Re: LMGs is really OP for now

@papahandsoap Slightly disagree with you here. Guns should differ in what advantages they give you to make your choices meaningful. When it comes to the Rampage I'm perfectly happy with it having low recoil so long as it's noticeably weaker in head to head fights. A nerf to the rate of fire is what I'd prefer on the Rampage so that it stays an easy to use mid-range gun that puts you at a disadvantage if you use it up close.

    @heme725 The door breaking with thermites needs to go as well. Guns should not be able to destroy one of the most important pieces of cover in the game.

    @heme725 I meant that in a general sense, LMGs in Apex are overly oppressive without much drawback period. The rampage can still be used to dominate up close if you keep thermites on you, it's more threatening than the spitfire was up close in that state imo. There is no real penalty when an LMG with 40 (rampage), 48 (devo w mag), or infinite (lstar if used well) has little to no recoil and can be managed as easily as the game's baseline ARs.

    @papahandsoap I didn't even consider the termite buff so you're probably right about that. I've never feared the Rampage up close but I'm really hating it at range. It may be a bit TOO easy and effective from that distance so I'd be ok with a slight nerf.

    I don't take the devotion seriously outside of close range unless it has a turbocharger since the delay is easy to capitalize on.

    The Lstar is another joke gun to me outside of close range. The bullets can blind me but its the only gun with bullets big and slow enough to actually dodge.

    @TinyTim6991 Back when the Spitfire was considered weak some players suggested giving it the ability to blast through doors. I'm not saying your wrong just that this is something they community actually asked for. If I saw it happen even once I'd likely agree with you though.

    @heme725 Honestly it is much easier to find turbos this season and I consider that to be like a "soft buff" for devo. It is incredibly threatening with or without one when you're facing a good player that either keeps it kitted or knows how to time the prefire.

    Rampage just has too much to be good at right now. The thermite charge isn't the broken part of the gun, it's the little-to-no range drop and the lack of damage falloff. It basically functions as a G7 or repeater with a giant mag until you drop a thermite in it.

    L-STAR is just belligerently overtuned right now. The gun was already capable as hell before, but it was simply not picked up a lot. I think it's ridiculous that they shelved the spitfire just to make the L-STAR worse and drop a super overtuned (at range) rampage.
