Re: Nerf the Charge Rifle - PLEASE I BEG YOU

@IAmTheMeddler You disagree because you like the gun because of the OP capabilities it carries?

Doesn't sound reasonable. I love the gun myself and always go on the hunt to find one to ensures my team better chances at winning but without a doubt it needs a nerf considering one solid beam can knock your lvl 3 armor out and another will put you on your knees.

I've been shot at and been shooting at other with this weapon and it's like shooting holy beams at players without any consequence.

@iBlockHead I have gotten far more kills with this weapon compared to the number of times I have been killed by it, and I would consider myself an average player. So I don't really understand all of the complaining coming from people saying they are always dying from it. If you are always dying from it, it is probably because you aren't playing smart and consistently putting yourself in situations where you are out in the open.

This community sometimes sounds like a broken record... "Nerf this. Nerf that. Nerf, nerf, nerf..." If they nerf this gun, then they are going to have nerf another gun which will then be considered the most powerful gun. And before you know it, all of the guns in the game end up being trash and people stop playing because none of the weapons are fun to use anymore.
How about instead of nerfing everything, they just buff some of the underpowered weapons to make them more viable?

@IAmTheMeddler You just proved everyone's point sir.

"I have gotten far more kills with this weapon compared to the number of times I have been killed by it, and I would consider myself an average player."

If the average player can just pick this weapon up and begin to drop bodies left and right, does that not indicate something is wrong with the weapon because of how easy it is to use and get kills with it?

I rarely agree with any nerfs or buffs and just stay on the side that says get better. But this gun in every way possible is just broken. No bullet drop? Infinite range? Hit scan that tears off shields in 1 shot?

From the moment you spot someone, they are pretty much considered dead because of how deadly the weapon is in anyone's hands. This should not be the case, like the Longbow or any other sniper,or gun for that matter, there should be some skill in using this weapon but there isn't.

You have not even brought up a reasonable argument to why you think it isn't overpowered so until you do so, your opinion on this matter will go on deaf ears.

@iBlockHead LOL. You only picked apart half of what I said, so let me explain the other half for your understanding. If I'm just an average player wouldn't you agree that I would also die more by it compared to other more skilled players?
I got into a few different fights tonight against squads that had a charge rifle, and even with taking shots from it we still managed to defeat every squad. Why? It's all about playing smart and not leaving yourself in vulnerable positions.
So by your logic, if this gun doesn't require any skill to use and is so deadly like you insist, shouldn't I be losing every single gunfight against someone who has a charge rifle, especially since I am just an average player?

@IAmTheMeddler I'm pretty decent at the game with how I made my way to diamond through soloing in squads. I know how overpowered the gun is because obviously anyone using it will get more kills with it than being killed by it.

You say it's about playing smart and not leaving yourself open, but when a gun has a hitscan capability, you can't really maneuver yourself into a good spot as the initial shot slows you down, making you an easier target to hit if you run out in the open. I've played this game since day 1 and know all about good strats and how to judge every engagement I'm in but the new charge rifle makes that an almost impossible dream.

Pushing players who are just lasering you with it is just not ideal nor is being the only one on your team using it vs 3 others who get their shots in. This gun takes 2 shots to down any player with lvl 3 armor. One shot alone rips the whole armor apart.

Also saying something like, "shouldn't I be losing every single gunfight against someone who has a charge rifle, especially since I am just an average player?" does not really help your point. Even I can pull out ontop using a Moz. A gun that everyone thinks is garbage.

I say again, bring up a valid reason as to why the gun should not be nerfed and than we'll have a decent discussion here. So far it seems as though you just enjoy using the gun because of how OP it currently is. I too enjoy mowing down enemies but even I can see that it's too easy to use and for being a sniper, it's pretty much around the same as the PK was pre-patch when you could sniper players from across the map with the choke.

@iBlockHead I'm giving you just as valid of a reason as you are, because both of our reasoning is based on our opinion. You cannot quantify opinions.

@BrazzerHunger Yes, I do know how to use every gun in the game and can get kills with every gun in the game. And I think my 2+ k/d helps to indicate that I am not some scrub at the game who can finally get kills because of the charge rifle. I still regularly use the triple take, but if I come across a charge rifle I am going to use that because it is more fun to use.

But all of this aside, everyone who is complaining about this gun can finally put a smile back on your face since Respawn announced a nerf will be coming for this gun

@IAmTheMeddler The nerf was expected since day one. It isn't opinion that the gun is OP. It's fact. Otherwise why nerf it?

If indeed it was balanced as you believe than it would stay the same. Guns are tweaked based on their ability to kill. As far as anyone can see, the Charge Rifle made it way to easy to kill whoever you were aiming at without any difficulties or drawbacks.

This is why the Alternator (S2) was nerfed. Alt. + Hop-up was fun to use but was OP and everyone saw that.

@iBlockHead So you agree with every single thing that has been nerfed at some point in this game? (i.e. Shotgun ammo stacks, Wattson, etc)
If so, I respect your consistency with always agreeing with what the developers do.

In the end, I'll welcome any changes they put into the game. Just hope they don't make this gun obsolete by nerfing it into the ground.

@KissYourHomieUwU Makes no sense why they nerfed the longbow it required skills and the only time my stupid teammates would be killed is trying to take on someone with the long bow who has high ground advantage over them

@IAmTheMeddler The charge rifle requires absolute no skills.
