The Wingman and Peacekeeper are objectively overpowered

Its safe to say these two guns are ruining the game right now on PC. They are too strong and pretty much everyone who is aware of this is using them every single game. This also has the effect of mak...

Well, now I'm down to a handful of friends playing this game because the rest got bored of either fighting against Wingman or bored of having to use it. Literally, you see most squads who know how to play FPS games run Wingman & PK combo because it's really the only viable weapon combo. Sure, you can use anything in a decent squad and wreck most teams if you are all good gamers, but equal opponents? No, you just can't compete with any other combo.

I am really tired of playing this game already and the rest I play with are too. I don't see this game lasting that long because of the above problem and now with the bugs appearing more and more, the stupidly designed hitboxes and unbalanced heroes, it seems the 'Best BR' game is actually turning into a piece of S**T that'll fall apart quicker than all other BR games.

Just had a game where I was shot once with the wingman, turned around, unloaded half a clip from the Spitfire into this wraith. She was basically dead, then she just two tapped me because all of a sudden I couldn't hit her anymore due to her smaller hitbox and side stepping, and I'm a sitting duck as Caustic with my fat *.

I just don't see how hitting them, even with purple armor, I couldn't down them in 10+ shots, but she downs me with the same armor in 3. With a starting pistol no less.

I played last night purposely avoiding wingman out of boredom. Spitfire 30/60 shots on target on someone with blue armor no drop. I dropped in purple to maybe 3 shots out of whatever their clip size was on their wingman.
what makes me shake my head is if that was wingman on wingman I win but I chose to not use the ez button.
next game I go back to wingman and win the game 1v3....

  I've said in a previous post, that if I didn't pick up the Peacekeeper once and a while, I'd probably never win (aside from the carries). Truthfully, I've probably won a few games without it, but honestly speaking, it's probably because someone on my team did.
  
  I refuse to pick up the wingman unless it's my only option, I'm garbage with the gun anyway since I never use it. Even with that, I am still dealing significant enough damage to the enemy players to reward my squad the win, simply because I was able to hit someone once with it.
  
  I'm not really sure where I am going with this, other then to reiterate my own opinion of how unbalanced the gun is. I guess I am just getting tired of the same old story, over and over again, in every match. Get a fully kitted gun I actually like and am decent with, gets two tapped by some guy with a wingman, or peacekeeper. Hell at this point if they just reduced the spawn rate of the damn gun I'd be happier.
  
  I will give them this though, they did in a different thread, mention they are actually looking into it. So I am going to wait and see what it is they do, and suffer through some more matches.
