"Wingman Nerf", my vision on this gun

Let's start off that the wingman is a powerful and easy gun to use. And since this game should be skill based and not be based on easy to use guns or rapid clicking to build walls (Ughh Fortnite). I would love to say nerfing the Wingman shouldn't be done. Or at least in a sense.

I would love to see this game take the turn of pure skill, technical and aim based (Also because I ain't good in anything else rather than those 2). So we should increase the skill gap and so the learning curve of the gun and let it keep his power. Increase the skill required to use te gun and tweak map the hip performance and increase the recoil or do something, I don't know what exactly. 

This is my rough feedback on the Wingman nerf.

    In principle I agree

    Im not against a HIGH skill HIGH reward weapon

    HOWEVER, currently, its a low skill high reward weapon = OP

    The best tweak, imo, would be to cap its ROF like the Longbow making it MUCH less spamable

    If you can get consistent hits, sure, its brutal

    But every miss will cost you dearly

    yeah just reduce its RoF and ammo size by half, that would make it still viable but only in hands of really skilled aimers and not just spam shots hoping some hit

    @Prupisek Reducing ROF will help but just by a bit. The dramatic change of clip size is a full nerf, that makes the gun without an L2 or L3 mag extender unusable and if I'm right you only have the now normal 6 bullets with L3 mag when you reduce clip size by 50%. So nope. I think decreasing ROF by a good bit and slightly increase recoil will do.

    @Nepkin_Zwifs yes i know and i think 6 bullets is just right amount, you can destroy anyone 1v1 still if you can aim shots and not just spam it, i personaly think thats the worst thing about WM that they can shoot 12 shots and you need only 4-5 to kill someone in body which is insane value ratio.With 6 bullets it gives chance to other weapons to counter somehow because WM will have to reload more often.

    No skill? You must be on pc. On console it takes a bit more to hit the shots. It’s fun to get into a gun fight with a highly skilled people when I have a wingman and they do because it shows who really has the better shots. People are actually good at the game will scraf and dip and dodge shots and put shots on the player whille doing this.  So it shows who has the true skill.

    I heard, while watching a stream, "They nerfed the Wingman."  If that's true, I don't see it.  What, was it nerf by -5 damage done?  I seen a person with 2/4ths gold armor go down to 1/5th health in one shot.  That means they tore through 120 health in one shot.  It's still too OP imo.

    If the Wingman was, "nerfed," whoever made this adjustment...  Either your a Wingman abuser or you need to find a new job.  Not trying to be disrespectful, but I don't see any difference really.
