Nerf hemlock and volt (& balance in general)

Hemlock is way way too op, zero recoil and can down people in 1-2 bursts (3-4 with red evo ) . Definitely needs more recoil and either slower bursts fire rate and/or slightly lower damage . 

Volt I cbf to even talk about , it’s just a scummy weapon that melts you instantly and again has no recoil and way too high damage (relative to lower ttk)

Sort it out , games a joke right now .  Reducing ttk was a * move anyway, but to not balance weapons at all in conjunction with that is beyond stupid . I’d honestly rather be lasered from distance with the r99/ wingman meta any day over this s**t - at least when it was that not even everyone ran it cause it took more skill to aim with unlike hemlock / volt now . 

Even when I’m getting kills myself with hemlock it just feels incredibly cheap and it’s basically an essential weapon now . 
  
Id say snipers are the only guns truly in a good spot now (but why would you pick one up when you can just use hemlock  )

Oh and  by nerf I don’t mean make it terrible and make another gun more powerful to take its place , I mean BALANCE the guns ffs .

    @DarthValtrex Yeah definitely. Overall It outclasses every automatic weapon close range atm (including carepackage r99 which is kinda ridiculous) . Devotion with turbo is lethal , but I see that maybe once every 5 or so games and even then don’t think it’s op. Everyone and their mother is running volt/hemlock right now

    @MassiveVernon Yup, I lit up a gibi with an alternator. He turned around dropped me almost instantly. The only reason he won, was the OP gun.

    @DarthValtrex Classic . Alternator was my most used weapon of season 5 , but it just doesn’t cut it at all anymore unfortunately ☹️
  • @MassiveVernon I do not like to complain about guns but the volt is pretty dumb right now. For a gun that easy to control the damage is too high.
