CHARGE RIFLE
The new CHARGE RIFLE weapon is too strong, should be from the drop like Mastiff or kraber, everyone is running with this rifle now.
I miss the Longbow days, back then you could actually see who could aim - with a hit scan sniper - you can land shots in your sleep. I tend to refuse using it, since its too effiencient with how easy it is to use. I get 0 stratification landing shots with it, back with Longbow hitting a headshot on a moving target felt great though, since not a lot could do that. I hope they will nerf this no skill charged rifle into the ground, I really do. This weapon belongs in Overwatch, not Apex.
I get that they wanted to cater to the potato aims, but seriously, this is too much.
I feel like for me personally,the main issue with it is the fact that the beam itself completely obscures the shooter when they're using a charge rifle and you're using any other sniper, makes counter sniping a real pain in the butt, combine this with the lack of recoil from the charge rifle and it makes finding a gap to shoot the user with any other sniper a real pain.
I can live with the damage and fall off range, although i understand why it's aggravating people so much.
