Edgelord over here, chill out.
I am going to pre-suppose you are right about the power level, despite my real disagreements.
One, some weapons are intended to be better. Core design of the game.
Two, smaller changes are generally more reasonable changes. The game works on somewhat small margins oftentimes. Wingman, be no sane metric, was so OP it ruined the game or meant the other weapons were unusable. It had clear advantages, to be sure, but if you are going to argue that in dominates everything in every way, you are beyond reason and just try to to win points by being edgy.
Given that, smaller changes to refine the weapon design and move it into a better place are very reasonable. 17% DPS reduction is quite real, especially considering the weapon didnt have the highest DPS to begin with.
Now chill out and stop feebly trying to make people more competent than you feel bad.
Have you ever even played the game? Or are you one of those console players who has a hard time beating AI in shooters let alone aim at actual players? On PC, the Wingman is the be-all end-all weapon. Talking about DPS is just so incredibly dumb and shows you have literally no idea what this game is about. The DPS on the Kraber is trash. Does that make it a worthless weapon, or is it beneficial to have a weapon that can literally 1-shot someone who doesn't have both epic (or legendary) armor AND helmet? This is exactly what the Wingman does. Yes, it's not the biggest DPS. So if you're hitting a target dummy, you're better off with the R-99 or just pull out a Turbocharged Devotion and call it the most broken thing in the game.
But this isn't a PvE game. And this game shouldn't be balanced around people playing with a stupid controller. The problem of the Wingman is its damage. Simple as. Rate of fire honestly doesn't even come close to mattering when your opponent can just chip (or more like chop with its * damage) your health while running fast enough to instantly hide behind cover if you use a "DPS" weapon.
Feel free to keep playing devil's advocate though. Don't want your toy to get the significant nerf it deserves I assume. God forbid that 90% of the forum posts are correct in the fact that that piece of * has to be nerfed into the ground.
complain complain complain..if ya dont want to be destroyed by the wingman learn how to shoot. tired of games wanting to cater to the casual. now after the patch all you can find is those stupid energy weapons that just make for some lame and weird fights. everyone just holding down lmb and hipfiring..LAME..lower the damage fine but dont make it where only a few ppl can even find it in the match. that imo makes it even more of an overpowered weapon because now just a select few squads have one and everyone else is immediately at disadvantage assuming the wingman carrier is a halfway decent player

"Learn how to shoot" he says, while ADSing with a wingman strafing side to side at full speed, against an r301 ADSing and cannot move.
Sounds like the wingman users are the ones that need to learn how to shoot, seeing as they can only hit stationary targets
