Ok i changed my mind: Wing needs a slight nerf lol

Just watch the ALGS Playoffs these days: basically everyone uses it lmao, high damage, low ammo needed, high reward. Yes you'll tell me that it needs skill to use so in my opinion they should nerf ju...

@Cro_Pittt I don’t know man, nerfing the last viable weapon that needs actual skill is not really the way to go I think. It in fact should outperform the 301 for example, else why take the risk when you can just beam people ezmode with 301 ?

@matzesingtIt isn't a high skill gun now and here is why: Top level players that care about max rank and ALGS use the meta guns which are the easiest to use relative to damage. All of them using wingman means this is the gun they find easiest to use to inflict bigger damage. ALGS players using it over the r301 speaks to this.

As kel said maybe the issue really is that all other guns have been lowered to less useful.

35 dmg per shot, slightly slower rate of fire.

@hayhor Actually a wrong assumption, they play the best weapons and not the easiest.

I really hope you dont mean that r301 is harder to play than wingman lol

  @RevMainPls No I didn't say that at all. I'll repeat this again. The wingman inflicts bigger damage relative to ease of use compared to the 301.
  
  Watching hours and hours of algs this weekend I was laughing. It used to be teams would run snipers to wear teams down and level their evo shields. But guess what- They all ran wingman this weekend because they do 80 something damage at 200 meters and fire much master with bigger mags and when close you get that strafe. Why carry a sniper anymore at all is my new motto.

    @hayhor Issue is not wingman beeing to strong but snipers beeing way to weak.
