Who thinks the Energy guns are way too overpowered?

The Havoc and Devotion are extremely overpowered, find myself dying after 3 shots without Turbocharger. With Turbo, it seems impossible to evade with almost every character besides Wraith and Octane.

Now, same could be said for the peacekeeper, but it is only overpowered with the Choke, which makes sense.

Is there any chance we could see a Nerf on these two guns?

  • No nerf! Learn to evade my energized shots! XD. I hardly get killed by non turbocharged weapons unless I'm greedy and didnt notice the weapon in the target's hand. Or unless I'm getting flanked.
    I dont think they're overpowered. They just kill you fast if you're not quick on your feet. But same thing's with R99. Just slide and jump to evade in close quarters. With cover. Get behind cover and let him reload.
  • Nah not OP. Without the Turbocharger, they are only good if you choose to fight it in a full on "ads-and-spray" duel.
    Since you can hear the wind-up, its so easy to outplay it. Just be smart and fight behind covers etc etc.

    With the Turbocharger, they are viable, even good but not OP. Considering that the turbocharger is a golden tier item, it SHOULD make them good, but so is a R301 or R99 with purple mag and barrel.

    Also, both the Devotion and Havoc loses ground compared to many other weapons on the mid range. I would take a R301 before a Havoc with TC any day of the week on that awkward range where a 1x-2x sight is a little bit to weak but 3x+ is too much etc.

    Energy weapons are powerful, indeed, but this does not mean they are OP. Turbocharged weapons are difficult to evade, but it takes practice.

    Actually if you have a good player against you the effect will be the same even if he is shooting you with Alternator.
