Back from vacation, tried couple of games, are SMGs still viable? lol

On paper, the white and blue laser sights are still have worse hip fire spreads than the season 13 SMG hip-fire values and only the purple laser sight that actually improves the hip-fire. In game though, they don't feel any different so to me, I don't really care if I have them or not. 

I agree, just play the game and you'll get used to it. I love how the guns work right now. Only weapons that kinda suck (for me) are the spitfire and the L-star. Maggie + Maggie ult + Eva-8 = Most OP thing you could face at close range.
