. But if you do not land your shots in the head, you will only be doing 45 damage per shot. It is a high risk, high reward weapon and should be allowed to exist without the excessive cries of players who are nothing more than decent at the game at best..
It is no coincidence that after the nerf hammering that the wingman took, and even with the buff it received in season 4, that top tier players straight up favored and kept favoring other weapons before the wingman. It is simply because they are better and raises the chances of a win by a good margin. While execution is important, so is optimal damage. And wingman just isn't anywhere near optimal as it is right now, not even with the skull piercer.
My bad. Was under the impression that you said what you did to justify another wingman nerf. xD
Guys I love this weapon, it nerfed a lot, almost in every single season and this is the first time that other than a slight headshot nerf, it gets a buff (hop up)... maybe let the season pass for at least a week before asking for nerfs?
