@Gabrielmojo26 I am glad made things un balanced. I feel havoc is next that things recoil is broken also and can lay down some mad heat with or without the turbo.
Reducing the damage from 17 to 16 and increasing recoil is not going to save the season. Its not going to change much as well. Your still going to get lasered in a few sec.
Prowler and Hemlock are insane atm as well. Havoc has literally no-recoil and insane damage.
Volt is another problem.
Game is beyond saving atm.
And this so call "fast" changes just show you how much the so call "devs" knows their own game and they don`t know a . how to balance the game.
Turn this into ability mix > skill was just the beginning of the end.
They pretty much state we [Admin - Removed] up the whole thing .... They should have though about this, before releasing a patch where they decide to totally change the game, which no one ask for.
Player base must be so low, they are in a panic mode.
I just tested this and its the same, 1 less dmg and a bit of recoil won't do anything at all, needs less ammo, more recoil, maybe more ammo consumption, and less efectiveness at long ranges, maybe a higher movement penalty at all times while carrying, super slow equip time, idk, maybe remove it from the game xD
Nqh Devotion was a gun that was super SUPER strong and OP. His place in the game was perfect as a CP weapon.
It was plain stupid to put R99 at the CP and brings Devotion in normal loot, without nerfing it. And even with a nerf, its still going to be super strong.Again why would you put a Devotion in the normal loot, where there is Havoc in there? You can`t make Devotion worst than Havoc, cause there is no sense in that, but Havoc was super strong already, so the only option is to put Devotion in the CP permanent or the current situation - being super broken.
Devotion was never a fan favorite weapon, aka super cool looking, like a real life weapon, like R99/R301, which are pretty much Mp5 and M4, which are fan favorite, and will always be liked and used because of their look and their feel.
They pretty much suicide themself, because of a very few % of the playerbase that was just terrible and complain they were getting lasered by R99, because their movement is purely bad.
How you can complain about being beamed by R99, but feel good now? It was just haters for the R99 and because all Pro players and people just love it.
This is equal to CS:GO Devs to decide to remove MP4, its going to lose a lot of its playerbase and pretty much make 90% of the people mad.
